We start with NO MONOLOGUE, which is I think a first for Heroes and I cannot say I am unhappy about it. It's nice to let the people speak for themselves for once rather than letting someone boring *coughMonhidercough* speak for them. I believe someone in the writers room has finally taken the thinking stick to Tim and he is now aware that his viewers are not complete and total morons, lets see if it sticks shall we.
Anyway we see everyone going about their daily lives and learn Peter's is still sad, some deaf woman named Emma is seeing colors as sound and Claire is avoiding her creepy new lesbian friend. Oh and apparently Samuel is putting on a suit to go out and capture Peter because Peter is a replacement for Joseph. I stare at Robert so much during this scene that I miss what's being said. That man really knows how to wear clothes bad accent or not.
Samuel trots off to test Peter and we move onto Claire for a bit. She does her best to avoid Gretchen but Noah, well meaning dad that he is ruins that by inviting both girls out to lunch. Ah Bennet's and their awkward family meals that echo my own life. Seriously a friend's father invited me to dinner during my own college years and it was this bad, right down to spitting the food into my napkin. Anyway, Noah finds out Gretchen knows about the not dying thing and at once whips out his penis aka cell phone to call Bob the Haitian to fix it.
Claire, who's awesome corresponds to her hair, nips that in the bud saying she'll handle it herself, which she does by confessing all. I know how this is going to go, but the shipper in my still believes in hearts, flowers and butterflies dammit. Anyway, Claire confesses and she and Gretchen are now roommates.
Matt continues to hear Head Sylar as he and his partner go after the drug dealer from the last episode. Matt blah, blahs about ignoring Sylar then proceeds to lose it because SYLAR BACK ENDS HIS OWN POWER ON HIM. Say what you will about the bad science and what not, if I were Head Sylar and bored I would do the same thing. And with how high and freaking mighty Matt has been acting the man deserved it. Although, Sylar honey using Molly as the dead girl's body was not cool, see if you ever get any from Mohinder again for that.
Speaking of Mohinder, still no sign of our former P.H.D./lizard man and also no sign of Hiro and Ando either, which makes me sigh in delight. Masi and James must be off having a little "talk" with the writers about how handle their own creations. Godspeed boys may the writing gods be with you.
Anyway, back to Matt, he flips out, beats up a guy, his partner calls him on it and Matt gets out of it by using his mind mojo. *sighs* You know what Matt, I really used to love you and stuff, but I have decided to fast forward through your plot lines until Sylar hooks back up with Nathan, not even ZQ's awesome acting can save this sinking ship.
And finally Peter my lovely hot mama gets sued by Samuel of all people. Peter freaks out and does all he can to prove there is no reason for him to get sued, which in turn does two things. One: It makes him look like a glory hound to all his co-workers and Two: brings him into contact with Emma, the deaf seeing color woman. I am pleased to see a real deaf woman playing a deaf person, I would have had to hurt someone if they'd chosen a hearing actress for the role.
However, the cello scene confused me, was Emma born deaf or did she at one point hear and play music. Because if it is more bad science at work here, I may have to borrow Claude's thinking stick and bean the writers with it.....hard. Just because she can see the notes she playing does not mean, SHE CAN PLAY THE CELLO IF SHE NEVER DID BEFORE.
Peter is wowed by all this, and decides to zip off to confront Samuel. They have so much sexual tension I yell. "Kiss dammit," at the screen several times and Peter convinces Samuel aka William Hooper to visit his home. Meanwhile I wonder if Samuel/Joseph is the replacement Nathan/Peter and find I'm not upset by that prospect.
Samuel goes home, which turns out to be this mansion his parents worked at back in the day. He very nicely asks to look around and rich housewife blows him off. This in turn makes Samuel give an evil little smile that sends shivers down my spine and he proceeds to put the mansion and all the party goers...IN A FRIGGING SINKHOLE.
*looks at Arthur Petrelli* And that sir is how villainy on Heroes should be done, Samuel needs to start giving out lessons.
See you all next week!
