Heroes

Sylar bangs Matt's wife using Matt's body. That's awesome. Matt decides it's not safe for his wife and kid anymore, and tells her what's going on (more or less) and then she's all, That's cool, I'll leave, no biggie. Wow, she's understanding. Matt starts drinking, and discovers that as he gets drunk, Sylar loses control. Matt drinks until Sylar disappears, which of course is when his wife and his partner show up. (Hey, I thought she was going out of town for a while.) Once Matt sobers up (in a record 10 minutes), Sylar is there waiting for him - now he's the one in the driver's seat. I guess.

Bennet is with Jeremy (the healer/killer kid), who is being held by the cops for his parents' death. Bennet calls Tracy in to help because... she's good with teenaged boys? She talks to him, sharing that she accidentally killed someone once too. Aw, they have something in common. Also, Jeremy totally had snot coming out of his nose when he was crying. On the one hand, gross; on the other hand, yay for realism.

T Bag shows up to try to get Tracy to bring her new younger boyfriend to the carnival. Then, quite hilariously, the whole town seems to show up to protest when Jeremy's being released from police custody. Jeremy freaks out, kills a dude by accident, and runs back into the police station, because he'd rather be locked up than hurt anyone. BUT IT DOESN'T END THERE! One of the cops takes the kid out back for some vigilante-style justice, chaining him to the back of a truck and dragging him off. Tracy and Bennet find him dead in the road. Um, that's really gross. I might be offended by this. Suddenly, the Happy Carnival seems like a great idea to Tracy.

T Bag knows about the asshole cops and brings the police station to the ground. I could make a Prison Break joke here.

In even lamer news, Claire and Gretchen are "kidnapped" by their sorority and hazed. Over the course of the hazing, it's discovered that the Invisible Sorority Girl is an invisible sorority girl, and that she was trying to kill Gretchen.

But guess what -- next week we get Hiro going back in time to save Charlie. Which means we get to relive a time when the show was good - Season 1. I'm getting all nostalgic just thinking about it. It better be good.
