This episode gears us up for the season finale. Adam and Peter are out to find the virus. Their only lead is to Victoria Pratt, played by Joanna Cassidy. They find her but Adam refuses to go up to the door for obvious reasons. He enlists Peter to do it. Peter, like the true follower that he is, does so without protest. They have a few words and before you know it she gives up the goods. I thought that was too easy and it was. She only did it to see if he was working for someone and when she figured out it was Adam, she was ready to kill. She was overcome and tied up into her home and was forced to admit where the virus really was. Adam unties her and she quickly goes for the gun only to get her head shot off! I hope Peter is just playing along and isn’t this dumb. Adam leaves his mark and on the way they go.

They end up in the paper factory only to be greeted by Hiro. Hiro and Peter are about to have a showdown but the credits roll. Let’s hope Peter knocks out Hiro. He needs some action anyway after traveling in the past to see what Adam was up to. He has a lot of built up frustration and no skill on how to use it. Knock him out, Peter, but please don’t kill him.

Milo Ventimiglia as Peter Petrelli

Niki, Micah, and Monica are having their own problems as well. Micah’s cousin got jumped and beat up by some thugs and in the process got Micah’s most prized possessions stolen. His comic books and his dad’s medal are no longer his. Monica offers her services to help him by breaking in and taking back everything. She does that but the thugs return and catch her. They drag her to the car and smack her around while Micah watches from the bushes. I wonder how they are going to get her out of this.

Niki receives some good news from Mohinder and is delighted. She goes to tell Micah the good news but he is nowhere to be found. It looks like she is on her way to save them but this looks like it could end badly.

Maya is able to control her powers with the help of Sylar. Maya seems to have now falling in love with Sylar and has no doubt that he is an angel. Her brother on the other hand used the internet to gather proof about Sylar. He was able to find an article about him killing his mother but Sylar gave a pretty good reason why he did it. Maya bought hook line and sinker but her brother didn’t. He walks out only to return and beat up Sylar. This time Sylar was ready and stabs him with a knife repeatedly. Maya knocks on the door and sees Sylar all wet and looking hot. She ends up making out with him while he closes the door completely to avoid seeing her brother’s body. I’m hoping he kills her next! They do find their way to New York however and Sylar informs Mohinder that he has Molly and a new test subject for him. It looks like dirt is about to hit the fan.

Speaking of Mohinder, he helped H.R.G. survive by injecting him with his daughters blood. He also told him that he is now a prisoner of the company! H.R.G. didn’t like that. It’s okay though Mohinder hasn’t gone completely bad. He wants Bob to destroy all the strains of the virus and it looks like Bob will do it. I do believe he has something up his sleeve and it will present itself on the season finale… I hope.

Claire is having a rough time getting over her father’s death especially after Bob shows up with his ashes. She wanted the Haitian to return and take away her memory of ever having a father but West talks her out of it. She dumps his ashes out on the beach over the ocean. She spots Elle and tells her that she is going to tell the world and that her family will be left alone for good because she will be the one running. If she truly believes that then I know she is definitely a dumb blonde!

This episode was a weak attempt to get us to watch the season finale. They just didn’t have enough steam for this season for anyone to really care. As a loyal fan I can’t wait for this season to be over so they can start over from scratch. This season was put together so poorly I don’t think it can come back from it. I hope that this season finale can save face for the season if not then its bye bye Heroes!
