OMFG! Kensei can heal
will post a synopsis as soon as i finish downloading the episode.
The Irish criminals who found Peter Petrelli shackled inside a cargo container are holding him captive. They violently interrogate him about the missing cargo (a shipment of iPods). Caitlin, the sister of Ricky, the leader of the criminal gang, tends to Peter, who is still unable to remember even his name. Caitlin explains that Ricky's failure to deliver the missing iPods will have dire consequences for Ricky. Caitlin and Peter are then astonished to find that his wounds have disappeared. Peter later frees himself from his bonds by phasing his hands through rope. He starts to escape, but when thugs searching for Ricky attack Caitlin, he uses telekinesis, a bolt of energy, and super strength to protect her. Ricky returns, and offers to trade Peter information about his past?a box that he claims holds the possessions Peter carried when found in the cargo container?in exchange for help with a theft job.
Bob, the representative of the Company who hired Mohinder Suresh, sends Mohinder on an assignment, which turns out to be a mission to heal the Haitian. The Haitian believes the virus he's contracted is a punishment from God. Mohinder persuades him to try the antivirus, which succeeds. Mohinder then mentions that he is working for "a company," and the two share a look. The scene then shifts to Bob impatiently asking Mohinder where the Haitian is, and it appears as though Mohinder's memory of the entire incident has been erased. However, Mohinder later calls Noah Bennet, who asks if his trip was productive. Mohinder explains that Noah "should have the answer to that very shortly." While still on the phone at the copy shop, Noah is approached by the Haitian, and the two men greet each other, smiling.
After hearing of Kaito Nakamura's death, Noah Bennet reveals to his wife that he is investigating a series of eight paintings that Isaac Mendez painted prior to his death, of which he was given only one. He unrolls the painting, which depicts Kaito's death. He explains that these paintings are the only ones that remain unfulfilled.
Maya and Alejandro are struggling to get across the border, and are assisted by a woman named Nidia, a family friend. At her house, an unnamed healer tells her that no one can cure her disease, and that her curse is darkenough to kill the Devil himself. Later on at nighttime, Nidia helps them cross the border. With border guards on their trail, Alejandro lets his sister go ahead of him with Nidia, but Maya begins to panic after they separate. Apparently against her will, Maya's eyes become completely black and a viscous liquid streaks down her face. Nidia watches, horrified, and then chokes and falls to the ground; her eyes are blackened, and black streaks have appeared on her face, similar to those on Maya's. As Alejandro catches up, he comforts his sister and tells her everything will be all right. After he grasps her hands, his eyes glow white, and in moments, Maya's eyes turn normal again and Nidia is revived. Relieved at seeing Nidia alive, the two siblings embrace. However, Nidia believes both of the twins are cursed, and flees.
Matt Parkman and Detective Fuller visit the roof of the Deveaux Building to investigate Kaito Nakamura's death, and learn that Angela Petrelli was present. Ando explains to Parkman that the helix symbol scrawled on the photograph of Kaito means "Godsend." Parkman and the detective interview Mrs. Petrelli, who alludes to a prior sexual relationship with Kaito. She then realizes that Parkman is reading her thoughts, and mentally demands that he get out of her head. Parkman greets Nathan Petrelli, who has arrived to post his mother's bail. As the two walk to the locked interrogation room to retrieve Mrs. Petrelli, she is apparently attacked by an unseen force. Parkman breaks in, but she is alone in the room, with blood on her face. In her hand is the picture of her with the helix symbol scrawled across it.
Molly Walker is still drawing reproductions of the helix symbol combined with a pair of menacing eyes.
Hiro Nakamura, still in Japan in 1671, impersonates his hero, Takezo Kensei, in order to correct history. He uses his power to stop time and disarms 11 bandits, rescuing the swordsmith's daughter. As they converse, she expresses her gratitude. Kensei, persuaded by Hiro's pleas?and the prospect of a relationship with the swordsmith's daughter?agrees to rescue the swordsmith, but is ambushed by the bandits Hiro earlier disarmed. Kensei appears to be killed by the bandits' arrows, but is somehow able to revive: his wounds heal while Hiro watches, amazed.
Claire Bennet, meanwhile, struggles to fit in to her new high school and avoid being noticed. Inspired by her biology teacher's lecture on the regenerative powers of lizards, she asks questions in class regarding the possibility of humans evolving to have similar abilities. West later tells Claire that she should read a book he found by "some Indian guy" (Activating Evolution, by Chandra Suresh). She argues with her father that she should be using her power to help people, for example by donating her blood, thinking that others might benefit from her regenerative powers. Curious about the limits of her abilities, she cuts off her little toe to see if it will grow back, which it does, but she discovers that West (who had been watching through her window) has seen the incident. She tries to pursue him, only to find him gone and Chandra Suresh's book lying on her driveway. The episode ends with her mother's dog, Mr. Muggles, barking at the sky.
Well I liked this episode alot better than last weeks. So what is Maya's power? She cries and whoever sees her dies???? I don't get it. I also think it was Claude who attacked Angela but how could he have killed Hiro's father? Unless he has some other powers we don't know about I don't see how he could've survived the fall. And did anyone else notice her comment when she was being interrogated by Matt about sleeping with Hiro's father? She said something like no, at least not for sometime. So I wonder if she is Hiro's mother as well? Kensei healing was definetely a shocker! He seemed surprised as well. I'm glad the Haitan was in this episode. He is one of my favorite character because of the mystery around him. My DVR cutoff near the end of the episode so I can't wait for the synopsis to see what I missed.
What really tripped me out was that the woman who had just apparently died from whatever it is Maya carries was also "cured" when he activated whatever his ability is. She looked pretty dead, but got whatever affect it was Alejandro exudes as well.
I liked this episode a little better than the last, but there is no way Claire could cut off her toe with them scissors - and who has scissors like that anymore?

A family where the man of the house ran a paper company...duh

Ok, awesome episode as usual. Maybe I'm being a little particular but I'm curious about something. Exactly when did the Irish guys find Peter's "box"? Assuming it was fairly close to him when they first found him in the warehouse, why didn't they open it immediately? Why beat the crap out of him to find out who he is when they supposedly had the information right there in the box the whole time? Again, this is going on the assumption that the box was nearby. Where else would it have been?
Maya seems to be a Poison where as her brother is the cure it seems. It was good to see Pete kickin some tail! How bout Angela mentally yelling at Parkman. Good stuff! Good to see the hatian back too . The troops are aligning!
MATT, Claire finds the book that west left her, it is Suresh's book i think. and Mr Muggles is looking up to the sky jumping and yappin, im thinkin maybe he saw west is what they are leaning towards., then the Hatian meets Noah but im not sure if that was before Claires extreme pedicure or afterwards.
Great episode I have to say, and I was wondering about how far Claire's ability can stretch. I guess that answers my question. The thing with Takezo was cool, for a minute there I was thinking that Hiro was definitely going to have to take his place, but looks like he'll be fine. Looks like super powers go way back into history, an interesting revelation for the series. I did like what Hiro did as Takezo though, it was what I was expecting, and somewhat comical.
I honestly wish this could have been the "premiere" episode, instead of last week's yawner.
I love that they've started going back to what works. Give an answer, build some tension, and give a couple more questions.
The whole reel, slack, reel, slack thing is what catches my eye. It's like fishing. You gotta make it interesting not just for yourself, but for those watching as well!
I love the idea of West filling in for Claire's missing Zack. After all, she needs a sounding board, and West will be there to make her push herself to her limits, and beyond, contrary to what daddy wants..
