Heroes Episode Two: The Butterfly Effect

Claire is recovering from Sylar's attack - and now she doesn't feel any pain when she's injured. She's freaked out by that, says she doesn't feel human anymore. So she wants to let herself get hit by a train. Peter teleports in and pulls her off the track. Some blabbing about how Sylar wasn't supposed to take her power.

Maya comes over to Mohinder's lab where he's busy hanging from the ceiling, going power-crazy and acting a bit like Spider-Man. He's all hopped-up on powers -- and horny, screwing Maya six ways to Sunday in his lab. I don't like Maya. But I don't mind a sweaty, shirtless Mohinder making out with someone. It's still hot hot hot. Sorry. When he wakes up, it's like a bad hangover, except that his skin on his shoulder is coming off like The Fly or something. That's what happens when you experiment on yourself, jackass!!!

Matt is in the African desert and is rescued by a dude. A funny dude, whom I like very much. Now they're "spirit walking" and the guy knows Matt's name. He's a future painter, like Isaac. But in Africa.

Sylar is stalking through a neighborhood, beating up the Company agents sent to capture him. He also finds his way to the Company facility and kills Bob. Elle finds her Dad's body and is PISSED. Poor Elle. She tosses Bennet a gun and asks for his help. He shoots Sylar a million times, but of course that doesn't much matter. "Ouch" he says. LOL. He tries to kill Elle but she gives off a huge electrical field in defense.

Villains start escaping Level 5 as Elle comes to. I guess Sylar was weakened enough to capture because he's strapped to a table, held by Angela in the Company facility. She sends Elle away, saying they don't need her anymore now that Daddy's dead. Angela is a deliciously cold-hearted bitch! Angela enters Sylar's cell -- and tells Sylar she's his mother. Gabriel Petrelli y'all!

Hiro tracks down Daphne, taking Ando with him. Plants a tracking device on her, and the hunt begins.

The Governor, at the urging of Tracy, appoints Nathan to an empty Senate office. Nathan's all confused about who Tracy really is, thinking she's Niki (like we all do). He wants Tracy on his staff. The Greatest American Hero (really) is a reporter blackmailing Tracy, claiming to have evidence she worked in internet porn and banged Nathan (as Niki). Could I use more parentheses? (Yes.) She flips out and turns the man to ice and he shatters into little bits. Greatest American Hero no more.

Peter reveals to Nathan that he's from the future, that he's the one who shot him. Then he teleports away to Level 5. He wanted to get Peter (who is hidden in that bald guy's body), but of course he has escaped. With Marlo from The Wire. Sweet!

Nathan keeps having conversations with Linderman, who I guessed was a figment of his imagination - right before it was revealed. Cool.

Bennet comes back home, having escaped himself I guess. He goes over the list of escapees with Claire. To let the audience know how badass they are. We're in trouble. Bennet has to stop them. Sweet! He brings Claire's real, Fire!Mommy to take care of the family while he's gone.

The previews for the season looked great. I am just eating this show up. It's back to being interesting, I like just about everyone again. It's all sunshine and roses in Heroes town!
