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.

Heroes Chapter 13: "The Fix" Episode Summary

This is my Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog episode summary of the interesting twists and turns for Chapter 13 of Heroes, The Fix.

This was a fast-paced episode of Heroes, difficult even to keep up. Ok, first with what is obvious to regular readers of this blog: Star Trek's George Takai made his premiere as Hiro's dad - fresh from Japan to track down his Heroes Hiro superhero son.

Zack, Claire’s computer guru sidekick is convinced again. So Claire is worth having as a friend, just like study-buddies in the photo. Huh? I never was convinced that a teenage boy like Zack would turn down Claire the cute cheerleader as in the Godsend episode of Heroes last week. So finally the universe has been fixed, in The Fix.

Peter has the good sense to escape from Nathan, his flying brother, and Mohinder who wants to "fix" him. Mohinder is sounding more and more like a problem… he wants to “study” and “help” the superheroes, just like ambiguous H.R.G. It will be much more interesting in coming episodes to watch Peter and the invisible man Claude Raines. I love Claude’s story. Invisibility, how intriguing…much less with invisible clothes! Conventional invisibility requires the hero to strip down to be invisible. Not Claude and Peter the power sponge. Their clothing becomes invisible too. No need to fix that.

Hiro is powerless without his magic samurai sword. Actually, the spoiler is that it is all just psychological. Hiro THINKS he is powerless and therefore he becomes powerless. He only needs to regain his confidence. Hiro retains the power to bend time, just has lost his confidence to use it.

Back in the top-secret underground facility of Primatech Paper in Odessa, Texas: Sylar played dead and now H.R.G. of horn rimmed glasses fame is in a whole world of hurt – stuck in a room with Sylar, Heroes’ bad boy. We all have assumed he has no powers, and if he does not he now is at Sylar’s mercy. On the other hand, Sylar murders for the purpose of learning how you tick … how your Heroes superpower works, so he can absorb it himself. Now if H.R.G. has no power as everyone believes, then perhaps he will not be killed by Sylar as he has nothing to offer.

Claire’s mother is Meredith Gordon – a firestarter. It is not surprising that Claire’s mother has a power too. What is surprising is that she gave up Claire willingly despite her superpower. As soon as Claire hangs up, her mother calls her biological father, and we are promised you won't believe who he is. Here at the Heroes spoilers blog, we know :) Either H.R.G. or someone close to him.

Micah, the son of Nikki/Jessica and D.L. – has the ATM power. Talk about profitable.

Matt the mind reader and pregnant Janice. The spoiler is that he is uncertain whether the baby is his. After all, she had an affair just before the pregnancy. My read of her body language is that she has no guilt, at least about the baby, so pure speculation, not spoiler, is that the baby probably really is Matt's. Can’t wait to see what power the baby has, but the spoiler is we all will have to wait for Season 2 to learn if at all. By the way, I wish Matt would stop whining and do something productive with his superpower. Being able to read minds is nothing to ignore.

Jessica / Nikki gets psychiatric treatment after D.L. sneaks through the walls in her padded cell for a visit. In the last scene, the psychiatrist insists that Nikki let violent Jessica speak with her. The spoilers are: Not a good idea. Jessica wants out and this presents an opportunity.

There are 36 people on the Heroes list compiled by Professor Chandra Suresh, Mohinder’s dad. Who might they be? Are you on the List?
