Noah voice overs and tells us that people do terrible things to one another as we watch a montage of people doing terrible things to one another. So, a light episode this week then?
Lauren and Noah argue about trying to find Edgar, and Noah blows up when Lauren brings logic into the conversation. She gets a hit on a ‘Vanessa Wheeler’ in her magic computer database and OMG IT’S ELLEN TIGH FROM BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, I JUST BECAME INVESTED. This explains all of Heroes – Vanessa is a cylon and she has been from the start. Anyway, she lived in the house that Samuel destroyed back in the day so Noah has to find her, and Samuel does too, and I bet this ends in a confrontation of some sort.
Matt is making breakfast for his family, and I honestly don’t understand how he’s escaped the police. I know he has that mind thing but still, it’s so unbelievable. He says he’s really embracing this stay at home dad thing, which secretly means he hates it, and sends his wife out to work. Noah appears in Matt’s house, assuming he knows anything about Samuel. Even though the last time Matt helped Noah he got Sylar stuck in his head, Noah plays on Matt’s fear that his own son could get recruited one day, so Matt agrees to help.
Ellen Tigh (I mean Vanessa) plays the cello and Matt and Noah accost her as she comes out of rehearsal. Matt brainwashes her into thinking she can trust the two of them. Ugh. Now she’s probably going to get murdered. She tells them that Samuel was sweet on her, even though his dad was her dad’s servant. One day he disappeared, then showed up in her room all ‘swagger and rock and roll’. She bailed when he asked her to marry him. Turns out Samuel is being a creeper lately, popping up in all sorts of locations and spouting some total crazy about how powerful he is. Noah decides it would be a great idea to have Vanessa trick Samuel by having calling him for a meeting, all in the hopes that the carnival will appear. I can help you with this one Noah – No.
Samuel kidnaps Vanessa while Eli and his multiple personalities distract Noah and Matt. Vanessa gets sent to the carnival, and Samuel creates a minor earthquake to make his escape. Matt’s pulls the car around, and they track the GPS they gave Vanessa. They get to the desert but can’t see the carnival of course, because they aren’t ~special~ enough. Noah still won’t talk to Claire, so when Matt tries to bring logic into this conversation, he gets yelled at too. Matt should go compare notes with Lauren.
Going back home, Matt is ready to start making dinner for his wife and tells Noah to stop ruining his life. That night, he tells his wife he thinks he’s a coward. Noah heads to Claire’s dorm and rambles about bridges and love and family before she tells him she’s late for something. Burn. He goes back home and Lauren shows up, and he confesses his love for her. What.
Lydia is bored with Samuel’s dreams or whatever yarn he’s spinning now about family, because he’s obsessed with getting Vanessa into the group. Lydia decides to rebel against it all and find their next leader, but he’s just ‘so far away’. She sends out some kind of psychic SOS and what do you want to bet this leader is going to be Peter? Sure enough, Peter wakes up from a deep sleep with a compass suddenly tattooed on his arm.
Peter calls Noah because he’s worried about this random compass tattoo showing up on his arm, when he hears Emma playing her cello from blocks away. Turns out, Emma used her siren call to summon him to her apartment. Using the cello for a booty call – awesome. He sees the compass symbol on the cello, and shows Emma his new ink. He takes her back to his apartment and shows her the compass and how it could be associated with EVIL. Angela shows up and has a total freak out over Emma knowing Peter before Emma bolts.
Peter is pissed because Angela had a dream about Emma and won’t share. Once Peter admonishes her for keeping secrets she tells him that Emma will kill thousands of people with her cello. Peter takes her ability so that he can see for himself. That night he has a crazy dream that Emma is in the house of mirrors playing her cello, crying, and suddenly Sylar is there talking about saving her. Peter of course wakes up and goes straight over to her place, destroying the cello. He doesn’t even explain first, he just SMASHES IT. That is not how you respond to a cello booty call PETER.
Hiro and Ando get to Mohinder’s loony bin and Hiro checks himself in. Ando manipulates the security grid with his ability and finds Mohinder. Ando switches Mohinder’s medication then accidentally swallows Mohinder’s meds. Since Ando’s out of the picture, it’s pretty much up to the legit crazy person to save the day. Hiro finds Mohinder and off his meds, Mohinder uses his super strength to bust himself out. They find Ando in a closet and they actually escape while Ando screams about swimming only it’s INSIDE OUT.
They run into the swamp and Ando tells Mohinder that Hiro is dying of a brain tumor. They keep running and Mohinder decides that electroshock therapy will fix Hiro, so Ando should get to it. Somehow this miracle cure works instantly, and Hiro teleports them out of there and into Noah’s apartment as he’s making out with Lauren.
Back at the carnival, Samuel is holding Vanessa against her will and good GOD he’s so creepy, touching her face all over and everything. He says he wants to show her something and if she doesn’t like it she can leave. We never find out what that thing is before the episode ends.
Next week Sylar decides to shove his tongue down Claire’s throat because she’s supposed to help him or some such thing. I bet that helps him get what he wants. How did you feel about this episode? At least we learned some things this week. Or did we? You tell me by leaving comments!
