This episode was one of the best this season. It left us with another cliffhanger that will have us wondering what will happen in the next two weeks. We finally learned The Hunter’s real name and we got to see Tracy again. Claire was useful once again and for the first time in a long time, no Peter! Things are looking up for Heroes.

It begins with Doyle in Claire’s kitchen eating popcorn. Claire is surprised to hear that Doyle was told by the rebel that she would help him. It’s too bad he didn’t get the memo. She rejects Doyle and decides to lead a normal life. She tries to get a job at the comic book store and succeeds. She also got a piece of good advice from an unknown source. He asked her what kind of hero she is. She had no response, meaning she should have helped Doyle. No worries; she comes to her senses and helps him escape the agents. She gives him a new life and walks off quite happy. Too bad Claire exposed herself trying to help him and is now on the run. I guess Doyle screwed her over after all.

John Glover as Mr. Gray, Zachary as Quinto Sylar

Nathan had a busy episode this week. He helped save Matt Parkman from being gunned downed by enemy soldiers. Nathan had the brains and Matt had the power to get out of this sticky situation. It’s a shame that Nathan ended it by knocking out Matt and taking him back in. I thought Nathan was finally growing a heart. I learned that his heart was only for himself. The Hunter, now known as Danco, has gotten wary of Nathan. With the help of Tracy, he suspects that Nathan is one of them. Nathan, however, gets him fired! Danco has the last laugh when he pushes Nathan out of a window. His power is revealed and now looks like he will become the hunted. It’s a good thing he picked up Claire cause now he needs all the family he can get.

John Glover as Mr. Gray

Sylar finally meets up with his good old dad. I bet Sylar was already for the kill until he saw the state his dad was in. His father has cancer and could die very soon. The good news though is that the father doesn’t really care. At matter of fact, he doesn’t really care about anything, not even killing his own wife. They go through some father and son bonding until his father figures out one of his son’s powers. He wants that power so bad he is willing to cut his head open to take it. Sylar is no push over and beats his dad at his own game. Sylar leaves his father alone to die in his trailer while Sylar looks for another victim.

This episode could be one of the best all season. It left us with a few cliffhangers that will keep us guessing for two weeks. Will Sylar kill Danco or will they strike some sort of deal? What will happen now to Nathan and Claire? Why wasn’t Peter on the show tonight? Do we even care? And what is up with the Matt Parkman baby? I really don’t think Hiro and Ando went on an adventure to babysit… did they?
