Fantastic episode, especially the third time around. Love consistently makes, breaks and threatens the main characters--Takezo vs. Hiro via Yaeko, classic mix-up between a wayward knight and his noble squire, on par with the French Arthurian romances; Claire vs. Noah via West with some reverse "Electra complex" underpinnings; Niki, compelled to passionate revenge by the "ghost" of D. L. and the primal instinct to protect her cub with Fury Like Hell Hath No; Matt vs. Maury via Molly in a nightmare, again the child protection bit, with a whiff of the dichotomous "father abandonment" motif; Peter vs. Oblivion via Angela, stern but soothing with a tender eye and birthday cake("...Mom."). Adam Monroe vs. the World, a personal war on account of betrayal and a broken heart. As far as expounding on the changeable workings of love, this episode told more tales than Odysseus. Yet, better than the master of many guises, it knew when and how to end--the story arched around to the cliff-hanger wrap-up nicely.

Some odd, if macabre, questions are raised: (From an earlier episode) Could Claire regrow an entire leg? organs? lower torso and legs? ...her head? Does Caitlin die (simply cease to exist) when Peter returns to Montreal? How did Adam Monroe survive the explosion? How much living tissue--how much intact DNA--does one who can regenerate actually need to survive and completely heal? Is Claire in fact descended from Takezo, thus inheriting her regenerative capabilities? Are any of these answered in the 11/26 show? Will any be answered in the 12/3 episode? I can't wait!

God, I hate Mohinder! From the first episode, he is just someone who thinks he's smart but never actually delivers anything. A few special guys got killed directly because of him, he never does the right thing but yet is still alive. OK, Noah had his fair share of bad decisions but to die by the hands of stupid & limited character such as Suresh... Good thing is Noah is still alive (for a moment, I was sure he's done), otherwise I would have stopped watching. All in all, I missed to watch Heroes when the show came out originally but watching it now - it is better than majority of TV shows these days.

Noah Bennet prepares to move his family yet again as he feels Claire's life is in danger, that the Company might be looking for Claire, but she refuses to go. Mohinder is sort of pressurized by Bob to take down Mr. Bennet, while Bennet seeks help from Mohinder to track down West, and now Mohinder has to unwillingly take a side. Hiro returns to the present and finds it difficult to accept his father's death, and decides to go back in time to save him. Matt decides to work on his new ability and uses it pretty well and it proves to be effective. This episode is really intriguing, and if you've been following the show, you'd love it for sure. The best of the season to me.

Because his family is in danger again, Noah tells his family they must leave but Claire refuses. She later writes "Sorry" with stones for West to see. When she tells West she's staying, West doesn't seem happy to hear it, in fact he's miffed she didn't tell about her father before. That's what the "Sorry" stones were for. Ando and Hiro attend Hiro's father, Kaito's, funeral. Hiro doesn't accept his father's death and goes back to one week before when Kaito was talking to Angela Petrelli. As Kaito greets his son, they go back to the mother's funeral where Hiro meets himself as a young boy. It's there that he accepts his father's words that "you can't play God." Matt now has the power to change people's minds as he finds out with Molly and his partner. He then uses it on Angela who's fighting the best she can especially when he questions about a woman standing next to his father in the Company group photo. She tells Matt the way he's going, "You're not just like your father. You are him." When Bob introduces Mohinder to his partner in getting Claire away from Noah to get Claire's blood, it's Elle who's revealed to Bob's daughter. As Noah gets confrontations about his methods from both Claire and his wife Sondra, he goes out and gets attacked by a flying West. Somehow, he convinces West he meant no harm to him. As Claire is at cheerleading practice, she is interrupted by the coach as she leads her to Bob, who's asking about Debbie's underage drinking and then mistakenly calls her "Ms. Bennett". As Claire goes back home to warn her parents, Sondra recognizes Bob from her husband's former job at the Primatech Paper building. Noah manages to hold Elle's feet in water for a while as she temporarily gets electrocuted but Mohinder, in having to pick sides, puts Noah at gunpoint and has him lead him to Claire. Bob now has Claire tied up. Noah makes a deal to switch Elle for his daughter with West's help. All ends tragically as Noah threatens Mohinder at gunpoint, West flies Claire away as soon as possible just before her father gets shot in the eye, and Elle also gets shot. Bob manages to get Claire's blood in a vial before any of this happens. Back at the funeral, Hiro does a speech in which he says, "as long as my father word's and deeds live in me, he'll always be here". Before this, Hiro was shocked to find, when he stopped time as his father fell to his death, that his killer was Takezo Kensei a.k.a. Adam Monroe. As the last words of the eulogy are being said, we find Noah lying with his eyes suddenly regenerating. He then gets up and says, "Holy-" as "To Be Continued" appears on screen...Wow! What another great episode of "Heroes". Lots of great stuff about fathers and their children. Nice to see George Takei one more time. Also great stuff from Jack Coleman as Noah Bennett. Hiro was the coolest especially with the eulogy. Only two more episodes before the strike happened so until next time...
