Below are our Heroes Clues, screencaps & analysis for Episode 2 of Season 2: “Lizards”.
The Butler’s newspaper headline reads: “Nationwide Crime Rate Down By 10% As Population Increases”. This is odd because you would expect crime to increase in the face of increasing population. Could this be something to do with ‘Heroes’ (known and unknown) using their powers for good, and thus helping to reduce crime across the country?
Is this figure of 10% a future nod to 1 in 10 people eventually having abilities?
Newspaper reports Kaito’s murder. The image on the right is the same as the one Isaac painted, which is part of a series that make up a puzzle.
The detective gives the surrounding location of the murder point and in doing so says “WEST“. Could this be a subtle way of telling us that West is in fact the murderer of Kaito? It would fit, as ‘The Hooded Guy’ appeared to have a similar build..furthermore the officer also sarcastically suggested that the murderer either fell or ‘flew’ away. Too obvious a foreshadowing? Perhaps..but then watch this space!

Peter displays ‘D.L.-like’abilities to phase his hands through the rope. This is the FOURTH new ability (fifth overall) that he has displayed so far this season – they are: Healing, “Hadoken”, Super strength, telekinesis, and phasing.
‘A’ – Peter emits his “Hadoken” bolt, ‘B’ the thug feels the full effect as it knocks him out and ‘C’, Peter uses telekinesis to release the gun from the other thugs grip.
Close-up of Maya’s ‘self-infliction’. So it would seem that her infliction reflects upon those who see her. Which suggests that another way to prevent others from dyeing is for them to not look at her or close their eyes – the other option is Alejandro’s polar presence.
Here we can see something new – Previously it was believed that Alejandro only needed to be in Maya’s presence to prevent her ability from activating – now we see that he can also ‘conciously’ revert the damage that her ability does to others…but only within a limited time-frame. Nidia was luck that Alejandro got there in time.
Mrs Petrelli thinks “Get out of my head!!”, as Parkman is probing her. Does this suggest that she also has an ability, seeing as she knew he was reading her mind? Or was it simply due to his sudden line of questioning that drew her suspicion? If it’s the former, it could be argued that SHE is the person worse than the boogieman, seeing as it could mean she has the ability to enter other ‘specials’ subconscious.
Frames of Mrs Petrelli being ‘attacked’. Was this a ploy by her to win Nathan’s favour, or did was she really attacked? If she was the person was either invisible (Claude) or has some-kind of conscious-entering ability (Ala, ‘the person worse than Sylar’, perhaps). Or they decided not to show them to us.

The Anti-Company Team. Mohinder, Noah and the Haitian joined forces in this episode: Mohinder saved the Haitian’s life using his remedy, however although it ‘appeared’ that the Haitian had robbed Mohinder’s memory, what we didn’t see was their plan for Mohinder to ‘pretend’ that his memory was taken, so that the Haitian could escape the clutches of ‘The Company’ whilst giving Mohinder a viable excuse to spiel to Bob Midas. In the meantime we then see Mohinder and Noah continuing to conspire against ‘The Company’, whilst Noah’s old friend the Haitian shows up at Copy Kingdom.
In short, all 3 men appear to be working together in order to bring down the company..least that’s how I interpreted it.
‘A’ – Claire’s pinkie toe after she cuts it off, ‘B’ Claire’s pinkie begins to regenerate…just like a Lizard.
One question I would have if I was her, would be how many times can she lose body parts before they no longer regenerate..or it it unlimited? Also..she cut off her pinkie because her teacher told her that it was one of the “junk” features that we humans no longer ‘need’ – would she regenerate if she cut off a feature that wasn’t “junk” – i.e. her head?
