A great episode of “Heroes” last night with some big shockers at the end.

First up, Claire continued to work to try and help her new friend Aquaman (I’m forgetting his name, Andrew?) escape, but her mom found out Claire was hiding him in her closet. Her mom, furious, ended up helping her by forging a license for him so he could get away and through border checks. She even ended up stalling when federal agents stormed the house. Go Claire’s mom!

The real shocker though came at the end of the show when Eric Doyle, aka the Puppetmaster, showed up to see Claire for help! “Rebel” texted him telling him to go to Claire for help. What da hell! I thought Eric was dead? I was so confused . . .

Sylar and Luke continued trekking along in the desert, eventually stopping at some old closed diner that Sylar had a memory about. There he remembered his father dropping him off, where his “new” family picked him up. He also had a memory of his father killing his mother, using the same brain slicing ability Sylar had. Sylar was furious and had a new quest, revenge for his real mother’s murder.

Luke meanwhile seems to have run out of chances with Sylar. Sylar grew tired of him. Luke kept wanting Sylar to forget about his father, trying to convince him to just go on the lam with him somewhere. Sylar seemingly left him at the end of the show, sparing his life, telling him to go home to mommy. Not sure what is going on here. I was sure Luke was his brother, but after 8 million times being beaten up or almost killed by Sylar, he never told him. I would have expected him to blurt it out to try and save his life at some point. Is that the end of Luke? Was he just a pointless sidekick for a few episodes? I hope this isn’t the last we see of him, otherwise let down! Though he was getting on my nerves I must say 🙂

Matt and Peter attempted to infiltrate Building 26 to rescue Daphne. Peter borrowed Matt’s power for the mission, thinking it would help if they could both read minds and watch each others backs. Well in the end it turned out Daphne wasn’t even there, she was taken to a medical facility elsewhere. They did however steal a bunch of plans of Nathan’s to use against him.

Meanwhile Nathan, HRG and The Hunter were setting a trap for them. HRG told them how to distract Matt’s powers with sounds, getting in good with The Hunter. The Hunter though had pretty much had it with Nathan. He put Peter on a most wanted dead or alive list and didn’t care what Nathan thought about it! Oh yeah, Nathan was realizing The Hunter was a bit off his rocker. Nathan couldn’t control him anymore.

In the end Matt got captured, allowing Peter to escape with the secrets. Peter was cornered on the roof where HRG told him he was on his side, it was a trap, he was being set up. So Peter now knows that HRG is on their side it would seem. Peter was shot by the Hunter, fell off the roof, but Nathan flew him off quickly! It happened so fast I wasn’t sure if it was Nathan flying or if Peter had somehow taken his powers back and flown off himself.

Nathan flew off with Peter and he talked to both Peter and his mom in some other location. Nathan wanted Peter to turn himself in, saying he would help him. Peter pretended to go along, hugging Nathan, only to steal his powers and fly off. Mama Petrelli then warned Nathan his original plan got out of control, she had seen what would happen. Remember her power is seeing the future in dreams. She whispered something to Nathan.

The show ended with a shocking twist. Matt’s painting of him blowing up the Capital came true, but now how he thought. The Hunter drugged him, strapped to bomb on him and dropped him off right in front of the capital. He wanted everyone to think he was a terrorist so he could continue with his own plan. It was Matt’s painting come true! The previews for next week show Nathan arriving to help him, clearly having been warned by his mama.

Once again Hiro and Ando were absent, and again I didn’t find myself missing them too much. I know they are back soon though, I just hope they don’t try and be overly funny.
