The Line

Well, I wanted to see Hiro, and see him I did. I watched every second right up until Kensei hit him over the head, when he turned bad guy and went to play with the other team. That’s getting a little ahead, let me back up. After they freed her father, Yaeko and Hiro, about to be shot by White Beard’s men, were teleported (via Hiro) to safety. She then figured out that it was Hiro all along who had saved the day, and they share a sweet, and rather comical kiss. Kensei saw them, and this is where the scroll, which Ando is reading in present day, ended. Kensei confronted Hiro about the kiss, and Hiro explained that he and Yaeko “accidentally” fell in love. They decided to go ahead and destroy the guns that White Beard has made, and the next thing you know, Yaeko and her father are being taken by White Beard’s men, and Hiro is hit in the back of the head by Kensei. White Beard’s men then offer Kensei anything he wants, and that’s where we are left for next week.

On the other side of the globe (or of the time continium), Sylar and his riders, Maya and Alejandro have finally reached the border, only to be thwarted by border patrol. Sylar, very enthused with Maya’s “talent” convinces her to use her special gift and kill the patrollers.

She does and Alejandro is very upset, so upset, in fact, that he and Sylar later engage in a fight. Maya stands up for him, and they again decide to stay together, all three of them. Slyer then, when Maya walks away, tells Alejandro, who doesn’t speak English, that he plans to kill them both and take their abilities, and if he does let them live, he will use Maya as his “shiny new toy”.

My favorite story line in this episode was Claire’s. She tried out for cheerleading, but the sassy and *itchy Debbie refused to let her on the team, because she’s not special enough. I loved that one! Anyway, West suggested to Claire that she bring Debbie down a notch, so she found her drunk with the other cheerleaders later that night, and Claire and West staged a “horror” for her to witness. West flew down and grabbed Claire, only to let her drop to the cement steps below. Then he started chasing Debbie. The next thing it showed was a tearful and terrified Debbie relating the story to the police, and telling them that Claire was dead. Of course, she looked like a fool when Claire walked up and asked what was going on. The police found her liquor bottle, and apparently toted her off to jail, and the very next day Claire is named a new cheerleader. Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?

A few other sidelines of the night included Suresh and Bob arguing over giving Monica an injection with the virus in it to see if it would stop her powers. Don’t worry, they kissed and made up and Nikki (or Jessica, who can tell?) was given to Mohinder as his partner. In the meantime, HRK and the Haitian were in Russia to see Ivan, who used to work for the company. They tied him up, took away a little of his memory for cohersion, and asked him where the pictures were. He did finally tell them, only to be blown forever out of the series by HRK himself. By blown away, I mean he shot him. They did find the paintings, and as the show went off, they were trying to figure out what the paintings by the late, great Isaac Mendez actually mean.
