As Peter and Adam go look for the mysterious woman in the Company group photo, Hiro goes back in time in 1977 as this woman and his father Kaito has Adam arrested for fooling with this Shanti virus. This woman and Kaito argue about it with her wanting it destroyed. Instead, it's kept under wraps for the next 30 years. In Costa Verde, Calif., Bob comes back to the Bennett household to give Noah's "ashes" and offer his condolences. He is not welcome. In Viriginia, Sylar and Maya are sitting near a lake when he tells her she can control her powers. To prove it, he says something that makes her almost want to kill him but she stops in time. Her brother, Alejandro, doesn't trust Sylar since he told him he's going to kill him and tries to convince his sister the same thing when he shows the article that reported Sylar's killing his mother. Sylar's confession convinces Maya it was in self-defense and since she's a killer also she sides with him. After she temporarily leaves, Sylar does kill her brother and just as Maya knocks, he comes out shirtless and manages to kiss her outside his door with her dead brother not far behind! Ewww! Okay, with that out of the way let's go on...Micah wants to show his late father's medal plaque to his New Orleans' relatives but the backpack it's in is stolen. Turns out his male cousin gave or sold it to a gang. Micah almost beats him up but Monica convinces him to go to the gang to get it back. After she watches someone on a picture phone climbing up some walls, she executes her plan. Unfortunately, when the gang shows up, they find her hiding place and kidnap her. Micah attempts to rescue her. It's at this time that Mohinder calls Niki and tells her he's found a cure for her condition. Niki goes to Micah's room only to find he's gone. Mohinder has also been taking care of Noah who knows he's been revived with Claire's blood. He's not happy about that. Peter and Adam find this woman, Victoria Pratt (Joanna Cassidy), who refuses to reveal where the virus is even after being tied up and held at gun point by both. Peter finds out when he reads her mind. Adam then shoots her after she is freed. As Claire spreads her father's "ashes" she expresses regret in not listening to him and tells West she wants her memory of him erased. He talks her out of it. We find out Elle has been parked nearby where Claire threatens her by smashing her window then as her hand heals in front of her also says she'll tell the world about her powers and blame her for her father's death. Back in Japan, Hiro promises to avenge his father's death and teleports to the Primatech Papaer building where he stops time and sees Peter with Adam. Only Peter is still moving as Hiro tells him not to trust Adam, Peter says he has no choice as Hiro moves in for the kill...Wow! Except for the Sylar/Maya storyline, this was a very awesome episode! Nice to see Claire mourning her father. Also nice to see two blondes facing off against each other. Should be exciting to see! Oh, and one more thing to mention: Last we see of Sylar and Maya, they were in Molly's apartment on the phone with Mohinder. Uh-oh! Hope next weeks "finale" (with the writers' strike still on, who knows when the next episodes after one more week will air) ties most of the loose ends. Until next time...
