103
Claire's romantic interlude with the football quarterback takes a tragic turn. Hiro convinces his friend, Ando, that it is their destiny to travel to America to save the world. Meanwhile, Nathan uses Peter's accident for his own political gain. Officer Matt Parkman, Mohinder Suresh, and the FBI are all on the trail of the mysterious Sylar.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Peter sees Nathan's true face during a speech, Hiro discovers his destiny, Matt tests his newfound ability while Claire tries as much as she can to remain normal which will have dire consequences. hide show
The third part of the volume, more shocking than ever, puts Mohinder closer to discovering Sylar's identity when he finds his address. Peter is shocked to find out that Nathan will do everything he can to become a Congessman even betray his own brother when he states during a speech in front of the press that his brother committed suicide just like his father months ago. Matt tests his ability more and more until he finds one person whose thoughts he can't read.
Claire, trying to blend in as much as possible, reveals her feelings to her classmate Brody which ends up in unexpected results (and to the most shocking and most cool scene you will ever see on TV with which this chapter ends and the next one begins). We meet with Micah's grandmother and Nikki's mother-in-law and we realise that she is not very fond of Nikki. Especially when Nikki confronts Paulette, her mother-in-law, about a ring she found while she was burying the two bodies and which belonged to one of the people DL, Nikki's husband, killed when he was leaving with Linderman's two million dollars. Paulette denies it and we find out that DL is somewhere out there and not imprisoned as he escaped. The problem with Heroes is that there are two many characters and stories to deal with but that has never been raised as a problem until Volume 3 (my personal opinion is that Volume 3 was awesome despite the bad reviews). There are many characters but as their stories intertwine it doesn't seem annoying. Nevertheless, the characters are still unfamiliar about each other, something which will change in the following episodes. Stay tuned!
Mohinder finds the boogeyman and Claire's date comes to an abrupt conclusion. hide show
Hiro tries to convince Ando about his powers and not surprisingly, Ando thinks it is a joke until Hiro uses the comic then freezes time and save a schoolgirl from being hit by a truck.
FBI agent Hansen starts to believe Matt when he reads her mind. Sylar goes after Molly while she is in protective custody and we find out that the mysterious Sylar has very varied powers which is an anomaly from the other special people we've met so far. Does it have something to do with why he removes people's brains?
Mohinder turns out to be very resourceful, he manages to find Sylar's apartment. Seems Chandra helped Sylar find his abilities… whatever that means. At Sylar's place, Mohinder finds another map but far larger and more complex than Chandra's, seems Sylar is trying to find the special people too, but something tells me it's not for altruistic reasons.
Everyone is raving about how Jackie saved the guy in the fire and Claire says nothing. We find out that Jackie did it to look good while she is running for class president. That's a very selfish reason to 'save' someone's life.
Claire finally gets some time alone with the cute quarterback… and he tries to rape her! The only reason he didn't succeed is because he killed her! To top it all off, he strips off her clothes and throws her in the river! He should meet Sylar, they'd get along famously. Claire learned something valuable about her limits – an object (in this case a branch) inserted into her brain at the right spot shuts down her brain, but once it is removed she revives.
Haven't been wild about Nathan since we met him and this was the cherry on top – to get ratings, he uses a teary story about his father's depression and suicide then follows it up with Peter's 'suicide attempt'!!! I still cannot believe Nathan did that! Peter walked out devastated and hurt. What a scumbag! Hard to believe Peter is even related to him!
Lots of new information but my favourite storyline at the moment is the Peter/Nathan saga. Fascinating.

One Giant Leap: 9,2.
Definitivamente me acabo de casar con Heroes. Es mucho más de lo que esperaba y no me arrepiento ni un poco de, al final, haber comprado la primera temporada original (como se debe). Hay alguna forma de no enamorarse de ese personaje absolutamente maravilloso que es Hiro? De no entender tanto a Niki y al Petrelli menor? De no querer tanto a ese policía (cuantas veces imaginé que podía escuchar los pensamientoss de los demás)? El futuro juega con el presente, el malo de la película aparece en toda su dimensión, esta serie es una serie del carajo!
This episode was full of thrills and things... Claire meets this quarterback, and after a hot make out session he trys to like rape her, but when he breaks her neck, she wakes up with her entire body... disassembled. Woah. She was one of my favorite parts of this episode. Usually Nikki is exiting too, but nothing much happened with her in his episode, accept she and her son run into a police offer who isn't actually who he seems, and is working for the same guys who sent thugs to get her. Hiro manages to stop time to save a girl who was about to get hit by a bus, and then his friend believes him and they journey to New York so save the painter guy. The Petrelli brothers are playing family fued, as the older brother accuses Peter of commiting a suicide attempt. Mohamed finds Sylar's lair, and some mysterious graffiti is on the walls, but when they come back with more people, it's all gone.. overall, I just loved this episode. It was so enthralling.
Just kidding haha. No this episode was great I remember when I first begun to watch this show it was so new a freash now when I look back the first half of season one was probably the episodes of the show so far, this episode "One giant leap" is no exception. Plenty of story was going on here a lot was happening but the writers did a great job making it not confusing Hiro and Ando where hilarous. The ending to this episode was so cool, I was shocked and I have to say great job on the special effects.
