Heroes has always been a show that could leave us breathless or dissatisfied. Season one without question was the best season this show has ever done. Season two was a let down and many viewers were lost. Tim Kring promised his fans that the third season will go back to their roots.  At first he was right. The show kicked off with a bang.  Sylar got Claire’s power, we were introduced to some new villains, old characters returned, and the useless ones got shunned away. I thought Heroes was finally back on track, but I was wrong.

They weren’t consistent enough with the storyline of volume three. They flip-flopped the characters behavior, morals, actions, and attitudes.  It was a common thing every episode for a character to change his or her mind.  I will admit that volume four did a much better job improving the third volume’s flaws.  Fugitives overall was the best volume of the two. Characters were killed off and others were left a mystery.  The season finale delivered a great ending to a flip flop season. Who knew that a main character could be at risk to be killed off the show…for good!

Most of the episode followed the Petrelli family trying to stop Sylar. As we left the last episode, Sylar was about to kill Danco or at least we thought so.  Instead, Sylar framed Danco for murder and had him arrested.  He moved Nathan’s  body before Claire arrived. He did a great job convincing her that he was the true Nathan.  Claire has never been that bright anyway, so i forgive her.

Danco was put into lockup with H.R.G. H.R.G sacrificed himself for his daughter.  They came to an understanding when something strange happened. Hiro froze time and freed all the prisoners held in the building.  This came with a price however. Mohinder told Hiro that he can never use his powers again because it would kill him. He doesn’t listen and used it again to save H.R.G from Danco. Hiro passed out and was being tended to by Mohinder. It looks like Hiro will never be the same again.

Meanwhile, Sylar found his way into the president’s conference with Claire. However after a call from H.R.G., she realized how dumb she is.  Nathan finally awakes with the help of Peter. Together they come up with a plan to stop Sylar. Too bad it cost Nathan his life. His throat was slashed cold heartily, like he was nothing. Sylar didn’t say a word, he just did it. After a creepy comment he changes into Nathan and goes after the president. He kills off one of his bodyguards and marches off to his goal. He finds the president and shakes his hand.  Too bad it was Peter. Peter took some of his powers from a previous fight. Peter sticks a needle in him and Sylar goes night night.

Angela finds her dead son and goes nuts. She asks Matt Parkman to do the unthinkable. She wants him to erase Sylar’s mind and make him into Nathan! As crazy as it sounds Matt transforms Sylar into Nathan. They burn the fake Sylar’s body and forms the company. The only people who knows about this is Angela, H.R.G., and Matt Parkman. An interesting ending to a bazaar season.

This episode was good. I liked how it ended despite the overreacting. Angela made me chuckle when she gasped at her son for the last time. Sylar and Claire acted well together. Sylar always finds a way to be creepy. What will happen to Hiro next season? Why has Matt Parkman grown to be so strong? Will they found out the truth about Nathan and Sylar? I wonder if H.R.G. is thinking “Claire is going to be so mad at me.” And what is up with Ali Larter’s characters? Why can’t she just stay dead?
