This is a pretty good episode, with a pretty good concept, canceling the hero's powers, that's neat. The episode was nicely paced, with the protagonists rescuing a man from the custody of Providence. The man can cancel out the man character's powers. The chase scenes were good, and they did add a lot of tension. The fight scene at the end was very neat to watch, and it displays many of the changes that the series has gone through (Double builds, Providence using more lethal means, the new black suited agents being effective). It also marks the first time that regular Providence grunts have directly tried to harm and kill the heroes, not saying hello, or teaming up or anything, it is good build up for next episode. The main problem with the episode is the guy they rescue, he is ANNOYING! Beyond Annoying, he nearly gets the heroes killed, he has no sense of self preservation, he constantly complains, he is the stereotypical problems every minute kind of guy. At the end of the episode, he says that the heroes were annoying. I hope that we never see that guy again, ever again (I think Tom Kenny did his voice). The episode was good, but in the end, it was kind of pointless, neither side gain anything, and its just more buildup for the finale. The episode has its flaws, and it does seem like filler (something that his show indulges in, though not excessively) but that doesn't mean it's not good.
