recap: heroes "the hard part"


*spoiler alert: do not read if you have not watched the 5.20.07 episode*

at the start of the episode, hiro and ando find themselves back in their own time and realize it's time for them to "save the world" (YAY!). hiro turns to the comic book for answers, but it is incomplete. they decide to head to isaac's apartment for answers.

meanwhile, our little claire bear is back at the petrelli mansion when nathan's wife and two sons return home. i have no idea where his family has been this whole time. especially days before the election. but whatever.

parkman, mr. bennett, and ted are still on the run. still on their way to new york city. yawn.

back in vegas, DL decides to go look for micah. he asks niki/jessica/whatsherface to come with him. while that snoozefest is going on, we see micah in a nyc apartment with candice who is disguised as his mom.

thompson (eric roberts!) offers surresh a job. but surresh is smart and realizes they need him more than he needs them. eric roberts (yes, i'm calling him that from now on) agrees and shows surresh where he works. eric roberts introduces surresh to molly, whos is apparently the only girl in the world (seriously?) that can stop sylar. she's dying and surresh is the only person that can find a cure (how convenient).

back at isaac's loft, hiro and ando find isaac dead. they see sylar. sylar hears them with his supersonic hearing. hiro and ando teleport out of there in the nick of time without a trace.

DL and niki. zzzzzzzzz. suspect micah's in nyc. zzzzzzzz. go to ny to find him. zzzzzzzz.

surresh talks to little molly and takes a blood sample. tries to figure out how to come up with a cure.

back at the petrelli mansion, claire talks to nathan about ted...the guy who blew up her house and who she suspects will blow up nyc. nathan tells her he admires her bravery and tells her he'll make some calls. and he does...to mr. linderman!

sylar goes to queens to visit his mom who is clearly a little off. we learn that his mom always pushed him to do more with his life and that what he did was never good enough. it's like betty crocker's recipe for a serial killer. seriously.

claire and peter see nathan talking to eric roberts. claire doesn't trust him.

micah discovers his "mom" isn't really his mom. next.

sylar demonstrates one of his abilities for his mom a la turning water into snow. very edward scissorhands. she freaks (duh). hiro freezes time and tries to kill sylar. he fails. sylar breaks hiro's sword in halfsies. sylar scissorhands kills his mom...with scissors (again, duh). makes a painting from her mom's blood (creepshow!).

surresh figures out he is the key to molly's antibody. cute.

peter gives claire a gun and asks her to kill him if she ever sees he's the one to blow up nyc (too bad they're related, they are too cute).

grandma petrelli totally creeps me out and tells peter he has to let nyc blow up. borderline incestuous undertones.


peter and claire run into mr. bennett, ted, and parkman. while standing close to ted, peter starts absorbing his power and sees his hands glow. he freaks out. the end.

questions:
1) what is grandma petrelli's secret power? i know that bitch is hiding it.
2) why doesn't peter just stand away from ted? i mean, whenever he was far away from invisible man, he couldn't turn invisible. sounds like an easy solution.
3) why is niki/jessica/micah/DL still a storyline? and can we kill them off next season if it doesn't happen before then?
4) is linderman nathan & peter's dad? (thanks to adam winer for that one)
5) how the hell is hiro gonna save the world now with a broken sword???
