At the end of the last episode, Future Hiro contacted Peter on a subway train with Hiro having stopped time for everything and everyone around them. He instructs Peter, "Save the cheerleader, save the world." Then he leaves as everything moves again. In Las Vegas, Claire's dad and his black assistant are holding Peter's brother Nathan in custody but Peter manages to fly off before they can do anything to him. Present Hiro and Ando are thrown out of a car near a diner after being beaten by guards from a casino. Ando goes while Hiro stays at the diner. Hiro looks out the window and sees Nathan landing in the desert with nothing but his pajama pants. Nathan comes and orders some food and a shirt while Hiro introduces himself and mentions his powers. Nathan then offers Hiro a ride. Meanwhile, Matt the cop's wife is on the phone worried about her husband when she sees him on the couch waking up. He's been gone for a day and doesn't remember much. He reads his wife's mind and eventually fixes her dinner and they start to make love. Claire the cheerleader and the quarterback are in the hospital being treated for injuries. Claire tells her dad what happened at the bonfire. The dad confronts the quarterback and threatens him, then has his black assistant do something to his mind. When Claire tries to apologize to the quarterback for wrecking his car, the quarterback doesn't even know who she is. Niki the stripper returns home to find the police there looking for her ex-husband believing he's there. Ando trespasses and gets held for questioning. Niki lets him go then we find her ex hiding where no one has found him yet. Matt goes to a convenience store to get his wife some ice cream when he hears a customer's thoughts of robbing. He confronts him and convinces him to put his gun down on a shelf then takes the gun himself and frightens the customers before passing out. Ando and Hiro reunite and call Issac the artist at his home where Peter is finishing Issac's painting of the cheerleader running from something that's covered in blood. Peter answers the phone with Hiro on the other line but since it's Present Hiro technically they haven't even met yet...Another intriguing episode with some revelations that are sure to be answered in future installments. Most entertaining characters in this episode are Hiro and Matt. Most loathsome is definitely the quarterback. This is the best new series on television right now, so by all means check it out if you haven't seen it already!

This episode really shows the characters. It shows how they can interact and become more than their individual selves. I really enjoyed Clare's payback. It was way too much fun. I find it interesting that her father protected her and yet there is foreshadowing of her demise by her father. I begin to wonder if we are not all tricked by who Syler really is! And who is the guy who wipes minds? And why does he wear the necklace that is the same symbol as Niki's tattoo? These little mysteries and character interactions are just making this one amazing TV show. I love being able to watch something that isn't all about Reality or Game shows. This is most definitely the best show this season! Thanks!
Chapter Five 'Hiros'
Prismark102 November 2020
"Save the cheerleader, save the world."
The words get mentioned for the first time and that really sums up the first series.
The words were said by the Hiro from the future who seeks out Peter Petrelli.
The Hiro from the present meets a flying Nathan Petrelli in a diner outside Las Vegas.
The episode is at its best as characters interact with each other, unknowing how they are linked with each other. Nathan and Niki for example. Niki even meets Ando, her online client from Japan.
The sinister Mr Bennet seems to be aware of Claire's powers. He uses his own powers at his disposal to give a memory wipe to the douchebag quarterback. Another character who is interacting with the other Heroes.

The One With The High Rollers...

I really didn't know what to caption the summary, so this will have to do. I like this episode. It's not one of my all-time favorites, or even my season favorites, but it's worth watching.
In this episode, Niki is questioned by the police about her fugitive husband's whereabouts, but she doesn't know anything. Matt and his wife, Janice's relationship starts to mend, thanks to him being able to read her every thought. Claire tells her Father a secret, and Hiro gets into trouble with some Las Vegas high rollers. Meanwhile, Peter receives a message from Future Hiro; Save the cheerleader, save the world. And Mohinder thinks about leaving New York City, and stopping to work on his Father's research.
Overall, I give this episode a 6 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Good.
