Can’t wait til Monday? Maybe this will help – it’s a 7 minute sneak peak at what now appears to be the season finale (as the writers are still on strike) “Powerless“.
It features key scenes between Sylar, Maya and Mohinder, Micah and Niki, H.R.G, Elle and Bob, and Peter and Adam slash Kensei:

Check out this cool behind the scenes video from the upcoming season finale episode, “Powerless“.
It features Mohinder back at his apartment with Sylar holding him at gunpoint, as the ‘good doctor’ tends to Maya who appears to be sleeping (after being injected with a certain something?). However it appears that Sylar hasn’t ‘yet’ got his powers back, because he fires a gun in the direction Elle (instead of using telekinesis, for example) when she calls his name:

NBC went over board with “The Box..The Box” trailer for this episode, and it would appear that the excitement spread to Peter as he demands “Just tell me what I have to do to get my life back”. That’s funny, the last time I checked a whole life can’t fit inside of a little box. Of course the head Irish gangster wants him to pay his debt for being chained inside the bigger box and saving his sister from getting raped – that’s gratitude for you Peter! Peter agrees but his trustworthiness is placed in doubt after his Parkman borrowed mind reading power over hears another member of the gang planning to screw head boss guy over for the money. But hey, he’s family, he wouldn’t screw head boss guy over, right? Shame on you Peter!
Maya and Alejandro, bless em, continue their mission to get to America – I hope they know the streets aren’t paved with gold..well, unless Bob Midas is in town. Anyway, Alejandro being the genius that he is, decides to thief a set of wheels..wait for it..IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! They get spotted by police and Alejandro gets caught. Darn, stealing cars ain’t like it used to be!
Micah and Nikki make their long awaited return, and the worst kept secret is finally out – D.L. is dead. Never saw that coming! But it appears that Micah will lose more than just his father as Nikki leaves him with his grandma in the hope of getting ‘cured’ by Bob Midas and the Company. Wait, so does she have the virus or is she just tired of Jessica’s ways? I heard she always leaves the seat up and puts the peanut butter in the fridge! No wonder Nikki’s had enough!
Guess..Who’s..Back…!? Erm, Sylar? Yes, thank you for the hype NBC, but Sylar needs no hype..he’s Sylar! So he’s on a beach in Maui with Candice..who I thought died back in season 1? Wait, didn’t Sylar also die? Of course he didn’t..rule number 1, unless you SEE a person die, then the chances are they’re alive – see Peter and Nathan. Oh scrap that D.L. died and we didn’t even get to say goodbye. Anyway, back to Sylar, he’s not really on a sunny beach, it’s just one of Candice’ illusion tricks. He’s actually on a bed with his Kidney bleeding out and in total and utter pain. He soon finds out that he has no power – Dammit, I loved when he used to be able to move teacups with just his mind, it was the highlight of any episode! Sylar isn’t happy, Candice who is presumably working for the Company, tells him that he’ll be able to re-acquire his abilities once he gets better. Patience was never one of Sylar’s strong points, and he soon bashes Candice over the head in order to retrieve her power. Oh Sylar, you are clever!
Claire spends the episode moaning and growning at Noah..then at West, for spying on her cutting off her Pinky. Y’know you could’ve been doing more embarrassing things at that moment Claire..count yourself lucky! West isn’t in the least bit sorry and teases her in class by insinuating that she’s a Lizard-girl. Ouch..not nice West..not nice. Go on, make it up to he by taking her for a free flying lesson.
Mohinder comes home to Molly’s delight and Parkman’s concern. Those two sure do make a great couple - Who’s turn is it to wash the dishes by the way? Hiro risks breaking the Space-Time Continuum by leaving a message for Ando. Whilst he uses Kensei’s regeneration as a way of making him into a true Hero. AT LAST, the swine is gone and we now have a semi-decent character on our hands. It’s amazing what killing 90 odd people in battle can do for a man, huh Kensei? So, the Kensei (the real one, not Hiro) gets the girl, but Hiro is jealous and can’t bring himself to leave just yet. Hiro, you do realise that you risk ‘breaking history’ don’t you?
Hey, what about Peter? Well, he’s busy practising his “Hadoken” fireballs and Telekinesis..he even takes his shirt off for full effect, but alas, he just cannot seem to make it work. That is until he’s in the moment and successfully helps the mobsters to rob the betting shop. Maybe some day he’ll master how to use his abilities at will? Maybe some day he’ll actually open the box that NBC hyped us all about? I mean come on Peter, is your life REALLY all that great at the moment? Sure you got a kiss and you got beer on tap, but you’ve committed a crime. The real Peter would never do such a thing! Oh and have you forgotten Simone? She’s only been dead like 5 months and you’re getting jiggy with the sister of a madman who would snap you’re neck if he ever caught you. Oh, wait, you can regenerate..hmm, maybe life isn’t so bad after all. But just for the sake of my own curiosity, please open the darn box!
Bob sets Mohinder up in a brand new laboratory so that he can do all of his sciency stuff. Only he didn’t have the budget to get a brand new place and had to rent Isaac’s old studio instead. I guess that turning spoons to gold thing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, huh Bob? For real tho, Mohinder isn’t too happy about Bob breathing down his neck all of the time, but does manage to find painting number 8, which depicts our very own Noah mangled and dead – so the first is Kaito and the last of the elders to be purged is Noah. At least he has a long wait before it’s his turn. Go on, live life to the full Noah, West, I mean, “The Hooded Guy” will be a while.
Speaking of West, after a kissy-kiss on the beach with Claire, she discovers a marking on his neck, to which he reveals was put their by an evil man with Horned Rimmed Glasses. Oh the coincidence, huh! Please, if you can’t trust your father, you certainly can’t trust West! Sure, HRG may have experimented on him, but West pushed Kaito off the building!
Back to Maya..Ahh, beautiful Maya..apart from when she has blood gushing from her eye’s. Oh look, she has blood gushing from her eyes, as she kills the guards and breaks Alejandro out of prison. Alejandro being the stand up guy that he is, reverts her doings and revives the guards and his fellow prisoner, as the three of them escape. Before was an accident, but this time Maya consciously used her ability to kill those men..has she crossed the line this time? This certainly paints a different picture of her!
Oh, and Sylar discovers that he still has no powers. Poor Candice, her death was in vein. However, I don’t think Sylar will be powerless for too long. After all, he’s Sylar!
So as Noah stares at an image of his own future death, Claire snoops on him through the blinds..it’s seems that West has rubbed off on her. Tut. Notice in the corner of the painting Claire is kissing someone..that someone being West, I’d imagine..there..proof that West is “The Hooded Guy”..why else would he be in that painting!?
All in all this was the best episode of the first 3, Heroes is finally living up to the hype!

Check out these awesome pictures from an upcoming episode of Heroes, featuring the appearance of Kristen Bell as ‘Elle’, Bob ‘Midas’, Claire, West and Mohinder. These shots paint an intriguing picture as to what is in store for Claire - the company seems eager to bring her in and it looks like Elle works for them. And what about West!? Is he helping or attacking/restraining Claire??
Thanks to Travis for the pix!
Can’t wait til Monday? I don’t blame you, so here’s a sneak peak at the next episode, “Kindred”. It features Claire, West, Bob ‘Midas’ and Mohinder:

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?
Spoiler images from 2.01:
Below are some images from the next Heroes installment: “Four Months Later” (Season 2 episode 1). Enjoy.
Mohinder in a lecture warning about a “plague” which is infecting those with abilities and preventing mankind from reaching the threshold of evolution. He is later approached by a man who offers him a job:
Claire & Noah at her new school, ‘Costa Verde’. Claire’s is attending under the alias ‘Claire Butler’ and Noah pleads with her to be “less extraordinary”.
Kensei laughs off Hiro’s claim to be from the future:
Maya and her brother, Alejandjro, run from the police:
