In the last episode, Peter had given Claire a gun so she can shoot him when Peter's hands heat up. It had ended just like that so we now see Claire get her weapon but Peter now says, "Stop!" Seems he can control his powers. Ted goes with them while Matt and HRG look for the tracker of special-powered people. Hiro is still examining his broken sword when Ando finds a sword repair shop in the Yellow Pages and calls the number. When they arrive there, Hiro's father is waiting and summons his son to a secret room while Ando waits. It turns out Hero's father knows about his son's abilities and trains him on sword fighting in order to more effectively kill Sylar. Unfortunately, Ando left to find Sylar by himself so Hiro searches for him before he gets killed. Micah seems to get along with Candace now though they still have differences over Cruel World (Candace's view) vs. mostly Wonderful (Micah's view). Linderman comes and says he wants Micah to fix the voting polls to give Nathan Petrelli a landslide victory. Candace morphs into a black woman so she can pass Micah as her son at the polls to convince the pollsters of taking him to educate about the election process. Linderman also arrives at the Petrellis and cures Mrs. Nathan Petrelli's paralyzed legs in exchange for her support. Finally, he appears where Jessica and D.L. are and offers lots of money to agree to his plan but Jessica turns back to Niki who refuses. Linderman then shoots as D.L. stands in front of Niki to protect her then phases his hands to the back of Linderman's head as he takes his brain out. Sylar had overheard the conversation of Ted, Claire, and Peter and rats Ted to Agent Audrey Hanson as she arrests Ted who later gets his brain sliced by Sylar after Sylar makes the vehicle he's in turn over. In searching for the tracker, Matt and HRG find Thompson who threatens HRG. HRG shoots him. They then encounter Mohinder who knocks Matt down then pulls a gun on HRG who keeps his pointed at him while the tracker-little girl Molly-fears for her life. All this while Sylar's on the roof saying, "Boom!"...Wow, a lot to ponder in the next-to-last episode of the season. All intriguing stuff but I want some action now! Next week better be good, that's all I have to say...

Chapter Twenty-Two 'Landslide'
Prismark1027 January 2022
It is election day and Nathan is behind in the polls.
Linderman is not worried, he even has a gift for Nathan's wife. She can walk again.
A landslide is delivered and the conduit is Micah's abilities.
The question for Nathan is can he be a hero in the future. Hiro sees a villain.
Hiro is not alone. His father also has abilities and he trains Hiro to fight with a sword with his heart.
Sylar is not finished. He wants the powers of the other Heroes and sets a trap to kill Ted.
Mr Bennett is after Lindeman and his tracking system, a small child.
In hindsight the first series suffers with too many episodes. Here it is coming together. Sylar is on a rampage and the others are unaware he is right on their tail.
The best bit was Hiro training with his father. Mr Sulu is lightning fast with the sword.
The others are teaming up as well. Mr Bennett and Parkman who hook up with DL and Niki.
It is a very tense set up for the finale. Everything is evenly balanced.
