Warning: Spoilers
When we last saw Claire with her mom, Mrs. Bennett had lost all memory. Claire leaves to get her younger brother and finds her mom get her memory back. A few minutes later, however, Mrs. Bennett collapses. The agent that frees Hiro pulls a gun on him. Seems he wants a piece of the showgirl's action. The showgirl and Ando stop which is when Ando discovers her riches and gets a gun pulled on him. Matt gives his wife the diamond ring he took from the dead guy he guarded. Wife calls to get ring extended and finds out about the stolen merchandise. Matt's about to turn them in when he gets a call from Ted (the guy who can set fire on himself) and his new female partner who can use her mind to type on the internet. Mohinder and Syler, who the former still thinks is the guy he was looking for last week, find Dale, a mechanic who can can hear sounds a hundred miles or so away. She plays rap music on her walkman to keep the loud sounds from bothering her. Mohinder and Syler offer to help the next day but she turns up dead by then. Syler had murdered her the previous night and now finds himself overwhelmed with her power. Issac asks HRG to help find Peter with Simone doing the same with Issac and Nathan. Peter and Claude are doing painful test battles when HRG and the Haitian man find them. At this point Peter confidently uses his powers that he's encountered over the last few months and flies himself and Claude out of the pursuers way. HRG gets a phone call from Claire to come home because of his wife's condition. As the showgirl and the agent battle it out, Hiro and Ando run to a bus luggage cabin and apologize to each other. Just as the showgirl is about to shoot them, Hiro regains his powers and prevents the bullet from hitting them. He then leaves Ando to his car as he takes the next bus. Claire lashes out at her father for all the deception he's done. After the Bennetts arrive home, they are held up by Matt, Ted, and the Internet girl (sorry, don't know her name yet). Peter confronts Issac about his telling HRG about his whereabouts and destroys his paintings while turning invisible. Issac uses the gun given him by HRG and shoots at wherever invisible Peter strikes but he ends up shooting Simone who Peter had tried to protect by making her invisible too. They both look on at Simone's dead body...Wow, more action packed than the previous few episodes. Loved seeing Marvel honcho Stan Lee as the bus driver Hiro encounters. Claire's father sure got what he deserved from his daughter but what's he going to do now that he knows what she knows? When will Mohinder find out about Sylar? Will Peter and Issac reluctantly team up? And where is Hiro going? Hope the next episode turns out to be more exciting. Until next time...
