Best episode ever!

"Have fate and you'll get what you deserve." This is proved after you watch the 20th episode of Heroes; A series which had been deteriorating since a long time ago, and I had no hope to see it getting back to where it was in the first season. Although there were some single episodes that thrilled us sparkly, but there weren't a continuous improvement in quality of the scenarios. However, now we obviously see a great advance in recent chapters - began with chapter 15 and picked at 20th so far- where the characters having been sorted neatly and in a scheduled appearance and events are making much more sense than before. Chapter 20, cold snap is a pocketful of dramatic stories, which has been parted from one another carefully. Having revealed the big secret of Nathan, Danko is planning doing his dirty job easier then before. He decides to use Tracy as bait to find the mysterious Rebel. However, before he could do anything, Rebel has freed the prisoners. After a few minutes, Rebel's identity reveals and surprises us all. Micah, whose character had been almost forgotten, shows up and solve an important part of the puzzle. While everyone was thinking of Nathan, or Angela Pethrelli, bringing the Micah character up was a fabulous and creative idea. His ability to control every computerized system brings sense to all the messages sent to the heroes. Although hard to accept a minor character such as Micah as Rebel, it was good move introducing him into the series again.

Matt Parkman's worried for Dafney's terminal wound, takes her to the hospital and tries to ease her dramatic death. Meanwhile, we see yet powerless but determined Hiro and his friend Ando trying to save Matt Parkman whom they learn is the real Parkman's child. Soon they find out that he also got a power, which is the ability to give power to everything he touches. Here is the climax of the season we have all been expecting, when Hiro takes his power back, though not completely but it's still exciting. Mama Pethreli who originally designed the plan for offering the Rebel to Danko ,now running away from his men and being trapped in an elevator. Suddenly out of nowhere, Peter turns up and saves his mother. To conclude, The final battle of Stacy with Danko's men is actually a stunning scene which deeply affect the whole episode. The beautifully design of the cold snap scene, comes with the upsetting death of her at almost no price. The chemistry between Matt and Dafney is very right and believable, but it ends here. I think Tim Kring's team has found the right path again and are choosing their succeeding steps very carefully planned. If they go on in this way, we can expect a very thrilling and rare ending to this season; something that could finally bring back the peace between audience and the series.

Completely blew me away

This isn't just the standout episode thus far of this volume -- it's one of the standouts of the whole series. Not one but two really stunning, emotionally hard-hitting climaxes to two different story threads, both of which nearly had me in tears.

I'm trying to avoid spoilers here, so I can't get too specific, but there's a major act of heroism from a really unexpected source, and really moving, if ultimately futile, romantic gesture, and both were incredibly well done.

Also, it was cool to see that my guess as to a particular mystery individual's identity turned out to be right.

Honestly, the only flaw in this entire episode is that the opening scene involving Danko and (indirectly) Sylar was a little unconvincing. I can't quite accept that a highly trained special-ops military sociopath walks into his apartment and finds something there that he didn't put there (at the end of last episode) -- and and his response is to go in the washroom and start shaving? Unless there was a time lapse between the two during which he actually searched the place thoroughly... One can only hope.

But really, a slightly weak beginning was more than made up for by the rest of this amazing episode. If they manage to keep up this pace for the rest of the volume, it may even surpass season 1.

This hit harder than I thought

This is my second time watching heroes and I was glad that I almost forgot everything about this show, ngl I kinda hate the dramatic parts like Clair and her mom having conversations, so I usually skip to the next action, but glad I didn't skip the conversation between Matt and Daphne in Paris, the minute she said "This is a dream isn't?" blew my mind away.
