H.R.G. and Claire are going on with their lives. Claire is enrolled in college and is having a good time. Her new roommate is a freak of intelligence and has her whole life mapped out. Claire quickly finds a potential friend in Gretchen, played by Madeline Zima. These two seem to have some things in common and look like they will be tight friends. A little murder will always bring people together. Claire’s roommate suffered an early dismissal when Claire found her body a few stories below her room. She tells the police that a suicide was out of the question but someone else put hard work into fooling the cops. Claire decides to do a test to prove that she was right but it allowed Gretchen to find the truth about her. Next week we will know if Gretchen can be truly trusted.

Her father H.R.G. had his share of close calls. Tracy paid him a visit as Aqua woman and almost kills him. Danco saves his life and warns him about his new threat. H.R.G. got on up on him and made a deal with Tracy. He had The Haitian erase his memory and Tracy was now free. She paid Danco a visit but encountered a very unique hero. They had a nice cool battle which left Ray Park running away. I swear I saw more action in this scene than I have in Heroes‘ entire run. He kills Danco in the process and leads H.R.G to investigate. He calls Peter who has been saving many people’s lives as of late to help him out. He encounters the man and we are treated with another fight sequence! We learn that the man is after a broken compass. It seems that only those with powers can make it work. The man regains the compass and almost kills H.R.G. The only people at his hospital bed were Tracy and Peter. He still talks to Claire but his wife is with another man. I hate to say that H.R.G. is going to have a rough season.

Madeline Zima as Gretchen

Speaking of a rough season, Matt Parkman is feeling it. It seems that Sylar has infected his mind and is turning Parkman evil. I kinds like evil Parkman and I’m glad they are going this route. He has used his power to get rid of the competition and his anger surfaced multiple times. With Sylar in his head does that mean that he is going to trick him into giving him his body back? From what I’m seeing it just might happen.

Nathan is starting to realize that there is more to him that meets the eye. He tells his mother about it and she gets freaked out. She wants Matt to redo his job on Sylar but Matt tells her that’s her problem she needs to deal with. He is starting to use Sylar’s powers and it seems that soon the truth will come out. I can’t wait for this moment to occur.

Hiro and Andy are in Japan running their own business. They are saving peoples’ lives one by one. Well at least that’s their plan. The only thing that they are doing is saving cats. Hiro does have some bad news for Andy though. He tells him that he is dying and that he doesn’t know how long he has.

Dawn Olivieri as Lydia, Robert Knepper as Samuel

With everything that has gone down in the past and his in ability to control time, I can understand why.  He sends himself back in time and that’s where he meets up with this season’s villain, Samuel, played by Robert Knepper. He convinces Hiro to change the past to help out Andy’s love life. He does so with a little push and is pleased with the results. Samuel is trying to change the past for some reason and has a legion of followers that will help him rather they like it or not. Will Samuel get what he wants or will the Heroes come together again and foil his plans.

These two episodes was surprisingly good. We were introduced to fresh characters that are pretty and dirty. Peter was entertaining for once and Claire still has no purpose. Matt is getting better story lines and they found a way to get Sylar and Nathan to share a screen. Tracy won’t be useless this season and we finally get to see some fight scenes. If they keep this up maybe Heroes will finally be back on track.

Rating: 7.9

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?

This episode had Matt Parkman reunited with his family. Hiro and Ando tried to get Matt to help them break into building 26. Matt told him that its too dangerous and that he wants to do right by his son. After Hiro and Ando understands his reason and leaves them behind, he goes and sees his old wife. He begins talking to her when he realizes that they are being watched. He quickly tries to get them out of the house but realizes the truth. His wife and son have everything at home already and doesn’t need to run with him. He decides to help Hiro and Ando next week in order to keep his family safe. With his power growing, it seems possible that Matt will get his wish.

Ando and Hiro had to discover a plan to break into building 26. Hiro tells Ando that he needs to be bait so Hiro can rescue him from the inside. Ando, for the first time, stands up to him. He tells them that they should be partners and not each others sidekicks. Hiro ends up tricking Ando into being bait anyway. After the soldiers stormed in he froze time but not Ando. He lures Ando to the flying tranquilizers and unleashes time. They hit him in the chest, sending him to the floor. Hiro did rescue him however but gets found out. Ando returns the favor by helping Hiro with his new power. Once at the building, Hiro tries to freeze time but gets a huge headache. He begins to bleed from the nose and seems out of it. What does this mean for Hiro and Ando’s quest? This doesn’t sound good for them.

Sylar was the main feature of this episode. He took up most of the screen time. It begins with him waking up as an agent. He tells Danco that he can’t control this new power and that he is losing himself. Danco tells him its better to play someone else or he will have no choice but to hunt him. Sylar actually agreed but only to satisfy Danco. He beings playing games with him and the agency which puts Danco at a worry.

Sylar is having trouble keeping a grip on reality. He begins to change in and out of his mother. His inner turmoil for killing his mother is now starting to show outward. He finally comes to terms with what he did in an interesting way. The team finds rebel and surprising Sylar helps micha escape. He even took him in for awhile. Micah convinces sylar to become nathan and try to talk to the president about what is going on. Sylar does so but we don’t know what his true intentions are. Nathan returns thinking sylar is up to his old tricks. Sylar is about to kill nathan when Danco arrives and shoots Nathan in the back.  Danco tries to convince sylar to obey his lead by Sylar shows how true of a rebel he is. Danco throws a knife in the back of Sylar’s head and he drops to the floor. It doesn’t work and it looks like next week is going to be Danco’s last episode.

This episode sets up a great season finale. Will Matt help Hiro and Ando with their mission? Will Hiro even survive? Will the troops finally close in on the Petrelli family once and for all? Who dies in the finale? All these questions will be answered and more. Let’s hope they give us something to talk about.

Rating: 7.0

Milo Ventimiglia as Peter Petrelli, Cristine Rose as Angela Petrelli

This episode evolved around the Petrelli family, Mohinder, and H.R.G. H.R.G. and Claire reached common ground, finally. Mohinder was coming to terms that his father wasn’t always a saint. Mohinder is becoming useless with every episode. It is a good thing that he is taking a personal journey. Hopefully he will return with a much better storyline. Angela sister was proven to still be alive and lived in the desert for 50 years. If that’s not crazy enough she looks nothing like Angela and has a different hair color. What were they thinking casting that girl as her sister?! She doesn’t even look like someone we want to remember. Hopefully she will stay gone forever but i doubt that. The Petrelli family with H.R.G decides to take down the organization that they built. They are going to make everything so they can go back to the way things were. This is more like wishful thinking because i can’t see how they will do this. Especially with Sylar walking around like Nathan! This episode was painful to watch. The acting was garbage and the Angela having a sister storyline went straight to the toilet. The young actors that played their parts were much better than the original actors. I thought most of the young ones did a fine job other than Linderman. This episode could have been made so much better if they included a more sinister plot. I can’t wait for this series to be over. It’s like they want it to get cancelled.

Rating: 5.0

Matt Parkman was on a mission this episode. His mission was to find someone that Danko cared about and have him feel the same pain that he feels. This was a good revenge plot but one thing bugged me. How can Danko be so old but get a hot, young girlfriend? His job wasn’t exciting enough to bag a chick like that.  But anyway, Matt Parkman was out to get him. He made him believe that his girl was in danger. This was a lie to get him to go see her so Matt could know who to attack. This planned worked very well. He lead the girl to Danko’s apartment and made him confuse to all of his lies. Once Matt won the battle, he could not pull the trigger on Danko’s girlfriend. Luckily Hiro showed up in the nick of time before Danko could get revenge. Hiro gave Matt something he could never forget! His baby!

Greg Grunberg as Matt Parkman

Danko was a busy person this week. He was in almost all of the major story lines. He and Sylar were working together to bring down Bennett. Sylar was really bringing it to him. He pretended to be his wife and delivered divorce papers to his doorstep. That would kill any man who was trying to keep his family together. Bennett is no dummy and figured out what was up. Too bad Sylar was messing with his head. Bennett went stone cold with his wife that ended their relationship. Because of this, Bennett was out for blood. He shot Sylar right in the back when he found out the truth. No one believed him though and now Bennett is on the run with the rest of them. What does this mean for all the heroes now that no one is in the inside?

Hiro and Ando were having one fun adventure. Most of it was trying to get baby Matt Parkman to his father. Hiro and Ando are Heroes‘ strongest part. They are funny and are well portrayed. Most importantly, they have great chemistry together.

Claire and Nathan had very limited roles in this episode. Other than digging up some corpses, they were pretty much useless. Mohinder was the filler for this episode and it seems as though they don’t know what to do with him. Maybe it’s time for Mohinder to hit the road!

This episode was very good. Much better than their earlier episodes. It looks as though Heroes has finally got back on track. The past is about to be revealed and it looks like the present is repeating the past. Did Angela have her sister killed or is her sister even died?

Rating: 7.0

Claire and Nathan found themselves in a very odd place. Nathan took her to the land of the runaways… Mexico. There they are safe from Nathan’s own junction. They are tight for cash and is looking quite whipped. Nathan is rocking a pretty nasty beard that makes him look like that he has a drinking problem. In order to survive they had no choice but to pawn their most cherished items. Nathan gets sick of struggling and challenges some young men to a fun game of drinking. The one who can drink the most without passing out wins. Nathan of course loses but Claire picks up where he can’t finish. Due to her healing ability Claire is unable to get drunk and wins the money back. Nathan tells her that he has a plan to fix everything but when he sobered up he realized it was just wishful thinking. He tells Claire that he no longer has any power and is now a fugitive like her. What is next for the father and daughter? Only time will tell.

Milo Ventimiglia as Peter Petrelli, Cristine Rose as Angela Petrelli

Peter and Angela had an interesting episode. They both went to church. They each had to make their own peace with the man upstairs. They know that the end is near and they are looking for some hope and maybe guidance to steer them in the right direction. Before they can catch the holy spirit, the soldiers arrive. Peter hides Angela in one of the confessionals. It’s there that Angela reveals her true feelings to Peter. For the first time we finally get to see where she is really coming from. H.R.G finds them but tells the soldiers that he lost them. It looks like H.R.G is still on her side. I can only wonder how her sister is going to react them to her taking Peter to her sister. It should be some entertaining stuff.

Sylar and the hunter had the best storyline this episode. Sylar wants to be partners with the hunter so he can get some new powers. The hunter had no choice but to listen to him. He needed his help to catch a shape shifter. Sylar was able to school the hunter on his hunting tactics. Sylar helps the hunter find him and does a great job at being a team player.  A partnership is born and Sylar adds a new power to his arsenal. I’m glad that they are partnered up because they have chemistry together. You could feel the tension between the two in the beginning. Through out their scenes together you could feel the chemistry grow. Seeing them on screen together should equal to some quality television.

I enjoyed this episode a lot. The acting was good and i enjoyed the pairing of Sylar and the hunter. Claire was even worth watching this time around. Lets hope next week we get to see Ando, Hiro and Matt Parkman. I’m wondering where his character is going to go now that Daphne has died.

Rating: 7.0

Hiro and Ando had a lot of fun with baby Matt Parkman. We find out that the baby has a power. He can turn things on and off. It’s a quite amusing power that can annoy many people. It can also turn people’s powers on when they are lost… at least for the most part. When the soldiers came a knocking, Hiro and Ando were in a fight for their lives. The baby turned Hiro’s powers on in just the nick of time. Hiro was thrilled to finally regain his power. Too bad he couldn’t regain teleportation as well. He had to wheel Ando around for 12 miles to their new destination. Now with the baby in their grasp what is next for Hiro and Ando? Let’s hope it’s something fun.

Greg Grunberg as Matt Parkman

Angela Petrelli, however, had no fun this episode. For the first time in a long time, she became the hunted. She dreamt of the future a few moments before it happened. She was able to escape before they could get a hand on her. She proved to one smooth lady by tricking a man into helping her hide. She seems to have rich friends in high places as well. She was able to guilt trip an old friend into giving her some money to get away. Angela didn’t have a chance to use it though. The soldiers were right on her tail. She was able to escape in an elevator but it was quickly called back down. I thought it was the end for her but her son Peter came to her rescue. He took her to the American symbol of freedom and is now hiding out there. Now that the Petrelli family are all on the same page, what will they do to stop the madness? Let’s hope it’s something exciting.

Matt Parkman was able to escape his prison with Mohinder and Daphne. He was awaken by a fleeting Tracy who isn’t much a team player. They separate and Matt and Mohinder take Daphne to a hospital. Matt uses his powers to persuade the doctor not tell call the police. He also manged to stay by her side over night. Matt put images into her head that made her think that she was going to live. Matt showed how much he truly loved Daphne. He just couldn’t get her there on time. Daphne died in her hospital bed with Matt holding her hand. It was one of the cheesiest but yet saddest moments I have ever seen on television. They are really giving Matt a reason to be a Hero again and I’m glad to see it.

Tracy after her escaped was found by H.R.G. He gave her an offer that she couldn’t refuse. She had to lead them to the rebel and she will be able to run away freely. She took the offer not realizing that it was a grown teenage Micah behind the rebel costume. He was generally hurt when he found out the true Tracy. She did make it up to him big time though. She sacrificed herself to save him from being caught. She turned the whole room into ice and froze mostly everyone including herself. The hunter walked right up to her and shot her in the chest, making her into little tiny pieces. She truly died with a bang… or did she?

This episode was one of the best all season. It had two great deaths that fit well within the current storyline. The hunter got a gift from Sylar that made him very happy and Doyle just another victim. It looks like Sylar will team up with him to get a few more powers. Nathan and Claire were nowhere in sight and it was a good thing. This episode proves that we really don’t need Claire or Nathan around. Next week looks interesting and i hope it can deliver the goods again.

Adrian Pasdar as Nathan Petrelli

Meanwhile, Claire was thinking the same thing but her father returned in surprise faction. He was sent to her by the company to keep her mouth shut. It looks like he made a deal with them that will keep his family safe. Claire was so happy that he was alive and that it was her blood that did the deed. If her blood can do that, then I truly doubt that they will be left alone but with Bob who knows. Speaking of being safe, it doesn’t look to good for Mohinder. Sylar is threatening him about Molly to keep him inline. Molly helps Maya pinpoint her brother and she finds out that he is dead. She puts two and two together and realizes that Sylar killed her brother. She lets the cat out the bag about Sylar not having his power and Mohinder jumps on him the first chance he gets. He has some help though from Elle who is trying to prove her worth to her father but fails again. Sylar escapes with the serum that Mohinder made for him and now he has his powers back! What will happen now that he has his powers intact? Only Tim Kring knows.

Over in LALA land AKA New Orleans Niki was enlisted by her son to help out Monica. She is in a tough situation since she is about to be put on fire. Niki, in her weakened state, comes and saves the day but not herself. When everyone evacuates the burning building she is left alone trying to escape. The building blows up before she could remove herself. Is she really dead or are they going to pull another Jesus awaking! I really hope not. Hiro was able to get his revenge on Adam by sending him to his grave! Hiro didn’t kill him all he did was bury him alive. I have to say I was surprised by this because I didn’t think Hiro had it in him. I liked this ending because it showed creativity, something that has been lacking all season long.

Zachary Quinto as Sylar

This concludes a very boring season that can only be described as average. I hope that next season we can have better actors and better storylines. This season finale was able to make me care about two things. Will Nathan survive and who shot him in the first place. This should be enough to get the viewers back but they better pull a rabbit out of the hat to keep their interests. Heroes is a great show, it just had a bad season.

Rating: 6.0

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?

Rating: 8.0

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!
