This episode focused very specifically on Nathan Petrelli and his past as the Sylar in Nathan’s body learns what kind of man Nathan was and what dark secrets lied in his past, we are lead to see how yet another one of Nathan’s “mistakes” is covered up by his mother and he has the same Nathan guilt and remorse and is compelled to tell his former girlfriends mother that her daughter was killed rather than believe she had run away for so many years. This shows that the “Nathan” still has his faults and wrong doings, but is riddled with guilt and trying to do whats right to make up for his past. This is even more bizarre knowing that it is Sylar with just a brainwash of Nathan thoughts and memories forced into it. I especially enjoyed the discovery of the new abilities, and he thinks he unlocked some of the same power absorbing potential as Peter had. Peter has no idea that Sylar is Nathan and it will make an even more disturbing showdown when he finds out, which looks to be pretty soon based on the next episodes.
The other major section of the show takes us into Hiro’s journey to try and fix the past only to find that one of the employee’s at his company keeps making the same mistake 40+ times after Hiro goes back in time over and over to try and alter the future. Finally Hiro gives up trying to change the past and helps the person confront his issues and provides his own guidance and realizes he must himself finally tell his sister that he is dying. I thought there was a lot of touching moments with Hiro here as he started off with good and noble child like intentions only to learn a lesson that you can’t simply undo everything and that he himself needs to face a little reality. You also saw how troubled and worried Ando is for Hiro and the bond and strength of friendship between them has never been stronger.
The rest of the show focused on Tracy trying to integrate into her old life only to be bored and disinterested with being the sleazy girl of a Governor and when she tries to vie for a real position she quickly recognizes what she really is worth to her former boss. I think this is setting the stage for Tracy and Noah to partner up and reform the company, or at least team up to help Peter find the Carnival crew who tattooed him and stole the compass.
There were some scenes where Claire and Noah were sitting around trying to figure out how Noah can integrate back into life, get a job and start moving on. Claire says “Sometimes you have to look at your past, to know your future” ironically giving parental advice to her dad which was an ironic twist.
Finally we start to see that there is something going on between Lydia and Edgar and they are starting to not like the decisions that Samuel is making now that he is the “head” of the carnival crew. Still open is the mystery as to the purpose of the carnival and collection of people with abilities, also what is the significance of the compasses. I think the slower and more character focused episodes of Season 4 are a breath of fresh air and closer mimic the suspense build up of Heroes Season 1.
That is my review of the latest Heroes Episode, Heroes fans or haters, what did you think of the Episode?
