Below are screencaps and analysis of key aspects and potential clues from episode 2.01: “Four Months Later”.
Mohinder’s projection demonstrates regeneration and refers to ‘MHC’ – which is an abbreviation for Myosin Heavy Chains. In a nutshell Myosins are a group of proteins which are are responsible for the single/multicellular organism ability to move independently and sponteaneously. It would appear that Mohinders slide shows an example of the rapid growth (or regeneration) of such cells. This would perhaps allude to Claire’s ability and one of Peter’s ‘borrowed’ abilities.
This slide is similar to his father’s map seen in season 1, which shows the location and details of all known ‘Heroes’.
One of our readers asked me who the person on the paper was -I ca confirm that it seems to be Mohinder’s picture on his lecture sheet. So no conspiracy there.
English translation: “Wanted: They are sought, sought by Homicide. If you’ve seen these people, please contact the national police.”
A, B and E are the images that Molly drew – presumably the ‘boogeyman’ that inhabits her nightmares. Notice they all have the ‘Symbol’between their eyes. Both Kaito and Angela Petrelli (C & D) also have the symbol drawn between their eyes. What is the connection between this ‘boogeyman’ and Kaito/Angela? It would appear that they/the company therefore know who the ‘boogeyman’ is. Is he linked to the person who pushed Kaito off the building?
By request – Yup, it is Nathan who Ando bumped into.
A, B, C & D shows blood seaping from the eye’s of the people Maya was left alone with. This is much worse than any Subconjunctival Haemorrhage! From what I gather she needs her twin brother Alejandro to be with her in order to negate the negative effect of her own ability. It is not yet clear whether Alejandro himself has a tangible ability or whether, as twin, his ability reigns Maya’s. Furthermore we do not yet know whether Maya is able to inflict herself with this ability – though t is clear that she is terrified of what she has and might continue to do to people. Let’s hope her and Alejandro don’t leave each others side again..lest til she is able to control her talent.
The mystery person who was the ‘last person’ of the ‘remaining 7′ who Kaito expected to kill him. It is not yet clear who this is, but it’s reasonable to suspect that it could be someone we have already seen in season 1. It could also be a woman. One of our readers suggested that it could be his daughter, however from the hands the person appears to be Caucasian.
Very Nikki/Jessica-like..only not as attractive. Just what has happened to Nathan!? ‘A’ shows him looking in the mirror (which is slightly cracked) and half of his face appears to be either burned or mutated. No doubt part of the effects of Peter/the explosion. It would appear that only Nathan can see himself like this..is it in his mind? or does he literally exist within 2 realms, which two different features? My bet is that he is mutating and this mutation has affected his mind, which appears to be fractured.
It’s worth considering whether this is connected to the ‘virus’ that Mohinder forewarns..
Peter displays his new ability – a fireball/sonic-boom type skill. He doesn’t, however, appear to be in control of this ability at all – it was as if someone else was controlling his action – Peter even looked at his hand as if to say ‘that wasn’t me!’.
It is not yet clear who or what he could have absorbed such a power from, though it’s likely that the people who imprisoned him in the cargo hold have something to do with it. Unless of course this is Peter’s reaction to the ‘virus’ that Mohinder warns of?
A section of the Heroes community have expressed their disappointment over Takezo Kensei’s character. His reveal was one of the most anticipated throughout the summer, however so far he seems to have not only been an anti-climax to Hiro, but also to a lot of you out there. Personally I wasn’t too impressed with him, but I wouldn’t write him off yet because often true heroes are not born, but through there experiences and interactions they make brave choices and find their way – this could be the case for Kensei.
