HEROES

Time for this week's Heroes recap. Sorry I didn't get to this earlier this week.

This weeks was a very limited episode in the number of characters involved. But still excellent none the less.

Hiro and Ando are looking for Hope, when they find her. Unfortunately for Ando, she is a thief who locks Hiro up in a closet and Ando is led astray. I loved the way Ando kept throwing Hiro's sayings back at him. But Hiro's gut was right. This was something they should have stayed away from.
Hiro needs Ando, but at the same time, Ando gets them into more trouble.

Then the confusing one. Claire goes back to see her real mom after her step dad, HRG, figures out she was not at the Aquariame that day. She wants to meet her real dad, but her mom kind of steps between them and keeps this from happening. Telling the other they don't want to meet. Clair did get a look at him, so she knows what he looks like. I'm sure they will meet in the future.
Her mom is going to just grab the $100,000 of hush money and head back to Mexico to lay on the beach and drink. Notice how she offered Clair half of the $50K. She is a peach alright. Good riddence, and lets get Claire and Nathan together.

Dr. Suresh goes to meet a new mutant only to arrive after Sylar has already killed him and taken his power. The ability to melt items with a touch. Oh man, this guy is scary. What prison could possibly hold this guy now? And he offers to help Suresh find more mutants. Oh this just gets better and better.
But I think Suresh can sense something is wrong. He just can't put his finger on it. And unfortunately I don't think the DNA sample is going to help him either.

Finally the big story. Niki, or should I say Jessica, has struck a deal with Linderman. Who the heck is this guy? I hope they show him before the season is out.
She has become a professional hit man for him. And her target. Lindermans ex-employee. This guy picked up the 2 million from DL and then decided to keep it. He was also the one in the prison who let Nikki out of jail. Well he betrayed Linderman and stole the 2 million. He hired Matt, the cop, to be a body guard while he exchanges the money for diamonds to get out of the country.
Nikki is hired to take him out but first she has to take out Matt. Matt can read her thoughts and knows when she is about to strike. He gets behind her and makes her drop her gun. He handcuffs her to the stairwell and wants to know where Nikki is.

So did he really hear Nikki talking, or just read Nikki's mind inside of Jessica. Ugghhh, it makes my head hurt. Either way, he leaves Jessica alone to go protect his client. It didn't take long for Jessica to show up and just throw him out the window. Lucky he landed on a sign, or he was dead. When he got back in, the body was folded in half. Ouch. But they never found the diamonds.
Matt remembers his client repeating something in his mind that led Matt to the hidden diamonds. Just as he was about to turn them in, he could hear the detective saying Matt would never be a cop again.

So he pockets the diamonds and heads out. WOW!! Matt the cop turned bad guy?? Say it isn't so. This definetely crossed the line from Good to Neutral at least.

Well that was all the headlines.
Next week looks great as well.

yea decent episode.

sylar is getting pretty dang powerful...

its about time that they bring a few of the stories together. a bit too many things going on.

dont think that matt is bad or even neutral...just that he knows that his power has already cost him his job temporarily, and if he all of the sudden just 'happens' to find the diamonds that he is suspect number 1. difference between doing something bad and something stupid.

six month suspension is pretty hefty. in police work i have never heard of one so large. a month is about the max. otherwise they will just fire you. seemed a bit of a stretch there.

Well, it is TV after all. You should see me shake my head after TV ever does anything with a computer. ;-)

But remember they were ready to fire him. Then he changed his story, so he basically lied on the report given. While 6 months seems a bit hefty, maybe they needed that time for him to pursue Sylar, which I think he is about to do.
