This is a Heroes Spoilers blog Heroes videos spoilers or not-so spoilers blog. NBC has leaked some Heroes sneak peaks videos that are kind of spoilers - y.
In the first one, the Heroes spoilers themes of Heroes season 3 are introduced an internal struggle between good and bad: Good will battle evil ... Because in every hero there could be a villain". The Peter spoilers are that we will see a lot more of dark brooding bad Peter, and good Peter too.
The second of the Heroes spoilers videos is narrated by none other than mamma Petrelli. She returns for Season 3 and is being given a lot of PR exposure by NBC, the Heroes spoilers being look for more Petrelli family drama in Heroes Season 3.
The third of the Heroes videos is not very spoilers - y, but there are some interesting things in there. The shadow of speedy Daphne is painted on the glass wall, and seems to be trying to catch up with her! Fast Daphne. Maybe Heroes spoilers in the quick shot of Peter. Check out the dark burglar - assassin gear. Who shot Nathan anyway?

Heroes Season 2, Eposide 7 Spoilers - Out of Time
This Heroes Spoilers update is dedicated to the people of California who experienced the firestorm of 2007 - thousands left homeless and hundreds of thousands temporarily evacuated, and also the Heroes Spoilers Blog heroes - the firefighters who flooded in from around the country to help out. Time for a real-life-based Heroes TV show fire-suppressor hero.
Now on to the spoilers for Heroes episode 7 of season 2, appropriately entitled, "Out of Time". As usual, Heroes spoilers ahead so if you don't want to time shift to the future stop reading now ... blah ... blah ... tada.
On to "Out of Time" spoilers... as the season 2 story starts to pick up, time becomes of interesting importance. Moving around time like Hiro and later on, Takezo Kensei appears in another timeline, as the adventures in ancient Japan storyline works its way to its conclusion. Later in the season Hiro returns and Ando has a romantic interest home in Japan. In "Out of Time", a character is out of time, like maybe the end of the Maya and Alejandro story. Not really, but the Heroes spoilers blog base of readers has never warmed to them, much less Heroes fandom in general. Nevertheless they will play important roles as the direction of Heroes season 2 becomes clearer.
Talking about the future of Season 2, mostly "Out of Time" refers to the glimpse into the future provided by Peter. The human race is out of time as the super-virus intensifies. Billions must die. In an eerie parallel with this week in California, Heroes' New York is evacuated. Time to save the world... again.
The ominous Heroes spoilers preview clip predicts 93% of the world's population dies:
A Heroes spoilers blog shout out to our friend ...er mole at TV Guide (really, actually ... or maybe a clever PR guru) who tipped us off that a Heroes cover story is set to hit the newsstands in a couple of weeks. They are pulling out the stops, with four different covers circulated. In the past when TV Guide did this the article provided some spoilers ... we'll see.
As usual, NBC TV released a Heroes spoilers press release with a fair share of hints, glimpses, and misdirection, on the future, "Out of Time":
WHILE SEVERAL HEROES FACE OFF AGAINST THE "NIGHTMARE MAN,” PETER LEARNS JUST HOW DEADLY THE VIRUS CAN BE -- When one of his forgotten abilities suddenly manifests, Peter and Caitlin get thrown into a crisis situation, and learn first-hand just how deadly the mysterious virus striking people with abilities can be.
Might that be time travel to the bleak future and then back to the past to change the future and save the world?
Suresh, Matt, Nathan, Niki and Bob band together to fend off the "nightmare man’s" attack.
Matt the Mindreader spoilers: Like father like son.
Despite Claire’s best efforts to keep them apart, West learns that the man who kidnapped him as a child is her father.
Nick and Noah Heroes Spoilers: Collision course.
Meanwhile, in feudal Japan, Hiro (Masi Oka) and Kensei’s (David Anders) legendary journey takes a dramatic, final turn.
Then, back to the future.

Heroes Spoilers: Season 2, Episode 1 - Four Months Later Spoilers
This is the Heroes Spoilers blog for Heroes Season 2, Episode 1, from NBC TV.
The first not so Heroes spoilers are that this episode premieres on September 24, 2007 - four months after the Heroes season 1 finale. The title is descriptive - Four Months Later - picking up the Heroes super-heroes four months after the explosion in the Season 1 finale. As the regulars of this Heroes spoilers blog know ... WARNING: Heroes TV show spoilers ahead ... stop reading now if you do not want to know the future of Heroes TV ... blah ... blah ... blah ...
(Claire the cheerleader's back ... Back for Heroes Season 2)Claire Heroes Spoilers: As the PR photo shows, Claire the super-healing cheerleader is back for Season 2. Imitating the real life Heroes Claire actress - Hayden Panattiere - we find a matured Claire for season 2 - four months older and ten years wiser, she is somber and introspective -- and happy. The Claire Heroes spoiler is, she has a new boyfriend. And not any old kid, a flying super hero. Just like her bio dad flying Nathan Petrelli. But Claire calls herself Claire Bennett after her adoptive father Noah Bennett aka H.R.G. - horn rimmed glasses. More HRG spoilers to come.
HRG - Noah Bennett Heroes Spoilers: Noah Bennett survived the explosion, had his contract renewed, and returns ever ambiguous for Heroes season 2. Even though we have a name for HRG now, Noah, he'll always be HRG in the hearts of the Heroes spoilers blog. What of Noah? He does re-unite with Claire in Season 2, despite his mind wipe at the hands of the kind of not so mute Haitian mind eraser super-hero.
(Teen Love in Hollywood - Fly West-ern)Hey, wait a minute Heroes spoilers blogger, what about Claire's super-flying boyfriend? :) Ok, that would be romantic West played by teen heart-throb Nick D'Agosto. West is always up for a flying date to the Hollywood sign to gaze at the stars or a roll in the sand at the beach. (Thanks justjared for the photo)
West Heroes Spoilers: The big Heroes spoilers about Claire's West actually are a Heroes spoilers first, a cross-over spoiler. West makes an appearance in episode 3 of Pushing Daisies on ABC, super-Heroes flying power and all. Pushing Daisies is a new series featuring a central character with Linderman-like super-curing super powers - he brings back dead people. More Pushing Daisies spoilers and news at a site we like called, SpoilersNews.com.
I'll be back.Sylar Heroes TV spoilers - Sylar is one tough cockroach. When last seen, Sylar seemed to be a cockroach climbing out of the sewer. Indeed he did climb out and straight into a contract renewal making Zachary Quinto a regular Heroes cast member. So, the evil brain-eating Heroes Hero of season 1 returns for Heroes season 2. But is he really alive? The spoilers is, of course we hear ... maybe.
A major season 1 cliffhangers was, why Nathan committed suicide by sweeping in and flying away with his exploding brother Peter Petrelli. The Heroes spoilers for season 2 are, don't believe it. ... Ever ambiguous Nathan lives to hang out with evil mamma Petrelli for more mayhem in Season 2. He swept away good Peter the power sponge, left him in the sky, jetted away, kabooooom the explosion. Peter lived too, but with a new Heroes season 2 haircut. After all, save the cheerleader ... save her healing powers ... save yourself ... and the world!
Turning Japanese)
Takezo Kensei Heroes Spoilers: One of he biggest spoiler surprises of season 2, episode 1 is Takezo Kensei. The picture is worth 1000 words. Uh... he's far far away from his safe Euro-American home. David Anders, playing the legendary samurai warrior - smaller in real life than legend.
However, the Hiro Heroes Spoilers are, have no fear, a Heroes Hiro hero is here to whip Takezo Kensei into shape so he can fulfill his destiny. Hiro spends much of season 2 (or chapter 2 - Generations as the Heroes creators are calling it) in ancient Japan, discovering himself, discovering a lovely princess, and helping Takezo Kinsei do the same. The big question of season 2, and a blockbuster spoiler in and of itself is, Is the Takezo Kinsei of legend actually past Hiro? Do we know, of course ... not (maybe) :)
Japanese)
Two Takezo Kensei's - the above from the Heroes season 1, episode 23 season finale - How to Stop an Exploding Man. Chased by the samurai army, this Kensei was saved by the season ending solar eclipse. He also looks remarkably like Sulu aka George Takai aka Mr. Nakamura - Hiro's Dad. Hmmmmm.
NBC TV put out a press release for the opening episode of Season 1, containing some veiled Heroes spoilers, and probably some mis-hints as well:
AS THE EMMY-NOMINATED "HEROES" RETURNS, THE EXTRAORDINARY STRIVE TO BE ORDINARY FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE EXPLOSIVE EVENTS IN NEW YORK, BUT DEADLY NEW THREATS LOOM AS BRAND-NEW INDIVIDUALS WITH ABILITIES EMERGE WORLDWIDE -- WRITTEN BY EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/CREATOR TIM KRING AND DIRECTED BY EXECUTIVE PRODUCER GREG BEEMAN
A series of new Heroes heroes will roll out starting with episode 1 of season 2.
As the second volume of "Heroes" begins, the fates of Peter (Milo Ventimiglia), Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) and Matt (Greg Grunberg) are revealed, following the horrible showdown with Sylar (Zachary Quinto) and Peter's uncontrolled nuclear detonation miles above New York City.
They all live and return. Sylar too, but ambiguously evil for season 2.
As everyone attempts to move on, a new sinister force begins stalking and murdering Heroes.
The Heroes spoilers behind this statement is that Season 2, or more correctly Chapter 2 - the first half of sesaon 2 - reveals a new dark sinister evil Heroes anti-hero. This is the force cute Molly the hero locating kid detected in the Season 1 finale. This character is unfinished business of the older generation - Linderman, Mama Petrelli and all - and it is up left to the younger generation to deal with.
With the family hiding in Southern California, H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) and Claire (Hayden Panettiere) attempt to live as inconspicuously as possible…which proves to be easier said than done. Meanwhile, after landing in feudal Japan, Hiro (Masi Oka) meets his hero Takezo Kensei (David Anders).
Don't count of Claire and H.R.G. leading a normal inconspicuous life.
Twins Maya (Dania Ramirez) and Alejandro Herrera (Shalim Ortiz) hope to make the crossing into the U.S. from Mexico, in hopes of finding help with their deadly abilities.
New characters... I hope this is not another stereotypical TV attempt to tie-in with the immigration issue ... puuulleease NBC Heroes powers!!
Dana Davis, Noah Gray-Cabey, James Kyson Lee, Ali Larter, Sendhil Ramamurthy also star. Nick D'Agosto, Lyndsy Fonseca, Cristine Rose, Barry Shabaka Henley, George Takei, Eriko Tamura and Adair Tishler guest star.
Ali Larter ... of course the Jessica/Nikki dual personality. She's back, but is she still bad... of course.

Heroes Spoilers: Season 1, Episode 19 - ".07%"
This is my preliminary Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog spoilers summary for the post-break Episode 19 of Heroes. The title has been leaked as ".07%" or 7 per-cent as some say (more correctly 7 hundredths of a per-cent). The NBC broadcast schedule has this episode set for initial broadcast April 23, 2007. But a lot of spoilers have rolled out, so we can provide some suspense relief... As usual, stop reading blah blah blah if you do not want to know the futures of Heroes ...
H.R.G., Matt the mindreader and Ted the radioactive guy Heroes Spoilers: They are all in custody of Primatech Paper - the company, of PrimatechPaper.com fame. There the ambiguously evil honcho portrayed by Eric Roberts and his hench person sly shape shifting Candace have a plan. However, they do not plan on Matt's stunning recovery from cluelessness and again this episode Matt uses Heroes super power to get something done. This time he uses it to aid in H.R.G.'s escape escape, memories in tact.
Major Nathan and Linderman Heroes Spoilers ahead. Watch out ... Nathan was last seen in the Corinthian Las Vegas Hotel (CorinthianLasVegas.com) speaking with Linderman in the kitchen of the Corinthian. He is deciding whether to shoot, and electes to put down the gun. 
Big Linderman spoilers reveal: In the gallery Linderman taunts Nathan with the visions of Isaac Mendez, and Nathan confronts Linderman over the painting of the explosion in New York. Linderman replies ambiguously that it does show the way to a brighter future. Linderman it seems is a megalomaniac, using any means to his evil end. Another big spoilers reveal .... Linderman has powers too, and he runs an organization of other Heroes with super powers. Linderman in the penultimate moment reveals the painting readers of this blog saw weeks ago - Nathan standing on the carpet in the oval office of the White House - in an Isaac the future painter painting. So, Linderman's twisted vision of Nathan arriving a "heartbeat" from the presidency, is that a lot of people must die... so many that Nathan winds up at the top of the order of succession.
Peter Heroes spoilers: Linderman also ambiguously hints that it is not Peter who causes the explosion in New York. A good article on a preview of the spoilers is at ComicBook Resources
Peter and Sylar Heroes Spoilers: When last seen in "Parasite", Chapter 18 of Heroes, Peter and Sylar were facing off, with Mohinder dangling from the ceiling watching. Peter does live, but one spoiler from eonline.com columnist Kristin, is that Peter's head gets shaved, and he gets the scar foretold by future Hiro. Sylar flies, out a window...
In case you missed it, here is a promo spoilers trailer for episode 19:

Heroes Spoilers Clues: "Parasite", Season 1, Episode 18
Heroes Spoilers clues summary: Meet the shape-shifter, Ando's rousing return, samurai-sword-meet-Hiro, Hiro-meet-samurai-sword, Nathan a heartbeat away, Linderman in the house, Mohinder finally gets a clue then gets stapled to the ceiling, and Peter Petrelli gets sliced ... details below.
Most revealing Heroes spoilers quote:
"What they will do not even you can recover from." The Haitian to Claire.Runner-up:
"Don't worry I know how to play dumb". Sandra Bennett (Mrs. H.R.G.) not as vacant as previously deceived.
This is the Heroes TV Show Spoilers and clues episode summary of the interesting twists and turns for Heroes "Parasite" - Season 1, Episode 18 of Heroes on NBC TV. The Heroes schedule is set and Heroes returns next on April 23. We have a backlog of Heroes spoilers and will roll them out over the coming weeks. Episode summary continues below ...
Candace Heroes Spoilers: Sly creepy Candace makes a rousing entrance in to the Heroes universe as a the new illusionist, shape-shifter Heroes hero. Candace is on the Primatech Paper team of PrimatechPaper.com fame - with Eric Roberts, a slew of thugs, and soon Matt the mind reader too - as soon as his attitude is adjusted.
Clearly Sandra Bennett (“Mrs.”) is back strong, but which one? First time when H.R.G. confides in her, she was the real one, with her memories in tact this time. She has been playing H.R.G. for a long time. One thing is for sure, she is not dumb. Second time we see Mrs. Bennett, it is really sly Candace. She extracts a confession from H.R.G. - he really remembers Claire - and in comes the Primatech Paper crew to "clean up". The spoilers - y conclusion is, we will see H.R.G. after the break, in custody.
Mr. Muggles Heroes Spoilers: Mr. Muggles is on vacation this week, but not his bark. Sandra Bennett has her cell phone set to "ring" with a Mr. Muggles sound. The clue to creepy Candace was, her cell phone rings, not barks. We will see more of Mr. Muggles :)
Cleaning up spoilers clues: Nathan calls police on Isaac, to clean up Peter's mess (involvement in Simone's death), Isaac calls H.R.G. for help to clean up the Simone mess, Sylar calls Isaac to eat his brain, messy. It turns out clever Candace arrives as Simone, diverting the police, and the Primatech Paper clean up crew comes later.
Isaac Heroes Spoilers: Isaac the painter takes some heroin again and paints his own death. His head is sliced open, just like the future Hiro saw - confirmation that Isaac's future does not change.
Hiro and Ando Heroes Spoilers: Unlike Isaac, Hiro can and will change the future. Oh by the way, what a rousing return of Ando, huh? At the moment of peril, they grab the samurai sword, Hiro has his confidence back, and he leaps with Ando to the future. They arrive on top of the Devereaux Building (appropriately French) where they spy a corner of Manhattan - New York City - bombed out. Looks too small to be an A-bomb much less an H-bomb. But a lot of destruction anyway. However, Heroes Season 1 is all about changing that vision of the future. Episode 20 spoilers (coming up April 30): takes place at that time 5 years in the future. Fasten your seat belt for the wild ride. From the scene shown above, with reconstruction, it looks like Hiro at least had some success in reducing the scope of the explosion, so far.
Angella Petrelli and Haitian Heroes Spoilers and Clues: Angela Petrelli is the mother of Heroes - Peter and Nathan, and Claire’s grandmother. Angela is in charge, at least of the Haitian - and has been working to protect Claire all along, with the Haitian as her mole in the Primatech Paper team. This is the second time she appeared, and her secret power is … well to speak bad French. Zap it into the super instantaneous Heroes Spoilers translator and out comes … "At least she’ll be safe now, but no thanks to you [Mr. Haitian]". The Haitian’s says, "I did everything I could; she would have found her own path eventually". After all … Save the Cheerleader … Save the World. We must save Claire’s memories. Done … saved her from team Primatech Paper. Next the world, at the end of Heroes Season 1.
Claire Heroes Spoilers clues: Claire tells the Haitian, "Peter Petrelli is the only person I can trust." Peter will not be the person blowing up the world, as in his dream. Peter can be trusted. Another Claire Heroes super power is revealed ... she can pick pockets ;)
Jessica / Nikki: Finally Nikki comes out in the Nick of time and Nathan is saved from sure assassination by Jessica. Unfortunately the two FBI agents were not so fortunate.
It's so much easier working with professionals - JessicaNikki tips off husband D.L. that something is wrong with his lovely wife. The spoilers are, D.L. goes on her trail.
Invisible Peter spoilers clues: Isn’t invisibility neat? Peter is the proverbial fly on the wall now that he learned invisibility from Claude (Dr. Who). He's in the room with Nathan getting wired by federal agents. This is a transformation experience, as finally Nathan is furthering the common good.
Nathan makes his way to Linderman, and instead of turning him in or shooting, he makes a deal with the devil to become "a heartbeat away" from President ... or does he? So Nathan's future is to become Congressman, then when the bomb goes off so many people die, that Nathan moves up on the order of succession to the presidency.
And, the best for last: The Heroes TV show spoilers blog has referred to Mohinder as "clueless", deservedly. He remains clue-less to the end. It almost looks like he catches on and poisons Sylar. Ooops, he forgot to check the IV tube, and Sylar pops loose. Last we see of Mohinder is he's on the ceiling, for the Peter Petrelli Power Sponge Heroes Spoilers ... Sylar is getting ready to eat Peter’s yummy brain.
Cliffhanger spoilers: Does Peter live? Has Claude helped him to gain sufficient control over all his powers? Does he remember Claire’s super-healing power in time? YES, Peter lives to fight another day.
Ok, Spider-man 3 really isn't part of Heroes, or is it? This week NBC teamed up the Heroes comic book series with the Spider-man 3 comic book movie, a match made in spoilers heaven...
NBC provided a 24 hour open window into the Spiderman 3 universe: Click to view the NBC Spider-man 3 spoilers video. Heroes meet superhero. The preview provided some neat clues about the upcoming blockbuster. The Spider-man 3 spoilers are that Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) has a breathtaking chase scene with his nemesis Eddie Brock. In Spider-man 3, Spidey is altered by an alien organism and wears the grey spiderman suit.
Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man love spoilers:

Heroes Spoilers: "Parasite", Season 1, Episode 18
Updated: New Heroes spoilers added from Judith. (March 5)
This is the Heroes TV Spoilers blog for "Like A Parasite", Heroes Chapter 18, season 1. What might that parasite be, and who is like it? And also, our standard disclaimer is … Heroes spoilers ahead so if you want to remain in suspense until Mondays, you know blah blah blah stop reading now. …
This is a major cliffhanger episode. Think as big as, ... does Sylar kill Peter or visa versa. The new Heroes episode is six weeks later on April 23. To make up for the hiatus, NBC TV invites Heroes fans to log on after the broadcast to NBC.com, and watch a 6-minute preview of Spiderman 3 - Heroes the blockbuster introducing a new comic book superhero blockbuster. Spiderman of course features Peter Parker (initials P.P. like Peter Petrelli) and his alter-ego Spiderman.
Now to the episode Heroes Spoilers: This episode gets us back to Heroes' comic relief superhero Hiro, and his quest for the sword. Read our earlier posts to see the sword in Linderman's private collection at CorinthianLasVegas.com. Scroll down or follow this link to Hiro Heroes Samurai Sword Spoilers at Corinthian Hotel. Comic Hiro meets up with flying straight man Nathan and the inevitable Japanese - English language gap shows up. Nyuk nyuk.
Nathan Heroes Spoilers: How exactly do Hiro and Nathan meet up? Well, heading to the same place in Las Vegas, Linderman's inner sanctum. Law enforcement agents want to put a wire on Nathan in order finally to get enough evidence on Linderman's corruption. Peter, using Claude's invisibility power, hears the whole conversation, like a fly on the wall. Likewise, Linderman is not stupid and knows the plan, so it is destined to fail. Nathan is heading to meet up with his backer in order to come back from trailing by 4% in his election race. Linderman can close the gap, for a price.
As readers of this Heroes Spoilers blog knew weeks ago, Linderman has taken out a hit on Nathan and Jessica the dual personality assassin is tracking him down. Nathan evades her, and gets throught to Linderman who confronts him. Either die of become President, what a choice? We know from the secret Nathan painting at CorinthianLasVegas.com that Nathan winds up in the White House. Whether the painting means he wins his election and eventually becomes President of the United States is unclear. What is clear is that at least he gets to stand on the carpet at the White House.
Linderman Heroes Spoilers: We see Linderman - a parasite - for the first time, in a nicely tailored suite, white hair and trimmed beard. Here is a preview with some nice teasers, including Linderman:
Hiro and Ando Heroes Spoilers: Did you see Ando in the promo? He has a badge. Looks like Hiro superhiro is not alone after all. Daddy Sulu would not permit that. Hiro lays hands on the samurai sword and starts regaining his Heroes superpower confidence. Indeed Hiro and Ando are teaming up again both transport to the future to escape danger at the hands of Linderman's thugs. Also it looks like Simone can take a lickin' but keep on tickin'.
Mohinder and Sylar Heroes Spoilers: Well, Mohinder progresses but maybe not as clue - less as always. He is determined to lead Sylar to thousands of Heroes super power heroes. He now has his genius dad's computer program running and he can locate the people with powers using the program. Sylar of course is eager like a little puppy dog to help out. Sylar smells brains, yummy. Mohinder also takes a blood sample from Sylar. What it reveals, could lead either to his demise and the end of the buddy trek.
Sylar and Peter Petrelli Heroes Spoilers: Sylar tracks down the superhero with the tastiest of brains, Peter Petrelli.
Here are some pretty revealing spoilers clips from the episode, which is on YouTube via Access Hollywood, including:
- Peter and Isaac Heroes Spoilers in the aftermath of Isaac's reckless shooting of Simone
- H.R.G. being de-briefed by his boss played by Eric Roberts. H.R.G. has had a lot of his memories zapped by the Haitian mind eraser super hero. The big spoiler... H.R.G. originally declined to adopt Claire, but he did and now is protecting her.
- The Feds and Nathan hatching a plan to frame Linderman
- Still clueless Mohinder and puppy dog "can my DNA help?" Sylar,
- Hiro meets Nathan again
- Claire and the Haitian... Claire wants to track down Peter Petrelli, the "only man" she can trust.
The "official" spoilers press release from NBC has some different information this week. As usual these press releases from the network are meant to be teasers, and sometimes contain misdirection, so take them, and any spoilers with a grain of salt:
DEATH, DUPLICITY, AND TERRIBLE GLIMPSES OF THE FUTURE SHAKE THE "HEROES" -- LINDERMAN IS REVEALED AND NEW "HERO" CANDICE WILMER (GUEST STAR MISSY PEREGRYM) DEBUTS
This means, we see Linderman for the first time. Isaac makes a new painting and it's unsettling. And, Hiro can travel to the future, thanks Judith from Heroes TV Show Spoilers.
With the election and NYC's destruction looming, Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) has a disturbing face-to-face meeting with the shadowy Linderman. Hiro's (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) attempt to steal the sword steers him into a grim new direction.
Nathan leads Hiro to the samurai sword in Linderman's secret collection.
Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) makes a breakthrough on "the list" -- at great cost. D.L. (Leonard Roberts) begins to suspect all is not well at home.
We see fan favorites Jessica / Nikki.
New "hero" Candice Wilmer (guest star Missy Peregrym) makes an illusive debut.
Note this is spelled with an "i" not an "e", "illusive". This is deliberate. Think illusionist.

Heroes Episode Summary: "Distractions", Chapter 14, Season 1
*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."
There are a lot more spoiler clips floating around the Internet now. Here are the ones we found:

Heroes Spoilers: "The Fix" - Season 1, Episode 13
This is my spoilers blog for the next episode of Heroes - Season 1, Episode 13, which is called "The Fix". As usual, if you want to remain in suspense until the broadcast, stop reading now ...
I will post an episode summary of this episode, with the clues and hints after it is broadcast.
As reported here a month ago, George Takai, who is Sulu of Star Trek fame joins the cast of Heroes as time shifting Hiro's Dad from Japan (Takai is in the middle of the photo). He portrays is a stern man, and the role presented challenges for Takai, requiring him to speak in the Japanese language. He plays a significant figure - one of power in the business world in Japan.
Reportedly Takai is signed for a three-episode stint, meaning we can expect Hiro's dad's presence for the middle of Season 1. His mission is to take Hiro home to Japan. He's had hints of Hiro's power and wants to spare him the burden. Here at the Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog are rooting for Hiro to stay, and are confident that ratings demand it!
Moreover, in Season 2, action will periodically shift to Japan.
NBC also has released its official episode guide for The Fix. As usual, beware of misleads and vague hints in it. They report that Hiro is being pursued by assailants unknown in his quest for the samurai sword of destiny. And, suddenly his father (Sulu, aka George Takei) appears.
Now drug-free Issac dedicates himself to stopping New York's destruction -- and Peter's.
Claire, the indestructible Cheerleader, "embarks on a search for her true birth parents" while keeping the mission secret from her overly controlling father H.R.G. Look for Claire to learn astounding facts about them in Episode 14. Here is a teaser: At least one of her biological parents is an employee of infamous Primatech Paper, with H.R.G. And, we have seen that character in a previous episode. A big spoiler is to expect Claire to track down at least her biological mother in The Fix, or in the next episode, and Tim Kring the creator of Heroes has promised that Claire will find her biological mother played by Jessalyn Gilsig living in an Airstream in a trailer park in The Fix. Beware of spoilers misdirection!
Claude (Dr. Who, aka Christopher Eccleston), is the invisible pickpocket guy, who may be in a position to play an imperfect Yoda to Peter's power sponge. Claude has been living with his powers for a while and has knowledge of what "really" is going on. He will not reveal that knowledge in The Fix, but look for it to be hinted at by his confidence.
D.L. - the husband of Nikki/Jessica struggles with new family responsibilities, namely bringing up a superpower kid of his own.
Matt the mind reader opens up to his wife Janice who seems very pregnant.
H.R.G. - Jessica the Cheerleader's dad focuses on his captive Sylar, as in last weeks episode.
"While working to find those on "the list," Suresh receives a surprising visitor" - how's that for vague?

Heroes Spoiler Season
From the teaser trailer and some other super secret hidden sources maybe, we've now isolated a few more spoilers.
Niki, half of the the dual personality with Jessica, is informed by her lawyer or someone really official looking that the prosecution is going for the death penalty. It is not clear whether it is her, her disappearing husband D.L., or Ted the radioactive guy who they want offed. The last we see of Niki in the ad is an injection and her lying face down in a padded mental hospital room.
Most chilling is Mohinder saying to Nathan the congressman that his brother Peter is the most important person on the entire list. Peter the power sponge is the key, as we have said before.
Claire's increasingly less creepy dad H.R.G. (horn rimmed glasses) joins with Mohinder to form an alliance. As seen in the publicity photo at left, H.R.G. says, here's my card, let's do lunch. We do not know if Mohinder is being used now, since we still have not learned who H.R.G.'s puppet master is. After all, it is no coincidence that indestructible Claire wound up being "adopted" by H.R.G.
Hiro has a naively presented interaction with Nathan, where Nathan cannot get his accent. This carries the theme of bringing Nathan into acceptance of his super flying power.

Matt and Claire Spoilers
The Heroes spoilers are rolling in to Heroes TV Show Spoilers central now that we are getting some buzz. 
Buzz? Like a cute bumble bee buzz?
Not what we had in mind, but that buzz is for another day…stay tuned.
As for the spoilers, they will keep rolling out of the inner sanctum to hype the January 22 mid-season Heroes premiere. As soon as we fully interrogate and vet each spoiler we will post them here ... keep checking. After all we need to maintain our track record of 100% accuracy. Seriously, not, our hit rate is not looking around 99.9%. How’s that for innovative grammar ? ;)
Without further introduction, here are the new spoilers:
If she had not yet figured it out, Matt's wife finally gets clued in as he confirms all her suspicions that there is something going on in his head. More correctly in her head since it's Matt who is there reading her mind at will. All those secrets she has really are not. She’s been bad and he knows it but also has guilt.
Claire, daughter of HRG (Mr. Horn-Rimmed-Glasses), of course spends some real quality time with the mind erasing "Haitian" superhero. Finally she blurts out she wants to meet Peter Petrelli. Why is that? Well Peter the power sponge is the key, and Claire needs to save the world. As loyal readers of the Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog already know, "Save the cheerleader .. Save the world" means a lot more than just saving Claire’s life. It means saving her Heroes memories. HER superpowers are needed to help save the world – and she needs to be kept safe from rampaging Sylar on the loose. Getting close to power sponge Peter Petrelli is a key, so he can use her healing powers, and at the necessary time Ted the radioactive guy's radiation. And Voila, world is saved! Or maybe destroyed if the dream is really what it seemed to be – which we doubt.

Heroes Season 1 Spoilers
Not Episode-Specific
Here are some general Heroes Season 1 spoilers that I've identified for the remainder of the season. In the coming weeks I'll be expanding these Heroes spoilers a lot as we gather more information.
The bare bones of the spoilers are laid out by Tim Kring in an interview. If you haven't noticed he's the guy who pops up on the title card of Heroes as the creator. So he probably has a pretty good crystal ball. On the other hand, laying out some misdirection may help with PR, so take these spoilers with a grain of salt. Also, as a creator associated with the show, he had to be pretty vague, but we have been able to fill in some of the blanks.
Claire will go through the season pretending to her father H.R.G that she does not remember her superpowers. In reality she does remember them and this leads to a pretty tense home-life for her, until she leaves eventually to help with saving the world. As we said before, "Save the Cheerleader" meant not only to save her life, but also to save Claire's memories.
One theme of the remainder of the season will be “Are you on the List?”. NBC was running "List" promos during the New Year's Day football games. This refers to the list now possessed by Mohinder, but assembled by his father the obsessed Indian professor. I'm wondering if this will last as the theme of the remainder Season 1 of Heroes, or whether a new slogan will be rolled out later. Not the compelling punch that “Save the Cheerleader ... Save the world” had. Nevertheless, Mohinder’s continuing pursuit of the superheroes on the List will be a recurring theme of his mission to assist them, putting his own life in grave danger.
And yes, Mohinder gets converted into a full-fledged member of the Heroes gang. Not necessarily with superpowers, but aiding them.
The samurai sword is another Heroes spoiler. We know Hiro the Hero winds up as a modern day samurai warrior, but how does he do that. We will find out in a few episodes as Hiro tracks down the meaningful weapon in his quest for the sword.
Christopher Eccleston (aka Dr. Who) will play a character who becomes the Yoda to Peter’s Luke Skywalker.
Ted Sprague, the radioactive guy, will reappear soon. We knew he had to because his radioactive power absorbed by power sponge Peter seems to be a cause of the explosion in the dream sequence cliffhanger.
Terrorism: Thankfully the show’s creators have had the good sense not to pursue this as the theme of the explosion in New York. That would have torpedoed the show’s popularity faster than you can say Osama Bin Laden. Instead, the focus has to do with Ted the radioactive guy. This may be an unsubstantiated rumor as we have not been able to verify it yet.
