Points:

• Claire and Gretchen have a heart to heart while being hunted for Hell Week
• Jeremy the Healer in Cainan:
  • Noah and Tracey have a heart to heart over Jeremy
  • Tracey and Samuel have a heart to heart over Jeremy
  • Jeremy has a heart to heart with some village person, then the deputy ties him to a truck
  • Noah and Tracey have a parting of hearts and Tracey is off to join the circus
  • Samuel skips the heart to heart and just crushes the deputy (and the whole police station) into little parts
• Matt and Sylar and Janice make three:
  • Sylar and Janice have a heart to heart; Sylar rides Janice’s body while riding Matt’s body
  • Matt and Sylar have a heart to heart and bond over some alcohol, but the bonding only works for Sylar as Matt becomes unglued..

Show Notes:

• Sylar finds himself in the Hall of Mirrors, although people like Edgar find him wanting; Samuel finds Sylar to be a wonderful opportunity; we find out that the Carnival is apparently a Christian thin.
• Claire finds quarters for her laundry at Noah’s place; Peter finds Noah by becoming a master of space and time; Noah finds a calling by finding a boy with healing powers for Peter
• Hiro finds a purpose by helping Emma find wonder and hope in her power; then he finds himself in Charlie country
• We all find ourselves wondering: whatever happened to Matt & Brainy Sylar? And why doesn’t Peter take the full power of being a Master of Space and Time? And why doesn’t Peter get nosebleeds?

Points:

• Nathan shows off to his little brother.
• Sylar digs up Nathan’s past due to Mama Petrelli’s interference -- and ends up getting buried for her past interference in his past.
• Peter seeks advice from Noah about something that he can’t see any more. (He should know that tattoos don’t work for him by now!)
• Noah gets advice from his daughter, who has taken over the parenting role.
• Tracey gets her groove back -- er, her old life back, then realizes that Yoda Noah is right about how shallow her old life was.
• Hiro tries to save Takashi’s butt -- multiple times -- but instead learns a valuable lesson: stop being a butt-head!
• Edgar and Lydia have a chat - about Samuel. But he’s got his soul patch back, so he’s serious again.
