Heroes Spoilers - Kindness of Strangers - Season 2, Ep. 4

This is the Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog for episode 4 of Heroes season 2 on NBC TV. The episode is named "The Kindness of Strangers". More on that below, but first a bit about last episode, "Kindred" - Heroes episode 3. As usual, Heroes spoilers ahead, so stop reading if you do not want to know the future of Heroes, blah ... blah ... blah ...

Phat future?
The last few minutes of Heroes Kindred featured three blossoming Heroes romances:

• Romantic West and Claire at the beach, as shown in in the picture. Next week, in The Kindness of Strangers - ep. 4, West takes Claire on the much anticipated date to the Hollywood sign, via Air West of course.


• Amnesiac power sponge Peter Petrelli and Irish gangster Caitlin


• Reluctant hero Takezo Kensei and the princess. Possible love triangle twist since Hero decided to stay in ancient Japan only after he noticed the blossoming love between Kensei and the princess. Hiro either is jealous or worried that Kensei will mess up the romance Hiro started.

Maya and Alejandro Heroes Spoilers Clues: Maya helps Alejandro escape from the Mexican jail. They take along an American prisoner too, because he has a car. Did you notice... the car is Claire's Nissan that got stolen in episode 2. That American needs to escape, but not back to the U.S.A. Sylar eventually puts them all in danger, as he learns about the car, and where it might lead.

Nana
Heroes Spoilers blog Rumor has it that the creators of Heroes were searching for a new cast member with the screen presence of George Takai (Kaito Nakamura, Rip, aka Star Trek's Sulu). Coincidence is they found Nichelle Nichols - Lieutenant Uhura from the Star Ship Enterprise. Heroes paying tribute to Star Trek again. One down another born.

Lt. Uhura
Nichelle Nichols makes her entrance as Nana, a New Orleans grandmother, who lost a daughter in the Katrina hurricane. Post-Katrina, she and New Orleans rely on the Kindness of Strangers. Previously Nichols co-starred as the communications guru of the star ship Enterprise. Hiro ... come in Hiro ... can you hear me?

The trailer Heroes video for Kindness of Strangers has a few spoilers teasers for the episode. Molly the Heroes locator will be asked to locate the evil force worse than Sylar that is haunting her dreams - and threatens "them all". Molly says, "He is the nightmare man".

Who is this "nightmare man"? As reported in the National Enquirer it is Bob, the Company Man who turns metal into gold. He is the guy who is keeping a close eye on Mohinder too. If the Enquirer is correct, Bob is bigger than the baddie in the hoodie who pushed Kaito Nakamura (Hiro's dad) off the roof. Heroes Spoilers blog Suspect number 2 is Angela Petrelli. Why? Look closely at the clip below ... it is a woman. Either using a smaller actor / actress is clever misdirection by the powers that be, or Bob is not that killer.

H.R.G. figures out that Claire has a boyfriend. One thread focuses on Angela Petrelli, with part of her secrets revealed. The flashback has her and Hiro's dad together again?


Now for some Heroes Spoilers blog sarcasm: West's super-power is flying. Hmmmm who else has that power? Oh of course, that is Nathan, Claire's philandering biological father. Oh, and Claire and West are in the same grade. Another random coincidence... not. Hey Heroes producers: what exactly are you saying here?

The official NBC TV Heroes spoilers press-release for Kindness of Strangers is vague as usual, and beware of misdirection:

AS SECRETS ABOUT THE PREVIOUS GENERATION OF HEROES ARE REVEALED, A NEW HERO EMERGES IN POST-KATRINA NEW ORLEANS
While taking care of her brother Damon (guest star Carlon Jeffery), grandmother Nana (guest star Nichelle Nichols) and cousin Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey) between shifts at a local fast food joint, Monica Dawson (Dana Davis) begins to exhibit some unexpected new abilities.

That new Heroes hero would be Monica...

Angela Petrelli (guest star Cristine Rose) makes a shocking confession as new information about the previous generation of Heroes is revealed.

The Angela Petelli Heroes spoilers are that we start learning about Angela's powers, and the crimes she has committed. She is cagey and we learn more in future episodes.

With Molly's (guest star Adair Tishler) "boogyman" continuing to turn her dreams into nightmares, Matt (Greg Grunberg) asks her to put aside her fears and locate him on a map -- with terrible results.

Ominous. If Molly sees him, he sees her too.

Suspecting Claire (Hayden Panettiere) has a new boyfriend, H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) fears for the future. As they get closer to the U.S., Maya (Dania Ramirez) and Alejandro (Shalim Ortiz) make a grim discovery on the road.

The grim discovery looks like Sylar lying on the road. Thanks TLDietrich on this one.

Kindred Heroes Spoilers - Season 2, Ep. 3

This is the Heroes Spoilers blog for "Kindred" - Season 2, episode 3 of the Heroes TV show on NBC TV and other stations in the U.K., Australia, Europe and around the globe. The title of this episode is suitably named "Kindred" and Heroes continues exploring the relationships and history among the heroes with powers around the globe as well. Oh, ... as usual, Heroes Spoilers ahead, so stop reading now if you do not want to know the future ... blah ... blah ... yadda .... yadda ... yadda.

Clueless Mohinder Suresh Heroes Spoilers: Mohinder discovers another of the missing eight Isaac Mendez paintings. Again someone will die. And again the Deveux building is front and center as seen in the spoilers clip below. After Kaito Nakamura was assassinated, the Company renovated the space to put in a research lab. Just for Mohinder. The unshown Heroes spoilers here are, how did they do it so quickly? Mohinder is not so clueless after all as he is on to the ruse.

(Not a cockroach?)
Maya and Alejandro are separated again. So what does that mean? Well Maya's on her own and ready to kill with her deadly black stare. The NBC Heroes spoilers press release says she springs Alejandro from a Mexican jail, the ironic implication being a tie-over to their crossing the border illegally. Not THE border, but the border with Guatemala.

Claire, H.R.G. and West Heroes Spoilers: West finally takes Claire for their date to the beach, while H.R.G. the mild mannered copy shop guy heads out on a mission. West is from St. Louis. While there, he either was abducted by aliens or was bagged and tagged by Noah Bennett and the company. Romantic West kisses Claire, and what does she find? The company hickey, or actually the company's chip embed in romantic West's neck, right where Claire might otherwise have found a hickey. Whew, at least there isn't another woman in West's life.

Ando Heroes Spoilers: Ando knows more than let on. Repeatedly he has said that Hiro's father read Hiro the tales of Takezo Kensei. Why is this worth mentioning over and over? The answer is that Hiro's father Kaito Nakamura aka Sulu has been preparing Hiro for another of his destinies, and one not yet revealed. The official Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog rumor speculation is this involves Kensei in the present day - after all he is indestructible and survives long after Hiro's interactions with him in Japan.

Ando returns to his home in Tokyo Japan, and he receives communications from Hiro, from the past.

In Heroes Kindred it is rumored that super-villain Sylar makes his return to Heroes. It's in the trailer, so after all it must be true, right? Not necessarily, but in this case, let's go with it. When last seen, Sylar had been hit on the head with a parking meter by Jessica / Nikki, stabbed, spindled and otherwise defeated by the Heroes heroes, Hiro, H.R.G., Peter and company. He was just a cockroach crawling out of the sewer it seemed. But he's back, actor Zachary Quinto's contract renewed, and now a regular cast member, not just a guest. So we will see a lot more of Sylar in Heroes season 2. All this is "confirmed" in the National Inquirer, which we heard says Sylar kills Candace the reality shaper, but loses all his power after doing so. The Heroes spoilers are that is what Sylar thinks happens.

Jessica/Nikki and her son Micah are back in Las Vegas, and finally the scene from the pre-season Heroes trailer is broadcast - with Jessica/Nikki saying goodbye for now.

Peter Petrelli Heroes Spoilers: Peter is still in the grips of the Irish mob. Instead of just incapacitating them and taking his memories box back, he plays along with their heist. Peter is to incapacitate the guards and the gangsters will take down the armored car. You would think a super-hero could come in handy opening up the can. But we'll see what Peter really is up to.
