It's been two weeks in TV time since the last episode as we open with Peter in a hospital bed. Watching him rest are his brother Nathan and their mom. Simone comes by and brings flowers. Claire is in the kitchen with her father pretending to have little memory of the day her former cheerleader friend Jackie was killed. Back at school, she encounters Zack and tries to refresh his memory of their unique friendship but Zack has no recall. Niki has had a hard time in jail, especially whenever Jessica appears as D.L. and son Micah try to cope without her. Mohinder finds out Eden was once known as Sara Issacs and that her dead body is somewhere in Canada. Matt and his partner try to infiltrate Horn-Rimmed Glasses' workplace in order to find Syler but all they find is paper. And Hiro and Ando are in the Mueseum of Natural History in New York as Hiro discovers a sword of a Japanese legend and attempts to take it in order to get full powers back. Meanwhile, Peter has dreams of destroying New York and gets out of the hospital to find a man from those dreams who claims to be invisible. Nathan and Simone later go to Issac's apartment where they find Issac who tells Simone he's now clean and that he's still in love with her. Hiro and Ando arrive at this time and mention while they have the sword, it's a fake and someone named Linderman has the real one...What I've just mentioned are mainly set-ups for many exciting encounters that will happen in future episodes. Nice scenes between Claire and Zack as they reenact his filming her stunt from the pilot episode. Funny use of Hiro in using his reduced powers during the sword-taking scene. Also humorous was Matt's telling his wife about his mind-reading abilities. Touching scene of Niki and her son before Jessica took over and got herself abducted by the guards. And interesting scenes between HRG and Mohinder about a possible, if reluctant on Mohinder's part, team-up. Lots to think about before the next episode. And I'll be waiting with bated breath...

first heroes episode of 2007!
amacmillen15 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
WOW. This is amazing. I cannot believe how well the show picks back up after the huge cliffhanger ending in 'Fallout,' back in 2006. It all seems so long ago now...
I was fortunate enough to pick up this episode the week before it aired using some special redemption coupon my boss gave me (no, I don't know where she got them). Needless to say, I jumped at the chance to see the newest episode of Heroes before it aired, and I can honestly say, it did not disappoint.
There were several cliffhanger endings at the end of Fallout: 1) Eden killed herself in order to prevent Sylar from getting her powers. 2) The Haitian appears in Claire's home, seemingly to make her forget about her powers, but instead explains that he has a secret to divulge. 3) Isaac painted Hiro fighting a dinosaur with what looks like a samurai sword, and Ando says plainly, "You're gonna die!" 4) After attacking DL and injuring Micah, Niki realizes that she can't be trusted if Jessica can still take over her body, so she turns herself in to the police. 5) Possibly most pressingly, Peter has a premonition in which he wakes up to a completely empty New York - empty of everyone except the heroes. Once he reawakens from the dream, he realizes that HE is the cause of the bomb...
And now, Heroes resumes...
I have to say, they really get right back into things in this episode. I'm not going to give away anything here (I marked spoiler warning just in case), but 2007's new tagline, "Are you on the list?" now has as much relevance as "Save the cheerleader, save the world," did in the fall. It's going to be an amazing season from here on out. Buckle up, and you won't be disappointed.

Chapter Twelve 'Godsend'
Prismark109 April 2021
Look who's back. With Peter Petrelli seriously ill in hospital. They certainly needed a doctor.
Nathan disbelieves that people can be so intrinsically connected.
Only to discover that Hiro who saw him fly in Nevada walks into Isaac Mendez's studio.
The connections between people and events are getting more closer. It is a big pull and the name Lindeman keeps getting mentioned.
I think Claire Bennet shooting another video of her getting injured after her supposed memory wipe might be a mistake.
It is nice to see some character growth. Mr Bennet now sees that the people having powers might not be so bothersome after all.
