For all of Samuel’s plotting and scheming and equivocating and manipulating and terrakinetic razing and brother-killing and Lydia-prostituting and… I’ve lost track of what other shit he's done.
OH. MY. GOD.
What have those hair and make-up people done to her?
There must be some explanation. Like, an encounter with a TK-powered super who was bitter at the way Matt hopped back into bed with Janice and promptly forgot about you-know-who. Or something Sylar put into motion while impersonating Matt, just to make things that much more unbearable for him, like, “Honey, you’re SO hot, I just wish you’d cut off your hair so I could appreciate your slender neck and nibble your succulent earlobes.”
Apparently Peter feels the same way, because his first instinct is to visit Emma, pick up her cello…
… and ensure that what he saw can’t happen.
Which incurs the distress of the woman he cares about, but which also puts Peter in a position to compete with Matt for the smartest character of the episode. The difference is that Peter earns his credit through proactively preventing a catastrophe, whereas Matt’s approach is to withdraw and hope catastrophes won’t find him. Both characters appear to have learned from their mistakes, however, with Peter apparently deciding that sometimes quick and decisive action trumps lengthy contemplation or careful observation.
What is Claire late for, when she avoid Noah??
A make-out session with Gretchen
A make-out session with Sylar (whoops, SPOILER! This will make more sense next week...)
A Guitar Hero tournament
A cooking class where everyone learns how to make ratatouille
None of the above: Sylar's in the room with Claire, which is why Claire doesn't invite Noah in and why she tries to get rid of him so quickly
None of the above: that's not Claire -- it's Sylar, and he's shapeshifted into Claire
Well, at least Noah’s happy to see her. He knows where this scene is going as much as we do. And although Noah kisses her, and although it seems to be played as a romantic moment, I can’t help seeing it as Lauren taking advantage of Noah’s despair the moment he hit rock bottom. The implication is that she earned his love through loyalty, when in fact it’s really just that she hung around long enough to catch him when he was single, and that she was ready and waiting to usurp Sandra’s ex-husband — who, as we know, she’d been interested in all along, and who, as we know, is at this particular moment INTOXICATED.
What the heck. It’s romantic enough for Lauren. Brace yourself, folks.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! I can’t look! Avert your eyes! It’s… It’s too horrible to witness!
THANK YOU, HIRO! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Whatever criticism I may have heaped on you in the past — and I realize that that’s not an inconsiderable amount — I take it all back! You’ve rescued us from the horror of… the LAUROAH!
5th Stage
Peter: “I wanna make a deal. I’ll let up, I’ll let you heal, but you give me Nathan. You give him back to me, body and soul.”
Oh, Peter. Oh, Peter. I know you’re blind with grief so I’m going to spare you a Dumb As Hiro Award, but I SHOULDN’T. Think, Peter. He can shapeshift into Nathan! He can smile at you and say it’s Nathan in there, and then he can slice your dumb scalp open!
Which part of the frog's story is Claire most likely to have left out?
The part where the frog repeatedly told Dad that she hated him
The part where the frog decked another frog and gave her a black eye
The part where the frog (kinda, sorta) caused its parents' divorce
The part where the frog's grandma disappeared in a tornado, and instead of searching for her, the frog started talking about movie night
The part where the frog became a badass gun-toting mercenary
Sylathan: “You’re going to have to carry on for the both of us, Pete. OK? You tell Mom I love her. You take care of Claire.”
… And Simon?
… And Monty?
… And Heidi?
… No?
OK then…
Strange Attractors
Claire: “Gretch, you’re the first real friend I’ve had since I left Texas.”
Sorry, West!
Sylar recognizes Tracy as the one he “helped” back in the day. I find it amusing that he latches onto that part of their relationship instead of the part where he slept with her, fired her, captured her, double-crossed her and tortured her, but if Sylar wants to focus on the happy memories, who can blame him
I just need to clarify: we’re watching one of the show’s main characters get drunk in order to… make the ghost of another character who’s stuck inside his head disappear? And… that’s after the ghost took control of his captive’s body to… have sex with his captive’s wife? And now that character is challenging the ghost to stop him from drinking beer?
What would be an even more ridiculous way for Matt to get rid of Sylar?
Hitting himself over the head repeatedly with a mallet
Getting stoned
Standing on his head for an hour
Dancing until he spontaneously combusts
Forcing Sylar to rewatch Season Two
Ghost-Sylar becomes Ghost-Sylar-controlling-Matt’s-body-with-Ghost-Matt-inside-Matt’s-head. Janice looks worried, but before long, you can bet she’ll be berating Matt for “always doing this” and “blowing everything after 15 years of marriage.”

A slightly awful one
He's grieving, and desparate
