    This is one of the episodes where nothing much happens and its only purpose is to move the plot. Regardless, all of our stories move just one step forward with no real changes.
    Claire meets with the Haitian and asks about her biological parents. The Haitian idmits he knows nothing of her father and the only thing she knows about her mother is that she died in a fire 14 years ago. After some research, Claire manages to track down her mother (who is surprisingly alive; you will understand why once you see her ability).
    Hiro on the other hand is on his way to meet Mr Linderman to retrieve the real sword of Takezo Kensei in order to restore his powers. On the way some guys put them in a van telling them that their boss wants to see them and stop this mission of theirs. In the end we find out that the mystery boss is in fact Hiro's father.
    Matt gets suspended for six months after the events of the previous chapter. Returning home he finds some exciting news; that his wife is pregnant (something that will be more thoroughly expanded in both volume 2 and volume 4).
    Peter meets with Claude (the invisible man) and asks him to teach him how to control his ability. Relunctant at first, Claude decides to teach him after he hears that Peter will be responsible for the explosion of New York City. Meanwhile, Nathan visits Mohinder to find his brother but Mohinder tells him he wish he could find him himself because Peter may be the most important of all the special people. When both Nathan and Mohinder find Peter in his appartment, Peter escapes (with the assistance of Claude).
    Niki is still behind bars. After she accepted psychological evaluation in the previous chapter, Niki refuses to let Jessica talk to the psychiatrist but soon she realizes that her family needs her and she cooperates. DL is having problems taking care of Micah as he is not given a job (because he is an ex-con). Micah however finds another way to provide money; by using his ability.
    Finally, Mr Bennet is testing Sylar but Sylar dies in the process (or at least it seems). When Mr Bennet enters Sylar's cell to see him, he sees the body of the doctor instead and a Sylar alive and well inside the cell (This scene becomes better in the following chapter).
    Note: Keep in mind that the whole volume 1 lasts for 1 month (real time: 2nd October until November 5th). Always try to keep time in your head when you are watching Heroes because things might get confusing especially in later volumes when time is not given expressly. Enjoy!moreless

  • Nothing too special

    When some last episode have given major developments then this one was little slow and did not had not so much happening around.

    The pearl was Claire who called her biological mother. That sounds like exciting storyline.

    Other than this.. Hiro got himself into trouble and now without powers some men got them and drove it to Hiro's father. What?

    And a lot of focus was put on Niki again and even if that storyline felt much better than usual, it was still weird and off the pace.

    Ok.. so, not too bad episode as there was movement but nothing major special too. I did love how Peter fooled everyone when he became invisible.moreless

    Aaaahhh!!! Otra vez con los 8 millones de personajes!!! Ahora apareci el hombre invisible (era obvio), la mam de Claire (seguramente la causante del incendio en el que supuestamente murieron) y el padre de Hiro (quin es? el jefe del padre de Claire?). Todo bien pero paren un poco, el hilo de la historia se pierde, nunca se llega a destino porque se pierde demasiado tiempo introduciendo new characters.
    Que cosa! Es un paso adelante, dos pasos adelante, un paso atrs. Tres pasos adelante, un paso adelante, dos pasos atrs. Pero que se le va a hacer, igual est buena y atrapa.moreless

    Hiro and Ando end up getting caught, and Mr.Linderman turns out to be... Hiro's dad? Huge plot twist, I didn't even see it coming. Super surprising, and Hiro's character just keeps getting more and more noble. We'll just see if he can defy his own father to justify his mission. Claude (the invisible guy I think) is going to teach Peter how to control his powers. D.L. is being a father to Micah now, and apparently Micah uses his own power to get cash. Lots of cash. Matt opens up to his wife about his power, but is sentenced to a six month suspension from his job as a policeman. Claire tries to find her birth mother, who apparently can set things on fire, or cause fires, idk. A psychiatrist is offering to help Niki with Jessica, but it isn't working out so well. And finally, Claire's dad makes a huge mistake with Sylar. The last line killed me "How's Claire?" Not the best episode so far, but it was pretty terrific to me.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • The number plate on Hiro's fathers limosine was NCC 1701,(George Takei who played Sulu in STTOS which featured USS Enterprise NCC 1701) Edit
    • The cash that Micah dumps out of his backpack is "stage money" (fake). The bills clearly show the 20 denomination but carry the portrait of Ben Franklin from the 100. The image on the back is also from the the 100, Independence Hall not the White House as should be on the 20. Edit
    • On this episode Zack says that the Manatee is also known as the Sea Cow, which is a nickname used for all species from the Order Sirenia. This is because of the animals' diet, which mainly consists of seagrasses. There was also a recently extinct species, called the Steller's Sea Cow. The closest extant relative of this species was the dugong, with manatees being slightly more distantly related. Manatees can still be found, although - as Claire marks - they are in danger of extinction. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • The symbol that is on the sword Hiro's after and on Jessica's back is seen worn around the Haitian's neck. This symbol is also seen in many recent Heroes episodes usually in the background (e.g. in Isaac's paintings and on Suresh's list!). This may be the symbol for RNA (similar to DNA). Edit
    • The Symbol: There were no new appearances of the symbol in this episode. Edit

    • Claude: I told you not to follow me. Peter: I need help. You live up here? Claude: You're not a fast learner, eh, mate? Peter: I took care of a man who owned this building. His name was Charles Deveaux. Claude: Never heard of him. Peter: You don't think that's strange? I worked here. The place where you live and keep your birds. Claude: I don't keep anything. I let 'em out once a day, they come back. Sounds like free will to me. Peter: I need to learn how to control this. Like you do. Claude: What are you talking about? It can't be controlled. Peter: There has to be some way. If, if I don't, New York explodes. Okay? I explode. Claude: An exploding man, where'd you get that idea? Peter: My dreams. This place. I found you for a reason. I think you're the one that has to teach me how to stop this. Claude: There's no such thing. No teaching. No Sunday school for the special. What I can do, you can't learn. You wake up in the morning, it's there. If you've got thin soup, then that's your supper. Sorry, mate, that's the way it is. Peter: I'm trying not to die. There's got to be something you can do. Claude: I can kill you myself right now. Solve your exploding problem here. Maybe that's why you dreamt me. Don't bother looking for me. You won't find me here again. Edit
    • Hiro: My power is lost until I get the sword. It focused the samurai Kensei's power. It will do the same for me. Ando: But Hiro, if you have no power, how can we steal the sword? Hiro: I will find a way. That sword is my destiny. A samurai's weapon must be used with honor. And respect. This sword has many lessons to teach. Ando: Swords are for killing. That's why they're sharp. Hiro: Maybe I use the sword to kill bomb-man. Is it my destiny to kill this man? Edit

    • In a conversation with Mr. Bennet, Claire Bennet says "When I'm sixty-four..." which is a reference to the hit song by the Beatles, When I'm Sixty-Four. Edit
