    This is the episode that we were preparing for. The ninth chapter titled Homecoming and by now we know that means confrontation between good and evil. Claire is of course at the center of this episode. When she punches Jackie for a lame comment she made for Zack, her father grounds her and we start believing that the cheerleader is in fact saved. But the writers have other plans. The award given to Jackie for her so called save of the firefighter is the reason why Jackie is put in the fire without knowing the reason. Sylar kills the wrong cheerleader while Peter saves the right one by accident. The painting that shows a dead Peter in front of the school comes true but thanks to Claire's regenerative ability Peter is healed when he absorbs it. He ends up being arrested of course but better behind bars than dead right?
    Mohinder's search comes to an end as the boy that comes to his dreams turns out to be alive and has an ability of his own that helps Mohinder realize his destiny and return to New York to warn our Heroes.
    Now key moments will have to be when Sylar kills Jackie and witnesses Claire's ability at the same time, Sylar and Peter's first encounter (one that will give Peter a very cool power), Nathan's reaction when he sees the painting depicting his brother's death (you may want to punch him but he thought he was saving his brother so give him a break) and Jessica's vey cool attitude especially when she is shooting out in the desert.
    One of the best episodes this volume. Enjoy!moreless

    This was a solid episode of Heroes. I thought it was well written and I also thought that the entire episode had entertaining bits here and there. Normally, I don't think that an entire episode that is mostly focused on Claire is that interesting, but I feel that it is okay in this sense. I thought it was better than I thought it would be and it had me hooked for an hour. My favorite aspect of the episode had to be where Claire runs away from Sylar and almost doesn't make it. I thought that was really funny. Thank you.moreless

    Puse un nueve porque confo en que esto va a mejorar. Porque empez de p*** madre y no creo que se vaya al tacho tan de repente. Pero... se torna todo demasiado previsible: Peter salva a Claire muy fcil (durante el captulo ste se encarg de aclarar que su superpoder resida en absorber el de otros y se vi cuando estando cerca de la cheerleader su cuerpo roto se arreglo inmediatamente). El malo es malo en serio y Hiro es bueno en serio que bol*** se perdi lo del colegio porque estaba salvando a una minita creo insignificante.
    Espero por favor que mejore.moreless

    This episode was really amazing. The only part I didn't find great (well, it was still great, but not as good as the other parts) was Mohinders. It was really cool and all, but it wasn't the best in the episode, and not well lighted. Nathan gets Peter's painting, but splashes paint all over it so Peter couldn't see. Simone already got a picture of it though, and the picture was Peter dying at 8:12. Hiro still hasn't returned from the past and Ando keeps waiting. Claire was crowned Homecoming Queen, but when Homecoming starts, Sylar mistakes Jackie for Claire and kills Jackie instead, in the process, Peter fights off Sylar from Claire but injures himself in the process. Apparently, Peter absorbed Claire's power and heals himself, just in time for the cops to get him. This was a totally action-packed and adventurous episode, can't wait to see more like it.moreless

    • When Mohinder finds Chandra's list on the computer, one of the names in the rightmost column is Amid Halebi, a character who only appeared in the unaired pilot. Edit
    • Goof: When Noah finds Claire, she is standing in the middle of the sidewalk, clearly visible. There is blood all over her and people are walking on the steps right beside her. Surely, someone would have seen the blood on Claire. Or do they just not care when people are soaked in blood? Edit
    • Goof: After Peter revives himself with Claire's power, the wounds on his face heal, leaving very little blood on the side of his face. She asks "How did you...?" and we are shown Peter again, with the side of his face soaked in blood. Edit
