Hiro Heroes Samurai Sword Spoilers at Corinthian Hotel

Anyone want to see Hiro Nakamura's Heroes samurai sword? Hiro sure does. That's what Linderman is using to lure Hiro all the way to Las Vegas. Now we all can see it and some hidden paintings by future painter Isaac Mendez.

(Hiro's samurai sword wielded by capable hands)

Last week I posted about the new Heroes 360 Degrees Online Experience Internet presence for the Linderman Group. Now the key into Linderman's private collection has been released. Some Heroes spoilers lurking within...

OK do you want to see it? Go to the secret archive page of Linderman's CorinthianLasVegas.com (follow the link). Once there, enter "sword" for the special invitation code.

It may be a fake, since you only see the grip.

There also is a pretty interesting Japanese tapestry of the original owner of the sword, Takezo Kinsei.

Look at how the arrows are raining down on the samurai warrior in panel 3, but are raining down in the background in panel 2. More to come for sure.

Heroes Spoilers 'n Clues: "Company Man" Episode Summary

As we all knew, this episode focused on H.R.G., Claire, how they got together, and who in the world H.R.G. really is. H.R.G. ever ambiguous to the end. Anyone disappointed? Nobody here!

This is the Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog episode clues summary of the interesting twists and turns for Season 1, Episode 17 of Heroes, "Company Man" - on NBC.

("Comfortable with morally grey" H.R.G.
and invisible Claude, his sidekick)

Shout out thanks to sduncan from Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog for some great tips. See the comments from over the weekend.

How about those Hiro Heroes spoilers? Turns out that Sulu aka George Takai aka Mr. Nakamura Hiro’s billionaire dad knows all about Hiro’s quest. Exactly whether he disapproves or approves of it is unknown at this moment. Hiro meets baby Claire. They have a connection. If anyone ever finds out that Claire has manifested superhero Heroes powers, H.R.G. must “turn her in” to Mr. Nakamura. Now we know H.R.G., the company man, really has been protecting Claire and his family all along. Ever ambiguous, H.R.G. he has done it by killing, mind-erasing, and in the end, deceiving his own ambiguously evil superiors.

Now for the Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog comic interlude, with some Mr. Muggles Heroes spoilers clues [revised]: How did Ted Sprague, the radioactive guy know Mr. Muggles’ the pet dog's name? Based on the comments, it looks like Ted has really good radioactive eyes. Nevertheless, awfully friendly for a radioctive man breaking and entering, and the "watch" dog who never had met him. Hmmmmm. Claire said, Mr. Muggles has a power, playing dead. Mr. Muggles is saved from the radiation not showing a single burn. There is more to come on Mr. Muggles, after all, nobody rememebered to wipe his memories. :)

Ok end of Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog comic interlude.

H.R.G. turns out to be a company man, as in Primatech Paper of PrimatechPaper.com fame. A front company for the Heroes tracking program. Another company, aka Mr. Nakamura’s conglomerate is the controlling shareholder so to speak. H.R.G. has been following orders his whole life, having no problem with “morally grey”. However his midlife crisis catches up this week at the hands of the radioactive Ted and Matt Parkman team on one side, H.R.G.'s boss portrayed by Eric Roberts on another side, and the Haitian, apparently playing all sides.

How about the Claude & H.R.G. Heroes story: Talk about ambiguity. H.R.G. shoots Claude. First shot looked like a mistake. The rest were not. Claude had been hiding someone with Heroes super powers, the greatest offense. Who was it? Well, who can save you when you are falling off a bridge after being shot? More to come.

Ironically, H.R.G. winds up doing exactly what Claude did by hiding Claire.

Hana Heroes spoilers: Hmmm, where was Hana? Hana set up the whole operation – tracking down H.R.G. to get answers. One theory is that Hana was there at the end at Primatech Paper, but and based on overwhelming comment, we'll go with uh uh, the Israeli Mossad superhero Heroes spy is on the side of good, still.

Isaac’s building Heroes spoilers: Scene 1, Mr. Nakamura meets with H.R.G. and hands over baby Claire with Heroes’ Hiro playing video games in the background. This roof was very familiar. The roof of Isaac’s building. Also, the same roof where invisible Claude hid out raising pigeons, for years. Also the same roof where H.R.G. and the Haitian tracked down Claude, and Claude flew, for the second time, this time with Peter Petrelli’s aid.

Haitian Heroes Spoilers: We do not know yet who the Haitian is reporting to. We do know that next episode introduces Linderman.

Wasn’t it sad when H.R.G. submitted to the mind wipe? It was on the exact same bridge where he shot invisible Claude 15 years earlier.

Claire and the Haitian now are on the run together. H.R.G. thinks the Haitian will keep her safe.

Some Matt Heroes spoilers clues: More and more Matt is getting clued in. He uses his mind reading superheroes Heroes power quite admirably, for the first time. Matt now is becoming a real fan favorite. He actually hatches the plan to reel in out-of-control Ted during the hostage drama, using his mind reading. Cool. Claire and H.R.G. team up to persuade Matt to shoot Claire. He does, she heals, and Ted cools down, temporarily. Unfortunately for Matt, he now is in with a bad crowd it seems, since he is tied down in the super-secret underground Primatech Paper laboratory.

Heroes Spoilers: Company Man, Season 1, Episode 17

This is the Heroes spoilers blog for "Company Man", the next episode of Heroes, season 1, Episode 17. The "Company" in the title does not refer to Primatech Paper of PrimatechPaper.com fame. Oops almost forgot the standard disclaimer ... watch out spoilers ahead blah blah blah.

Heroes "Company Man", what a great title for this episode. The Heroes spoilers are on ever ambiguous H.R.G. Who is he? Where is he from? Why is he teamed up with a super hero the "Haitian"? Where did he get indestructible Claire?

Easy, we get answers to all these questions. H.R.G. it seems is part of a different "company", the implication being he's with the CIA. We do not know if he has been duped though. (It would be ironic if H.R.G.'s life has been a complete lie, to himself as well as his family?) You be the judge from this Heroes spoilers clip:



Pure speculation here, but maybe elements of the government decided they need to track the Heroes with superpowers, to track the threat, but not resort to assassinations. So the Heroes, like the "Haitian" may have agreed to cooperate, and team up. Pure speculation though, not spoilers. But are spoilers speculation? ... Only the blogger knows for sure ;)

As we already know from the previews, the H-M-T team (Heroes heroes Hana, Matt, Ted) go to confront H.R.G. They arrive at the H.R.G. manse before anyone arrives and start rifling the papers for information as shown in this recently released Heroes spoilers preview clip:



It turns out H.R.G. dissembles and stonewalls under interrogation. So, they decide that Matt will accompany H.R.G. to the paper factory of Primatech Paper (spy agency front operation?) and H.R.G. promises answers there. To keep his good faith unstable Ted will hold poor Mrs. Bennett hostage. We already know H.R.G. treated his family callously, so this will show us whether he has any honor:



Here is the official Heroes spoilers press release from NBC. Like all spoilers, we take these at the Heroes Spoilers blog with a grain of salt:

TAKEN HOSTAGE BY RADIOACTIVE TED SPRAGUE AND MATT, H.R.G.’S HIDDEN PAST IS REVEALED AND NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME FOR CLAIRE

Claire is pitted against H.R.G. because she knows part of his secrets.

H.R.G.’s (Jack Coleman) past catches up to him as Matt (Greg Grunberg) and Ted Sprague (guest star Matthew John Armstrong), come to Texas looking for answers, and take him, his wife, son and Claire (Hayden Panettiere) hostage — leading to a tragic, explosive showdown. Secrets are revealed and new threats to the “heroes” are introduced.

Enjoy...

Heroes Spoilers Clues: "Unexpected" Episode Summary

(Matt Getting Clued In By Hana)
Who does H.R.G. (Mr. Bennett) work for? That's the question asked at the end of Unexpected. The answer will come next week, in Heroes Season 1, Episode 17 - "Company Man", as Claire, Hana, Matt and Ted team up to get some answers out of H.R.G.

This is the Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog episode clues summary of the interesting twists and turns for Season 1, Episode 16 of Heroes, Unexpected.

Blockbuster quote: "Life isn't a comic book" - Hiro sends Ando home to Japan.

With Heroes, we come to expect the unexpected, and with this episode, Unexpected was expected, and we got what was expected. Whew! This was the last episode in the February ratings sweeps period and Heroes did not disappoint. Someone died and someone flied ...

As Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog readers expected in Unexpected, radioactive Ted teamed up with Israeli super spy, wireless Hana. This gave Ted a new faith and attitude on life. Ted was outright depressed after his wife died of radiation poisoning. So a hideaway in the middle of the Nevada desert seemed pretty attractive to him. His unexpected visitor for Heroes Unexpected was of course Hana, with her wireless superpower. Hana gave him the gift of life ... a will to live, with the purpose to track down H.R.G. and his crew. Ted still inadvertently kills all the grass around his deceased wife’s grave.

Hana and Ted then took their act on the road and their first beneficiary was Matt the mind reader, who got clued in, finally. They form the H-M-T team.

Fortunately Ted calls Matt in the Nick of time - just as Matt's lovely glowing wife Janice talked him into calling the police to turn himself in. Imagine it, Janice just wants Matt to be a good father to her baby. So, she develops a great plan (not). Matt will walk in to the police precinct, with $1 million in stolen diamonds as she demanded. Uh ... they really are a good couple with a lot in common ... think about it. Fortunately, Ted and Hana have great timing. Plan aborted...

H.R.G. has been tagging the Heroes he kidnaps with a radioactive tracking isotope. With Hana in the lead, the H-M-T team have a plan, and track down H.R.G. at home. In the end, they will get some dissembling and some answers next week, in "Company Man", season 1, episode 17.

In an almost scary teaming up of the clueless, Mohinder actually gets the phone number for Matt and calls him. Fortunately Hana gets to Matt first. However, Mohinder does lead Sylar to Dale - who has the short-lived super hearing superpower. When her back is turned, he levitates and … yummy brain … Sylar now has super hearing. ... and a major headache ... super hearing = super headache.

Oh, and Mohinder also confides his biggest secret to Sylar, who he still thinks is Zane: "My father was murdered by a man named Sylar".

One aspect of Heroes' creative greatness is giving credit to the givers of inspiration, such as Lost and X-Men.

Lost Heroes spoilers: Did you notice Nathan’s reference to the Island in the middle of the ocean where they would study people with superpowers. That’s what he said to Simone. And, Mohinder’s hotel room was 23, a very significant room in Lost – the “brainwashing” room.

X-Men Heroes Spoilers: Stan Lee, creator of Spiderman, X-Men and the Fantastic Four and retired Chairman of Marvel Comics, was the bus driver.

Someone Flies Heroes spoilers: That would be Peter Petrelli the power sponge. Finally finally he used brother Nathan’s flying power, and he used it to save Claude. H.R.G. and the mind erasing “Haitian” superhero track them using infra-red scopes. The invisibility superpower does not cloak your heat signature. Claude has been hiding out for 15 years and Peter led H.R.G. straight to him. H.R.G. thought Claude was dead ... because he killed him once before of course. Now Claude will be on the run alone again. Like Hiro, operating alone.

On the Claire home front, her mother, Sandra (Mrs.) Bennett has a brain hemorrhage - right in the memory center that the “Haitian” has been erasing. H.R.G., ever ambiguous, rushes home to Sandra and Claire, rather than continuing his hunt for Claude. Claire confronts H.R.G. at the hospital, and he gives the runner-up line: “Just protecting my family”. We do not yet know if H.R.G. is being fully truthful. The spoiler is, uh uh. There’s more :).

Back to Hiro our comic Heroes hero, in another unexpected pairing, he teams up with Gustafson, Hope’s double-crossed partner-in-crime (“You take me with you or the girl gets away, pal”). Hiro and Gustafson bad guy catch up with Ando and Hope, and Ando gets shot.

Finally Hiro’s light bulb goes back on and he reverses Hope's next gunshot and he time shifts Ando to safety. Hiro also realizes the lovelorn Ando no longer is an asset to his mission, so the comedic duo now has been split. Hiro sends Ando home. Life is not a comic book. The Heroes TV Show spoilers are: Ando will be back for sure. Hiro’s controlling dad will insist on that. His son cannot be all alone in danger in America, and Ando is the only person he trusts with his mission.

Who dies? Simone. Peter confronts Isaac the future painter about leading H.R.G. to him. Isaac pulls the trigger and shoots, and down goes Simone. R.I.P.

The Heroes spoilers for next week in Season 1, Episode 17: We learn more about Claire’s origins, and who H.R.G. really works for. More on these Heroes spoilers soon.

Unexpected - Heroes Spoilers - Season 1, Episode 16

This is the Heroes spoilers blog for the next episode of Heroes - Season 1, Episode 16 - "Unexpected". We can have fun with the title, so let's go. Oh standard disclaimer ... watch out spoilers ahead blah blah blah so if you want to remain in suspense until the broadcast, stop reading now ...

A couple of weeks ago we broke the spoilers on Hana Gitelman the new Israeli Mossad super spy, with a super Heroes power. Finally in Heroes Unexpected Hana makes her unexpected debut. She can run electronic devices with her mind. She is introduced via a wireless communication with Ted Sprague in the middle of a Nevada nuclear test range - as seen in one of the PR clips below. The spoilers-y catch is that Ted doesn't have an Internet connection! No problem, Hana the wireless Heroes hero brings her own, and it is not a Blackberry.

There are some Matt Heroes spoilers too. Wireless Hana and Ted team up and go searching for other Heroes superheroes to team up with, much like clueless Mohinder. They find Matt and persuade him to join their club. Hopefully they will pursue their goal with a lot of street-smart intelligence. With an Israeli super spy like Hana on their team, maybe they have it.

Talking about Mohinder, he remains in grave danger, and incredibly is leading Sylar around to find all the other Heroes. Will Mohinder ever get a clue? Yes he will, but not in Unexpected unless something seriously spoilers - y happens and he does.

Claire bonds with her adoptive mother Mrs. Bennett and tries to explain that her memories are being stolen. Doesn't work.

Rusty Schimmer makes her Heroes debut as the woman with super hearing super powers. Previously we posted her spoilers clip. She could hear Sylar's hear beating. Wonder if she also could hear him salivating over her brain. You can find that one in the Unexpected Previews post, along with two trailers.

Nathan Spoilers: Nathan the congressman wannabe meets up with Jessica, Linderman's assassin - again. Remember, they have a special "connection".

Here is the official NBC TV press release for the Unexpected episode. Some spoilers in there.

Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) painfully learns that someone close may have betrayed him and Claude (guest star Christopher Eccleston).

Sylar can sense the Heroes and can sense Peter. Also Nathan, Isaac and half the world are searching for and connected with Peter. Plus Claude (aka Dr. Who) the invisible guy is on the run from something, and Peter's presence endangers him.

Matt’s (Greg Grunberg) world spirals out of control when radioactive man Ted Sprague (guest star Matthew John Armstrong) and Hana Gitelman (guest star Stana Katic), a fierce young woman with “wireless” mental abilities, drop into his life.

Spoilers clip below.

After blood is spilled, Hiro (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) makes a difficult decision about his mission. Claire (Hayden Panettiere) is unable to contain her anger at her father (Jack Coleman).

As is becoming a weekly tradition, Heroes spoilers clips are making their way on the Internet for the next episode on the Heroes schedule. In this case the Heroes spoilers clips are for "Unexpected", which is Heroes Chapter 16 (Season 1, Episode 16).

Here is the Hana meets Ted spoilers clip:

Perpetually clueless Mohinder tells Sylar how his father was murdered by a man named Sylar.

Ted Sprague and wireless Mossad agent Hana meet Matt and discuss H.R.G.'s implantation of tracking devices in the heroes' necks.

Unexpected Previews

Yesterday was "Run". Scroll down the page for the "Run" clues 'n spoilers episode summary.

Heroes Season 1, Episode 16 is "Unexpected", and unexpectedly Unexpected (phewwwww) continues the theme of Running. The older Heroes superheroes need to Run from something. Claude is running, as he has been for 15 years. Claire's bio mom Meridith Gordon is running back into hiding as she has been for 15 years. Now the younger generation of Heroes is getting active and that is leading the evil force to the older generation. Claire found out Meridith the firestarter. And Peter found out invisible Claude.

Here is the spoilers - y Canadian Promo trailer for Heroes "Unexpected", which is different from the U.S. promo. Includes a preview of Claude's confrontation with Peter:




Before the U.S. broadcast, NBC showed a clip of a Hero with a new super hearing superpower, and she is on to Sylar:

Heroes Chapter 15: "Run" Episode Clues

This is my Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog episode clues summary of the interesting twists and turns for Episode 15 of Heroes, Run.

Clueless Matt Heroes mind-reading policeman needs to support his family so takes on a new job as bodyguard, only to be confronted by a quite confused person – you know the one with two personalities – Jessica and Nikki. So in between stealing diamonds and his day job, Matt just manages to survive Jessica’s wrath. Interestingly, he uses his superpower to read two people’s thoughts in one body – Jessica and Nikki.

Zane Taylor is introduced in Run as a new, albeit short-lived superhero - as seen in the photo. Meet Sylar, have brain eaten. His power now owned by Sylar is the ability to melt anything he wants – bank vaults, people, whatever.

Jessica is revealed as a professional hit-woman, evil Linderman’s new assassin paying off her debt to him for springing her (and Nikki) from prison. "Whatever Linderman wants Linderman gets". A hint of the future.
Back to the present, Jessica is out to even the score with Linderman’s crooked hatchet man Aron Malsky. Malsky took $2 million of Linderman's money and converted it into diamonds. Of course Matt winds up with the diamonds in the end.

Meanwhile Nikki / Jessica’s husband D.L. has not figured out Jessica is in control, as Jessica has learned to put on a game face and conceal her identity. Micah also seems oblivious but the spoiler is that Micah senses his mother’s dilemma.

We got to see Nathan’s human side – a refreshing turn from the robo Nathan of previous episodes. It was sad how he could not meet Claire and how she cast him out in the biblical sense, with a stone. Great, we get to like him right before assassin Jessica gets at him.

Meridith's spoilers reveal is that the fire where she "died" was a guise to disappear from someone who was after her - think Linderman, Nathan's estranged patron.

Nathan agrees to Meridith's demand for $100,000 in hush money. Her character laid bare, she lies to Claire Heroes cheerleader about the amount so she can keep most of the money. The twist of course is that Jessica has a contract to kill Nathan. She easily handled mind-reading Matt, so Nathan may wind up being the Heroes superhero who dies in February, besides Zane.

We also found out where Nathan gets his cold cover-up side … political mother-from-hell Angela Petrelli. What is her Heroes superpower? :)

Sandra Bennett – aka Mrs. Bennett, Claire's adoptive mother is becoming more and more vacant, the unintended after-effects of the hundred mind-wipes by the Haitian Heroes mind eraser. His power as readers of this blog know is not precise, and he has eliminated brain connections of hers. Now she does not remember cute cuddly Mr. Muggles and that is disturbing :), much less her memories of her daughter Claire. Looks like Claire will wind up only with one mother, the flawed Meridith.

Sylar has posed as someone else, and clueless Mohinder Suresh, keeper of the Heroes list has no idea he has teamed up with the mass-murdering marauding murderer of his beloved father.

Heard only here in the spoilers post for Run, we knew Ando was not always the trusty friend Hiro imagines him to be. Now he wants to team up with Hope, the woman with something to hide. At this point, this only is poor judgment by Ando. Think about this… How did Ando know to wear Cologne to impress Hiro’s sister Kimiko in Heroes season 1, episode 14, Distractions? The spoilers - y answer is that he has been the family’s agent to protect and keep an eye on Hiro. He knew in advance the love of his life Kimiko was coming in advance.


Next week's episode of Heroes, Season 1, Episode 16 is "Unexpected". Remember, with Heroes, expect the "Unexpected", as Matt teams up with Hana Gittleman the Israeli super spy and Ted Sprague Heroes' radioactive guy.

Nathan and Claire Spoilers for Heroes "Run", and Previews

We found a few new clips for the upcoming episode of Heroes, "Run".

The first set focuses on Nathan Heroes spoilers: Nathan deals with the stunning phone call from Meridith, Claire's bio mom revealing that Claire has appeared from nowhere, back into their lives. His campaign advisor Angela is urging him to stay clear of Claire. The not shown spoiler is, he does not. Also, Linderman now is involved in a public scandal. Nathan does offer Meridith and Claire hush money, $50,000, but Claire resists the offer. Here is one of the previews...




Matt, Jessica and Claire Heroes Spoilers: The new Heroes promo slogan from NBC is that someone dies - and someone flies ;) this month. What are new Heroes spoilers are some glimpses of Matt the mind reader pointing his gun at Jessica/Nikki, and then of course Matt taking an involuntary flying leap out a window. Claire finally confronts her adpotive dad H.R.G. and he serves up his reasonable explanation... he only wanted to protect his family. Ever ambiguous H.R.G.



Two Heroes will face off trailer:

Heroes Spoilers - "Run" Season 1, Episode 15

This is my Heroes spoilers blog for the next episode of Heroes - Season 1, Episode 15. The spoilers - y title is very meaningful, “Run”. Heroes heroes are on the run in this episode. As usual, lots of spoilers here blah blah blah so if you want to remain in suspense until the broadcast, stop reading now ...

Some Matt spoilers: Matt the mind reading suspended police officer needs to support his expectant wife, so takes a job as a bodyguard for an attorney Aron Malsky. Not many attorneys need bodyguards, so that is a real clue that something is wrong with that picture. However, Matt our Heroes hero I regret to say often is clueless and this is no exception. The attorney he works for is none other than Linderman’s thug who sprang Jessica/Nikki from prison in Heroes Distractions, season 1, episode 14, last week. Of course moral Matt catches on and finds himself the potential target of Linderman’s newest assassin – none other than Jessica. This puts Matt on the Run.

Jessica Spoilers: See above – Linderman having sprung her from jail now turns her out as an assassin over the heated objection of good superhero Nikki. She tosses Matt out the window and he puts a gun to her head. See it in the end of the preview below.

Mohinder Suresh Spoilers: Talk about clueless. Mohinder, the keeper of the top secret list of Heroes super heroes finds someone to trust as his new best friend. Unfortunately that turns out to be serial killer super heroes un-hero Sylar – who’s first victim was Mohinder’s father. Of course Mohinder has no idea. He knows someone named Sylar killed his dad, but does not have a photo. When he finds out, Mohinder is on the run.

Nathan spoilers: continues his quest to find Peter his flying brother, and run from his flaws.

Claire the indestructible Cheeleader spoilers: Meridith and Nathan, Claire’s bio father meet, and Claire plays hide and seek … Maybe just like in the NBC promotional photo with Claire crouched behind the car, but not directly confronting him ... ;)

Hiro Heroes Spoilers: Hiro and trusty (?) Ando continue on their quest for the sword. Of course, they are distracted by the beautiful damsel in distress. It turns out she packs a punch - literally speaking, which Hiro receives right in the kisser. Why the question mark after "trusty" for Ando? More to come on that point ... A hint is, Ando is loyal to Hiro, but who else too? That was revealed in Distractions. Think cologne.




Here is the official NBC press release spoilers for Heroes chapter 15, season 1:

“AS MATT AND SURESH FACE GRAVE DANGER, “

Matt from Jessica and Suresh from Sylar.

“THE SCANDALOUS TRUTH ABOUT CLAIRE'S REAL FATHER IS REVEALED -- CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON ("DR. WHO") AND JESSALYN GILSIG ("NIP/TUCK") GUEST STAR -- While the scandalous truth about Claire's real father is revealed, her adoptive mother (guest star Ashley Crow) faces a crisis. Matt (Greg Grunberg) takes a job as a bodyguard for a crooked attorney (guest star Aron Malsky), which puts him in the crosshairs of Linderman's new assassin. “

That assassin is Jessica / Nikki, Heroes dual personality.

“Hiro (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) and Ando (guest star James Kyson Lee) return to Las Vegas to find the sword, but get sidetracked by a damsel in distress (guest star Missi Pyle). “

She packs a punch.


“Meanwhile, Simone (Tawny Cypress) turns to some unlikely help in her and Nathan's (Adrian Pasdar) struggle to find Peter (Milo Ventimiglia).”


Have fun!

Heroes Episode Summary: "Distractions", Chapter 14, Season 1

Hiro confronting his "distractions" in "Distractions"

*Updated*

This is my Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog episode summary and spoilers clues for Chapter 14 of Heroes, Distractions - Season 1, Episode 14.

First, the obvious. One spoiler we repeatedly forecast was that Claire the cheerleader meets her biological mother with huge trepidation and wonder, as seen in the photo. And that happened, right in the trailer park, as Meridith and Claire bonded. Zach accompanied Claire to the trailer, but had the good sense to stand back as the superhero titans met, avoiding the possible fireworks, literally, after all dear old Mom is a very unstable firecracker ... er firestarter.

The big reveals of this episode were:

• Jessica / Nikki now is in Linderman's pocket
• Peter can remember powers
• H.R.G. thought Claude was dead
  
• Claire's biological father...

Nathan, Peter’s womanizing flying politician brother turns out to be as bad as everyone thought. The spoilers were a bit off on this one, but Nathan is Claire’s biological father, not H.R.G. or Linderman. That makes sense, since we already have seen infidelity from him, a clue to his checkered past. His attempts to suppress Peter, also another clue. His infatuation with a clean public persona also was a clue.

The mega spoiler is the rumor floated by the creators that Claire’s bio-dad is someone working with H.R.G. This means, Nathan is in league with H.R.G. if a real spoiler rather than misdirection.

Hiro wraps up his family "distractions" - Mr. Sulu, George Takai, aka Mr. Nakamura, and sister Kimiko, as the word "distractions" flashed on the screen (captured above, thanks Heroes-Wiki). Hiro’s dad is chairman of Yagamoto Industries, a conglomerate and is training Hiro from the ground up in business. Hiro's destiny awaits his return to Japan.

The big reveal is Kimiko, Hiro’s sister, and Ando is in looooooooooove with Kimiko. Did you notice he put on cologne to meet her? It turns out Mr. Nakamura cannot lure Hiro back and returns with Kimiko installed as his new heir, and Ando longing.

The spoiler is we have not seen the last of Kimiko, and expect more of her (and Ando) in Heroes Season 2 - unless her contract is not renewed ;) .

Jessica/Nikki the dual personality finally busts loose. Turns out elephant restraints cannot hold a Heroes superhero like Jessica. She breaks them like confetti and tasers the psychiatrist. Interestingly, Nikki/Jessica faints afterwards and is subdued. Sinister, and unseen Linderman doctors the evidence and she is exonerated of the murders, so she is freed by Linderman’s lawyer. Now she is owned by him. The spoiler for next week is that Linderman turns Jessica out as an assassin, and Jessica suppresses her good Nikki persona.

Claude Raines, the invisible man, has had his superpower for 15 years. He trained other Heroes, possibly Nathan. It seems the older Heroes heroes know or were associated with each other at one time. Claude knows H.R.G., and possibly Nathan. The Heroes spoiler for Chapter 15 of season 1 of the Heroes series (next week) is that H.R.G. thought Claude was dead, and teams up with Isaac to track him.

Claude is training Peter to retain his powers one at a time – first by clearing his head of negative attachments. He does that by trailing Simone, Peter’s present and Isaac’s former girlfriend. They track her to Isaac’s roof, where of course he sees, but does not hear Simone’s conversation with Isaac.

Peter misinterprets Simone’s embrace with Isaac as further infidelity, and finally is cleared of his attachments. Devilish Claude subscribes to the “sink-or-swim” school of Heroes superpower training, and pushes poor Peter off Isaac’s three-hundred foot tall building. Claude fully expects Peter will kick in brother Nathan’s Heroes flying superpower to save himself. Instead, Peter falls and falls and falls, and smashes into a taxicab – predicted by Isaac. No flying power! But Claire’s healing power kicks in just in time and Peter heals himself from the plunge.

Peter learns he can hold on to Heroes superpowers, by remembering the feeling they gave him and the person who donated them. He still needs to increase his sponge, i.e. retention ability.

Now, the creepy scene of the night, features Sylar in his Primatech Paper suit. He meets Mrs. Bennett and cute Mr. Muggles the dog. Mrs. Bennett teases us with H.R.G.’s still unknown name, and classically, Mr. Muggles’ chewing on Sylar’s shoelaces elicits a reprimand, rather than the name. Just as Sylar is about to kill Mrs. Bennett, the ever ambiguous H.R.G. arrives and shoots Sylar. I do not see how a gun can kill superhero Sylar, much less the Haitian who H.R.G. sends after him.

As usual, H.R.G. orders the Haitian to wipe Mrs. Bennett's memories … for the hundredth time leaving her a vacant Stepford wife. A faint wiff of memory remains, so the spoiler may turn out to be Mrs. Bennett.

The preview spoilers showed Mohinder unwittingly teaming up with Sylar, his dad's murderer. Although Mohinder knows the name "Sylar", he doesn't know the face and Sylar uses a false identity.

Claire Spoilers for Distractions and Heroes Previews

Heroes Spoilers ahead...

The upcoming Distractions episode of Heroes has a number of themes discussed in our earlier spoilers post.

One spoiler theme of course is "Meet the Parents", or more correctly, let's explore Claire the indestructible cheerleader's biological past. Claire has been naturally curious about her bio-parents. Whenever she or her adoptive Mom got too close in the past, controlling daddy H.R.G. (Mr. Bennett) arranged those brain cells to be erased by the Haitian mind-eraser. Now, Claire has broken out and is about to find out. The spoiler is that in Distractions, she meets her birth mother, played by Nip/Tuck's Jessalyn Gilsig. The meeting is shown in the first of the spoiler preview videos below.



In true Heroes fashion, the plot thickens when that happens, as TV Guide states. This will be a major theme of the February sweeps period, promises series creator Tim Kring, "a really big shocker. ... "We'll see the inciting incident that allowed him [H.R.G.] to gain possession of her."
