Somehow I'm getting sick again. WTH? So there's no way I can endure 2 hours of Heroes, not when I need to be in bed by 9:00. The second episode will wait until tomorrow.
Claire's working at the Carnival now - picking up trash and bringing T-Bag his pancakes. The Multiplier Guy is creeping her out. OK, we get it, he stares at her funny. Enough! She's being all nosy, trying to get into T Bag's trailer, where he's poking through a Primatech Paper box. The Puppet Master catches her and pulls her out of there, asking what she's doing, and throwing her against the trailer. Oh. I thought they were new BFFs. Nice way to treat your friends.
Through some superb deductive powers that would put Sherlock Holmes to shame, Claire figures out who Joseph is and that T Bag killed him. And now she knows that he's evil and needs to be stopped! The dialogue between them makes me want to throw up. They really just shoehorn all of this crap in. I guess that's what happens when you write yourself into a million corners.
Hiro pops into Japan and talks a bunch of nonsense about Star Wars, Highlander, Battlestar Galactica, and Don Quixote. What did he become? Irrelevant Pop Culture Reference Man?
Luckily, Hiro still has his business card on him, and so the police contact Ando. He explains it easily enough - Hiro has a brain tumor. Ando figures out that Hiro is kind of speaking in code, and when he talks about rescuing Dr. Watson from a castle, he means going after Mohinder in a psychiatric hospital in Florida. OK.
We get a random black and white flashback to Young T Bag, pining after a girl named Vanessa.
Deaf Girl is back, and she's been rejected from medical school. How sad. I don't care. T Bag shows up at her apartment all, "I'm the one who sent you the cello." Oh - the wall-cracking cello? Thanks. Take it back. T Bag asks for Deaf Girl's help in finding a dude who can grow flowers and plants - I'll call him Mr. Green Thumbs. It seems she can summon people with the power of her cello - by thinking about them and playing in the park. OK. Weird.
T Bag wants Mr. Green Thumbs to - I'm guessing here - make the land near the Carnival inhabitable. Dude, plant some sod and have patience like the rest of us. Or for Christ's sake - plenty of people live in a desert, just live there. Instead, Mr. Green Thumbs offers up grass and flowers on the desert soil. So, um, all your problems are solved then? Huh? Claire is impressed by the greenery, but still decides to go home. Right - school's starting back up.
Nathan's death is being reported on the news as part of a single-passenger plane crash. Claire finally checks her emails with all these messages from her dad and Peter. The funeral begins. Oh finally the show gets interesting. And now I'm off to bed. To be continued....

You know I loved both episodes last night, but here are my issues....
1. I hate Deaf Girl. And WTF is her power, exactly?
2. Does Samuel really think that no one will notice and be suspicious of a bunch of grass and flowers and shit growing in the desert?
3. Hiro needs to just go ahead and die already. There are about a bazillion loose ends that need to be tied up before the series can end (Nathan for real dying was a good start). Hiro needs to die so Ando and Hiro's sister can live happily ever after in Japan. Mohinder needs to, I don't know. Staying dead/gone would probably be the "neatest" way to tie that up. And, speaking of loose ends, WTF ever happened with Tracey? Wasn't she headed for the carnival?
LOL, you're my favorite Heroes Kool-Aid drinker. All those things that are your "issues" are the only damned things they ever put on the show!!! They bury the good parts in all of that loose-end nonsense. Let's just kill off everyone you mentioned and start fresh. :)
