Heroes Season 3 Episode 12 – The Eclipse Part 2
Posted by: dragonblogger // Category: Heroes, TV Show ReviewsAfter leaving off last week with part one where Claire was critical in the hospital and Noah was about to fire a sniper rifle round into Sylar or Elle we were left wondering what is to come for the Heroes and Villains who have lost their powers during the eclipse.
Watch the episode here:
The episode opens with The Haitian and Peter running from the Guerrilla’s through the jungle and at the same time Claire being rushed into the hospital. We cut to see Sylar and Elle laying on the floor together in the house, with Noah outside the door with the rifle.
Elle and Gabriel discuss that if they do not get their powers back then Elle has a chance to have another life and start over. Bullets fire and Noah breaks into the house having missed both of them with the sniper rifle. A gun battle ensues, where Elle gets hit by a bullet. Noah follows the traces of blood attempting to track them.
Nathan meanwhile is chained and imprisoned by The Haitians brother and converses with some other captives. Nathan attempts to stand up for the woman who is also imprisoned but is unable to do anything.
Mohinder working to figure out the issue with the eclipse comes up with no answers, which distresses Arthur Petrelli who does not like that he is vulnerable. Flint meanwhile injures Suresh as added insurance for him to continue his work and research. Later Mohinder attacks Flint and beats him unconscious so he can escape. He picks up Maya’s address on a sticky as he leaves the building.
Sandra finally gets a hold of Noah and tells him that Claire is very sick and she has an infection like her body was never sick before so it had never built up any immunities. Noah starts heading back when he realizes that Gabriel and Elle are close by.
Matt Parkman and Daphne talking in her home where Daphne confides that she has cerebral palsy and that the previous eclipse allowed her to start to walk, then run. They both realize that they lost their powers and Daphne thinks that they lost their powers due to Arthur.
Hiro and Ando at the comic book shop talk to some comic geeks about the 9th wonders where they are trying to get the next issue to see how Hiro can get his powers back. Hiro hands over his card and picks up a slew of 9th Wonders issues. Later Matt arrives at the comic book store and the comic book geek clues them in that the eclipse may have ended their powers but their powers will return when the eclipse ends. Hiro explains he doesn’t want to grow up when he sees the pictures of himself stabbing Sylar among other things.
We cut to a supermarket where Gabriel is attempting to dress Elle’s thigh wound with over the counter supplies. Elle and Gabriel discuss setting a trap for Noah since they both know that Noah has the advantage. They both arrive in the warehouse section to see Noah is on the security camera. Gabriel sends Elle down the lift and stays behind to attempt to deal with Mr. Bennett himself. Noah and Gabriel engage in combat where Noah continues to gain the upper hand against him. He grabs a box cutter and holds it to Gabriels throat then cuts his throat and Sylar falls on the ground bleeding and dead.
The Haitians brother takes the girl to his tent, but The Haitian bashes him over the head and knocks him unconscious. Peter binds his hands and legs. Nathan trapped in the cell with a little girl confesses that someone should be standing up to protect her, and he apologizes. Just then Peter and The Haitian arrive and free them both, as they try to flee Peter nobly sends his brother and the Haitian away while he offers to hold the enemies off.
At the hospital Claire is in bad condition as her mom tries to tell her that her dad is coming, but isn’t sure of it herself. Claire confides that all she wanted was her ability to go away and now she wants it back. Claire then flat lines and the doctors rush over to try and help her. It was blatantly obvious that when the eclipse ends Claire would regenerate as would Sylar and they would both restore to life, I saw this coming before the eclipse ended.
Matt arrives back at Daphne’s house to try and tell her about her powers being restored but he is too late and Daphne is gone. Matt realizes that he has his powers back as he reads her fathers mind. Matt can hear Daphne’s mind though and knows she isn’t too far way. Daphne feels regret and shame for what she did and Matt knows this by reading her thoughts. Matt helps Daphne realize she needs to apologize to her father and set things right.
Back in Haiti, the guerrilla’s are looking for Nathan, Peter and the Haitian and Peter attempts to hold them off. Peter does his best to hold them off with his gun when it runs out of ammunition. Just as Peter is about to give up the Haitian and Nathan show up to help him. Nathan flies towards the Haitians brother and throws him against a car only for him to regenerate. The Haitian grabs his brother by the head, disables his powers and starts draining his mind of all memories and thought.
Mohinder arrives at Maya’s apartment a short time later only to realize that he is starting to transform into a creature again, so he flees before Maya can see him.
Ando and the Comic Book Guru try to talk Hiro from coming out of the bathroom and convince him that saving the world is the most important thing. I like the way Seth Green says that Hiro doesn’t have to be a billionaire like Batman or an alien like Superman. The comic book people realize that Hiro must find Claire and take her to the past so he can recover his memory.
Noah arrives at Claire’s bedroom to have Claire attack him for not being there when she needed him. He tries to explained to her that she means more to him than just an assignment. It is then that Noah arrives downstairs to realize that Sylar and Elle are in the house and plan to capture Claire and take her to Arthur. Claire says she will go with them if they leave Noah alone, Noah tells Sylar that Arthur and Angela are not his parents and they are trying to use Gabriel. Noah reveals that Elle had a part in creating Sylar, Hiro arrives and grabs Sylar and teleports him away, then comes back and grabs Elle and teleports her away, re-appearing again to grab Claire and teleport away once again. Three back and forth teleports with 3 different people just before Sylar could kill Noah.
Matt and Daphne arrive at the comic shop to find out Hiro is gone and nobody knows where he is, they learn there is no more 9th Wonders and that Isaac Mendez is dead. Comic book guru explains that there is one more 9th wonders issue that was bequeathed to a bike messenger. Find the messenger and they will find their story.
The Haitian, Nathan and Peter walking through the jungle as the Haitian returns the girl to her family. Nathan opens up to Peter that he thinks that going to Pinehearst is the right thing to do, and that giving abilities to people may be the right thing to do. Nathan thinks that Pinehearst can be a solution to the worlds problems and he flies off to go back to Pinehearst.
Mohinder arrives back at Pinehearst to see Arthur standing over an injured Flint who is unconscious and wounded. Arthur tells Mohinder that they will find a cure but he has to solve his own personal demons.
Sylar and Elle appear at a beach near the water where Sylar asks Elle what she knows about his parents. As they kiss and lie together on the beach Sylar tells her that she was wrong and nobody ever really changes. Sylar confides that he understands they will never change and its then that Sylar cuts her head open.
Hiro and Claire arrive back in time to show Claire when Hiro’s father hands Claire over to Noah as a baby. The episode ends at this point with a too be continued.
All in all I was disappointed with Sylar killing Elle at the end of the episode, this was a real tragedy and made me very much hate his character again. It is weird how you can like Sylar in one episode and hate him in another.

I almost agree with your final statement about Sylar, but I was rooting for him to not kill Elle.
The confusing part for me is that Sylar says that he can’t change, but he does. He used to kill people for a purpose, usually to acquire a new ability.
Killing Elle makes no sense at all. He already had Elle’s power and the two of them seemed to make a good team (albeit for evil).
Aside from Sylar’s change of heart, I have to admit, I’m not liking the way this season is shaping up.
In the latest episode, Hiro gets the light, just in time for Arthur Patrelli to take it from him. I find it annoying that the writers continue to portray him as inept in nearly anything. How can he effortlessly stop Sylar from taking Claire, yet be powerless against Arthur. Before you answer that Arthur is more powerful, remember that Sylar didn’t have any problems holding Arthur off before he decided to kill him.
My other issue is how they set up the scene for this big showdown in the Level 5 holding area and then kill off half the people who are supposed to be there. What’s up with that?

You make some good points, here is what I think. Arthur was still disabled by The Haitian when Sylar stopped the bullet and held him. If Arthur had not been still muted by the Haitian I don’t think Sylar would have had a chance. Secondly the future keeps changing, you don’t want it to take place, so the showdown you see at level 5, won’t actually take place, nor will the future where Ando kills Hiro, any more than the future took place with the bomb going off in Season 1.
They can show futures and then not have them happen, it is what makes altering the future a reality. Sylar is cruel and now enjoys killing for the pleasure, he killed Elle not for her power, but because she lied to him about Arthur and knew the truth and didn’t say anything.
