Reality Island

[bookie]

Sorry Pika is the queen of recaps here....I just post my thought...


So.... I was a little disappointed last night, but not much. I still want to know what the heck has happend to Hiro. So he went back 6 months, but disappeared a few weeks before Charlie gets killed....hmmm

So they finally got Sylar. Guess Eden's "gift" is the ability to "suggest". Now that's the ability I want...screw super strenght or flight

I knew Peter wasn't going to die. He of course was able to absorb Claire's power and Sylar's to heal himself..ok the thing with the leg was gross

Micah, I'm glad they finally had him tell his dad everything. Now we just hope that Jessica/Niki missed that shot..

Only 1 more episode left.

Oh almost forgot about Mohinder and his dream boy. Got to try and find a screen cap of the names that were on his Dad's list.

The entire cheerleading squad is shocked and disgusted when Claire wins homecoming queen even after she sent the team's star quarterback to the hospital. Claire has won this honor because the school's geeks and outcasts voted for her.


Nathan confirms with Simone that she didn't tell Peter about the painting recovered from Linderman. Simone watches helplessly as Nathan destroys the painting, worried that Peter is going to get himself killed if he travels to Texas to "save the cheerleader."


Niki prepares for the battle ahead by purchasing a Blaser R93 sniper rifle. "We're going hunting" she tells her reflection in a car's side view mirror.


Somewhere in Utah along highway 12, Micah pester D.L. about returning to his mother. D. L. gets out of the car to use the bathroom at a rest stop. When he returns, Micah is gone.


Mohinder wonders how he could possibly dream about a sister he never knew had or how he dreamed of a boy who actually exists? According to the file, the boy's name is Sanjob Iyer, and he has the ability to enter one's dreams and change one's perceptions... a kind of spirit guide.


Simone is convinced to show Peter a digital image of the painting, which shows Peter's own death at 8:12 that very night. Peter knows that he has to go. With a hug and kiss, he says goodbye to Simone to find his destiny.


Isaac's painting doesn't help Mr. Bennett track down Sylar. He demands that Eden have him paint another when the artist wakes up and instructs Eden to go to the high school, find Sylar, and take him out.


Zach impresses Claire when he tells her that he campaigned for her to win homecoming queen. He also hands her a copy of Chandra Suresh's book, which includes a chapter on spontaneous regeneration. Jackie interrupts their moment with some callous statements about Zach's sexual orientation. Claire responds by knocking her block off.


D. L. finds Micah at a bus stop. Micah tells his dad about Jessica and how sick his mom is. " She can't help herself. She can't control it." His boy's words get through, and D. L. agrees to turn around to help Nikki.


Mohinder finds Sanjob Iyer in a crowded marketplace. "You came to me in my dream last night," Mohinder tells the boy. "I don't come to anyone," he replies. "They come to me... they have questions that need answers." Mohinder asks which path he should take and the boy tells him, "You already have the answer you seek."


At the Burnt Toast Diner, Ando waits for Hiro to return from the past when he notices a snapshot on a memorial wall for Charlie the waitress: it's Hiro with Charlie on her birthday. Ando asks another waitress if she knows Hiro, and she says, "Of course... he and Charlie were tight... but he popped out of her life weeks ago."


Claire is infuriated when her father refuses to let her leave the house for homecoming, but Zach shows up and rescues her from her bedroom window. She invites him to homecoming as her date, and he stammers with his reply, admitting that he's gay.


A cab pulls up to the Burnt Toast Diner, and Peter Petrelli gets out. Ando tells him that Hiro has traveled back in time, and Peter admits that he has no abilities of his own, but when he's with others who do, he can absorb their powers. With an hour before Claire's murder, Peter leaves the diner to save the cheerleader.


Sanjob Iyer gives Mohinder another vision: he sees his colleague yelling at his father about the boy and his father's theories. He sees himself telling his father that he just read his book on evolution. He sees his father casting him out, refusing his aid in his quest to find those who have taken the next evolutionary step. When Mohinder snaps out of his vision, he knows what path he must go down. He cracks his father's computer password - Shanti – and a list of everyone with special abilities appears on the screen.


At the high school, Peter runs into Claire and asks her where he can find Jackie, the girl who rushed into fire – Peter is looking to save the wrong girl! Outside the school, Peter stands before the homecoming banner... the scene of his impending death.


While Claire argues with Jackie in the locker room, the lights go out and a black shadow streaks across the wall. Claire senses that something isn't right. She turns around to see Sylar choking Jackie to death. Her screams bring Mr. Bennett and Peter running as Claire is thrown against the wall. Her arm breaks, but she regenerates as Jackie takes her last breath.


Peter faces off against Sylar in the halls, as Sylar sends locker doors flying off their hinges. Two minutes before she's to die, Claire runs from the school in terror and up the steps that Isaac had painted. Peter grabs her, helping her flee from Sylar's calm advance. Peter yells at her to run into the bright lights of the crowded stadium, and then turns to battle Sylar. The two men tumble off the building in a heap. Blood pools around Peter as he and Sylar lay motionless.


Claire finds Peter's bloodied body on the ground. She leans over him, and he sputters back to life, his broken bones and smashed body regenerating before her eyes. Ambulance and police sirens scream in the distance as Claire runs to get help, but her father stops her and pulls her into his arms.


Sylar limps off into a grove of trees where Eden is hiding. "You don't want to hurt me," she says in a strange and eerie voice, "We just need to talk... but first, you need to sleep." The mysterious Haitian emerges from the shadows and wipes his hand across Sylar's face, causing him to crumple to the ground.


As Peter gets to his feet, the police arrive and take him into custody.


Mohinder tells his mom that he turned down Mira's job offer and is returning to New York.


Outside the Burnt Toast Diner, Jessica gets D. L. into her rifle's site and fires.


Six months earlier, Hiro materializes in the diner and tells Charlie that he is there to save her life.

I knew Peter wasn't going to die because future Hiro had said he had a scar and Peter doesn't have one yet. I also figured Hiro wasn't going to make it back on time for homecoming, which is why future Hiro comes back to get Peter to go there and save Claire.

I'm not sure where Hiro goes after leaving Charlie. Maybe he ends up in Claire's dad's research center. Who knows?

One thing I thought was odd was if Hiro was able to go back in time and appear in a picture with Charlie, why are they still having a memorial service for her? I would assume that if he went back and changed the past he would have succeeded in saving her life and she wouldn't die in the future. Maybe by changing the past, he put himself in danger. Or maybe he can only go back in time himself but he can't mess with events that are supposed to happen so despite going back, he isn't able to save Charlie.

Obviously not a complete list since Peter, Sylar, Ted, and Micah aren't on it. Don't know if any of the people on the list are Eden or the Haitian. I didn't see Claire on the list but it could be that the list only has adult names or Claire may be listed under her real name. The Bennett's may have named her Claire when they took her in.
