Sorry it's been so long since I put up a new post. I have been watching the show, and I've got back to back notes on the last two episodes. Highlight below to see more:
Nathan handles the opening narrative this time rather than Mohinder. I don't know if that is significant or not, but it is a first for the series. Anyway, Nathan is still trying to work out the details of how Linderman knew that Tracy would jump from the bridge. Linderman just claims something about God as if he might be an angel or something sent to help Nathan find his way. Of course, we know differently since we saw Maury walking around Pinehurst toward the end of the episode. Obviously, Maury is planting the image of Linderman in Nathan's head to get him positioned for his current boss: Mr. Arthur Petrelli.
Nathan and Tracy both find out in conversations with Angela, though, that God has nothing to do with this. Angela explains that Dr. Zimmerman worked for the company and that he specialized in creating synthetic powers. He was instrumental in giving both Tracy and Nathan their powers. Nathan and Tracy are both very upset over this and decide to go visit Mohinder to find a "cure". Nathan tells Tracy that he's both trustworthy and harmless. Well, a lot has changed since the last time Nathan visited the lab.
How is Arthur still alive, and what is his power? We don't know the answer to either of those questions at this point, but we do know that Angela is very frightened when she sees her "dead" husband in an apparent dream. I think it was more of a vision presented by Maury rather than a dream, but her fear raises the question of whether it was really Linderman that "killed" Arhtur. Perhaps it was Angela. Or even Angela and Linderman working together. Also, in the dream, Arthur promises Angela that she won't be able to move when she wakes up, and that seems to hold true.
Whether Angela is good or evil is still up for debate. She may want to use her sons as weapons, but then again, she might genuinely be trying to help Gabriel overcome his hunger. In the previous episode we see that he finally was able to control it, and that may be directly related to her intervention. Peter is certainly not in the mood to wait and find out, though, as he goes straight for her head when she enters the cell with him and Gabriel. As a result, Peter is left in some sort of coma (perhaps induced) while Gabriel and Noah leave to capture another escapee.
Claire is on the hunt as well, and happens to be headed to the same place as Noah and Gabriel. Claire gets there first and learns that Canfield may not be the monster that is portrayed in his file. He seems to be just a man that hasn't yet learned to control his powers well, and Claire naively trusts Noah to just talk. In the end, Canfield sacrifices himself rather than kill Gabriel for Noah, and Noah and Claire are again divided.
I forgot in my last notes that Hiro had gotten Adam, and it played into a humorous exchange in this episode with Hiro repeatedly returning him to the casket in order to assure his assistance. Adam takes them to a bar that is supposed to hire out specials, picks a fight, and uses that as cover to escape. The only problem is that he escapes right into the hands of Knox. Knox and Daphne are working together to help build Linderman's team (really Arthur's team through Maury's manipulations), and the try to recruit Hiro. As a challenge to Hiro's claim to be "bad ass" Knox tells Hiro that he has to kill Ando. Surprisingly, Hiro stabs Ando with a sword. We'll have to see how that all works out since Ando is supposed to be alive in the future to kill Hiro.
Daphne is not very happy about this turn of events and lets Linderman know when she returns to Pinehurst. Did you notice that the Pinehurst logo is the same "God Send" symbol from the previous seasons reversed on itself? Anyway, Daphne figures out that Linderman is not real, but she doesn't quite know what to do with that. She's left with a mission to find and recruit Matt Parkman. Apparently, that's how they will at least meet so that they can later be married.
Mohinder is still busy working on whatever he's working on. For a light snack, he cases and then abducts a drug dealer and puts him in one of his cocoons. Maya realizes what's going on and in the process of trying to free one of the captives ends up being captured herself. For all of the goofiness of this storyline, I can at least say, thank goodness Maya is gone. The question is still out there, what exactly is Mohinder doing? What is he becoming?
Finally, Meredith is out looking for Claire and assumes that Claire went after a different target. Meredith goes to visit Doyle and ends up getting trapped. Apparently, he's some sort of puppetmaster and can make people do whatever he wants. Sandra had assumed that Meredith found Claire, but when the realize that that wasn't the case, Claire is determined to go find her birth mother.
