This episode was better than I expected. Most of the episode had good moments and none of their storylines ended up boring. Nathan is chained up like a prisoner when the Haitian’s brother walks in. He still believes that he is a god and that no one can harm him. Well he gets a rude awaking when Peter and his brother show up and knocks him into Neverland. The Haitian had a choice to either kill his brother or let him live. At that point he chooses family first. After he knocks his brother out, he takes Peter and frees Nathan. They are about to make a run for it but Peter had a great idea. He stayed behind so that the other two can escape. He says that they are more important than he is and that they need to get back to America. That may be true but him trying to be a hero without his powers is like Alvin the Chipmunk trying to sing without his chipmunk voice. Nathan does come to his brother’s rescue while the Haitian had to kill his! I thought that after what Nathan has been through that he would stay with the good side. I thought wrong because he did the exact opposite. He has joined the villain side. What does this mean for the rest of the world? Only the next episode can tell.

Milo Ventimiglia as Peter Petrelli

Hiro on the other hand was having the best day ever. He was hanging with a two comic book lovers that had every issue of the 9^th wonders. Hiro looked through every issue and found some disturbing news. I had to relive the loss of his father, the loss of Charlie, and him having to kill Sylar. He ran in the bathroom screaming he never wants to grow up. Andy convinces him to come out and be the hero he was meant to be. He finds another comic that gave him the answer to get his memory back. He leaves abruptly leaving behind Matt and Ando. Where he ends up left me rolling on the floor with laughter.

He realizes this is his only chance to kill Sylar and tracks them down. Sylar is doing all he can to protect Elle from H.R.G. He even sacrificed himself for her! H.R.G catches up to them and is able to slit Sylar’s throat! H.R.G. returns home after a job well done to see Claire lying in her bed. She tells him that she died and came back to life. H.R.G. realizes if Claire regained her powers after death then so has Sylar. He tries to get his family out of harms way but it’s too late. Sylar and Elle show up ready to end the feud. Hiro pops out of nowhere and sends Elle and Sylar to the beach. Hiro also takes Claire to the past to see their parents exchange babies.

Mohinder is still at the lab looking for a cure. He tells Arthur that he can’t help him but Arthur isn’t trying to hear that. He tells Flint to give him an incentive to complete his work and Flint does. He torches him with a lighter to get his point across. Mohinder gets him back though because later on in the episode he beats Flint into a coma. He did this to get away and see Maya. Once the eclipse was over, his power returned and so did his transformation. He leaves before she can get a glance at him. He returns back to Arthur accepting his fate.

He wasn’t the only one that stopped kidding themselves. Sylar also returned back to his old self by killing Elle on the beach. He claims that no one really changes and that this is how he needs to be. I’m sorry but everything was going great up until that point. After all the things he did to and for Elle, he is just going to kill her like that? I don’t get it. Why waste the time of bringing them together only to have him kill her cold heartedly?

This turn of events brought they score down just a tad. This episode was good to watch and it is one of the better ones for the third season. I just hope they quit doing all these unnecessary plot twists. They are starting to make no sense.
