The chapter before the volume finale. This works as a prologue to the next chapter and prepares us for the events of it. Maya, Sylar and Alejandro are in Virginia on their way to see Dr Suresh. At a lake, Sylar teaches Maya to control her ability without Alejandro's help and convinces her to let her brother go to live his life. Alejandro discovers that Sylar has killed his mother something which Sylar doesn't deny. Thus he earns Maya's trust who tells her brother he should go as only her and Sylar will go to Mohinder (since she can control her power now). At night time, Alejandro - realizing Sylar's plan - attacks Sylar who kills him. Maya is unaware that her brother is killed. Sylar and Maya arrive at Mohinder's appartment and Sylar makes a phonecall to Mohinder letting him know of his arrival.
Niki returns home and catches up with her son telling him that she has a virus. Meanwhile, Micah's backpack is taken by his cousin to sell the rare comic book and inside there is also DL's badge from when her rescued the little girl (seen in chapter 8: four months ago). Seeing how sad Micah's gotten, Monica decides to take the backpack back and he gets Micah's help. While there, Monica is taken by the gang members (to whom Micah's cousin gave the comic book) and Micah runs to get help. Meanwhile, Niki gets news from Mohinder that he actually has the cure for the virus (using Claire's blood).
Peter is with Adam in Montreal trying to find out what is happening. Adam reveals who created the virus - Peter saw into the future eradicating 93% of the world's population - and together they go to Maine and visit Victoria Pratt. She doesn't welcome them with open arms and she attacks Peter and then Adam when she sees Adam. Tied up, Victoria tries to convince Peter that Adam is the bad guy but Peter refuses to believe her (mainly because Adam healed his brother) and reaching into her head he finds the location of the virus, in Odessa, Texas. When Victoria manages to untie herself Adam shoots her. Meanwhile, Hiro searches his father's documents and finds a photo of Adam, Victoria and his father back in 1977. Trying to find what happen he travels back in 1977 and sees that Adam tried to release the virus, Victoria created but Kaito didn't destroy it back then thinking it was safe. Returning back in the present he goes to Odessa, Texas to destroy the virus and there he sees Peter and Adam. In the end, Peter protecting Adam defends himself against a raging Hiro.
Claire still upset over her father's death, tries to make everything she can to remove her pain. West can't help her. While scattering her father's (presumed) ashes Claire notices Elle watching her. Approaching her, Claire lets her know of her intention to tell anybody about them so they can stop hiding. Here Claire shows a more powerful side of her that we have never seen before.
Overall a very good episode. I liked how Claire became so offensive. Sylar is back to his old ways better than ever. Maya's power became cooler now. I liked how Peter's and Hiro's story connected in the most fascinating way through different perspectives. The showdown of Hiro and Peter made us guessing (back then) if one of them would die. Everything comes together in the nicest way in the next chapter which is the last of this volume. Key facts: Notice Bob's behaviour towards his daughter and compare with Noah and Claire. Also, Claire's blood brought someone back from the dead. For me it was a mistake to make her blood to have such properties because it created problems for the continuance of the plot in season 3. Regardless, the next episode is amazing. Enjoy!moreless

TRIVIA (5)
ADD TRIVIA-
Goof: It is stated that a decapitation is a permanent death for someone with a healing ability, although this contradicts Adam Monroe's statement in the episode 'Four Months Ago...' that the company were only imprisoning him because they were unable to kill him ("...if it were possible to kill me, they would have, I assure you").
-
Goof: After Peter subdues Victoria Pratt, Adam says, "Let's get her up to the house." However, his lips continue moving after he finishes speaking.
-
Goof: When Micah goes to get his dad's medal from his bag, Niki is heard saying, "We cannot waste another nanosecond." However, her lips aren't moving.
-
Goof: Inside Victoria Pratt's house is quite clearly an aluminium Apple iMac with compact aluminium keyboard, both of which were released in August 2007. However, since this episode is set in March 2007, she shouldn't have them.
-
Monica watches a Parkour video to learn the moves that helped her jump and climb walls to get into the house to recover Micah's bag.

QUOTES (18)
ADD QUOTES-
Young Kaito: You have betrayed everything we stand for. Adam: No, Kaito. I tried to save the world. Young Kaito: By releasing a virus that could kill billions of innocent people? Adam: When you've been around as long as I have, the patterns are clear. Constant war, disregard for the environment, and famine. And it's only getting worse. Someone had to make the hard choice for the greater good. Young Kaito: (to guards holding Adam) Take him down to lock-up. And throw away the key.

Peter: You didn't have to kill her. Adam: She was about to take your head off. There's no coming back from that one.
-
Claire: I've fallen 20 stories. Been stabbed in the head. Crashed a car at 70 miles an hour. I've even been on fire. But this hurts... more than any of that. And it's not getting any better. I've always gotten better no matter what, but this just keeps getting worse.
-
Claire: We can tell the world what they did. How they kidnapped me and murdered my father. Elle: You have no proof. No one would believe you. Claire: You're probably right. I guess I'm just gonna have to show them. (punches the driver's side window of Elle's car breaking it. Shows the cuts on her hand to Elle as it heals) I'll show everyone exactly what I can do. Once the secret's out, you won't be able to touch me or my family. You'll be the ones running.

She pushed a bullet out of her chest after Matt shot her...
