My DVR stopped JUST as Eden arrived at Isaac’s apartment. Anyone wanna fill me in on what happened next and what the previews were like for next week? Please?
Well, when she first tried to tell him, he was obviously thinking that there was no way his wife could have such a violent side to her (this was after they saw the carnage). At the moment of discovery his mind probably just blanked out of rage and he just automatically thought she was lying to save herself. Although if she WERE lying you’d think she’d come up with something more plausible than “There’s someone else living inside me!” (Men! :rolleyes: 
)
I thought Claire’s dad brought in the fake parents so Claire would stop digging around for the truth - whatever said truth may be.
Pixie Girl is getting increasingly creepier.
Nothing - she just said she was a fan of his and might she come in?
The preview showed Micah and DL and Ando and Hiro in front of a burning car. Telecop is going to be on again. Claire’s brother presumably finds out about her powers. Um… Nathan was somewhere in there, worrying about people finding out about his powers. Think that was about it.
Well, her story isn’t done so I’m going to say no.
More seriously, in comic books having a phaser solidify partially inside you hurts a lot and knocks you out but doesn’t kill you. Not a guarantee, of course, but I don’t see any reason to think otherwise yet.
Thanks very much.
I guess I figured he phased in, squeezed her heart until it stopped or popped, then ran off with Micah (and without the money, you’ll note.)
Yes. That is how we roll.
Two special guest stars this episode. David Carridine AND the Nissan Versa!
Well. Now we get to find out how evil the dad is. He knows people are coming to save the cheerleader…
Why do I suddenly have an irreversable urge to buy a Japanese compact car?
Jeez I’m so dense. Or else I keep missing crucial parts of episodes. Likely both. Claire’s dad is Evil Dad? All this time, I thought people were referring to DL. And Cute Pixie Girl is evil and creepy? I don’t know from evil, but she can creep around me anytime.
I really need to set an alarm for 7:55pm on Mondays.
I missed tonight’s ep. So could someone give me a synopsis?
No no, DL is Ghost Dad.
Re Claire’s bio-parents. I’m kinda hoping that they aren’t going to continue to be a plot point. I’m fine with there being no further quest to find them, even if Evil Dad turns out to really be evil.
I wonder if we’ll find out what happened to her real mom and dad. It seems likely that Mr. Bennett adopted her knowing her geneology would lead her to have some special power. Did she just happen to be on the market? Or did he do a little convincing with her birth parents?
Didn’t you see Brick? The girl should complain she’s being typecast.
I’m not at all convinced those were the bio-parents. moms kinda gave that away when she said they couldnt find them early on, and the scene outside with EDWMNBSE seemed to indicate a favor had taken place…
Who wanna bets that she survived at birth from a trauma that she shouldnt have survived from and her real parents are actually ‘dead’? (well, for now anyway).
As much as I like Ando pep talking Hiro, I really do not like the idea of “do-overs”… I fear cheap wasted episodes where nothing happens cause it gets undone at the end… I want them to keep the writing reasonably tight.
As for Niki-ikiN, I like how the prognostipainter ‘uncovered’ the glyph at the end, I also would not mind if she we’re actually dead, but then again, I still dont have a clue what her power is… is she super PMS girl or what?
I kinda like how ED and the Pixie (Band Name!) called him the “pre-cog”, and I think EDWMNBSE was perplexed when he heard the “Save the Chearleader” from the pixie… apparently he hasnt told his minion about his daughter…
Yeah, those were obviously actors hired by Mr. Bennett. I’m wondering what happened to her real real parents. 
Isn’t it available for viewing at nbc.com?
Peter told Hiro and Ando about Future-Hiro’s visit and passed on the message “Save the cheerleader, save the world.” And told Hiro that F-H carried a sword.
Hiro and Ando were kidnapped by the gamblers who they cheated and who dumped them in the desert to help them cheat at a poker game. Ando saw that one of the poker players had a gun and dragged Hiro to the bathroom. While they were in there the rest of the players were ripped apart by an at-the-time unknown party.
DL showed up and said he was going to clear his name. DL spent the night. He and Niki went to the poker game spot and found the shredded bodies. Niki “met” ikiN who told her that she, ikiN, had framed DL and stolen the $2,000,000 and killed the thugs and the poker pals (“leaving witnesses is sloppy”). ikiN told Niki to take Micah and the money and leave DL.
Evil Dad brought in Claire’s biological parents. Claire tried to find out if they were super but didn’t. While they were there, Evil Dad got a call from Eden informing him that Mohinder was returning to India, that Peter told Mohinder he could fly but she never saw him. Evil Dad told her to bring in Isaac.
As the bio-parents leaving, Evil Dad and they talked outside, proving that they weren’t Claire’s bio-parents but actors. Meanwhile, Claire’s mom spilled that Evil Dad had looked for bio-parents before because Claire might have had a “genetic disease” and they wanted to test the parents. Said disease was dismissed by Mom as a “cough” when she was a baby.
Peter realized that there was a painting missing from Isaac’s sequence and called the girlfriend trying to retrieve it. While he was gone, Isaac discovered the glyph under a layer of paint on a portrait of Niki.
Hiro was completely bummed about not being able to save the poker pals. Ando gave him a pep talk, suggesting that when Hiro better masters his powers he may be able to come back and stop the massacre.
Niki retrieved the money from where it was hidden (in her crawl space) but DL figured out what she’d done. ikiN and DL fought and DL phased his hand inside ikiN and left her crumpled on the floor. DL left with Micah but not the money.
Eden the Evil Pixie showed up at Isaac’s studio, saying she’s an admirer and wanting to talk to him.
Did I leave anything out? Sci Fi will repeat the ep on Friday and I think USA repeats them too, so you should be able to catch it.
This show just gets more and more fun.
AmbiguouslyEvilDad is great. I loved it when Pixie told him there may have been an encounter with someone who can stop time. “Really? That’s cool.” He’s seems so damned confident in his ability to handle these super-beings.
When he was on the phone with Pixie he was wearing his glasses and idly holding another pair of his glasses. Was there something to that? Are there perhaps multiple AED’s?
Pixie’s got to have powers of some kind. How’s she going to simply “bring in” the pre-cog? Is she some sort of La Femme Nikita? Even though we all called Pixie being in with AED, it still felt really satisfying when she revealed herself. She was pretty confident Mohinder would be back. Super-seduction power?
They have to be careful with Hiro. It was cool how they made it clear Hiro isn’t yet the ultimate do-over superhero. But they need to establish later he can’t just go back and do-over everything without risking the ol’ time-rift.
I missed Telepa-cop & Congressman Contrail this week but there’s so much going on. It needs to be two hours!
Niki’s tattoo looks like half a DNA helix, which is kinda silly but I suppose it symbolizes her two halves.
AED was unable to find Claire’s real parents when she was a child. I guess that means they could still show up at some point. Maybe season two?
Just thought of another nickname for Niki:
Gypsy Rose and the Thorn.
Glyphs: Definitely on ikiN not Niki. Thinking that’s why it was covered over in the painting. The glyph in the painting was different. It had protrusions on it.
Also, did anyone notice the “crack” on ED’s extra glasses? Wasn’t it shaped like the glyph?
There were several gunshots during the massacre at poker palace, so I was really surprised to see all the carnage. It sounded like someone came in and shot them all.
Seeing FH on the subway confirms that Hiro learns to use his power without his constipation face. Thank goodness. It almost seems painful.
