Heroes Volume 3 Chapter 5

[Paul]

Angels and Monsters opens unusually with Nathan narrating rather than our usual narrator, Mohinder. Nathan doesn't know where he is headed but believes that God has a purpose for his life. He wonders whether he is an angel or a Monster - a hero or a villian, and why can't he see the difference.

Linderman appears while Nathan is taking a drink of milk. Nathans questions why he has a dead mobster telling him he's the voice of God.

Suresh meets a drug dealer in a park but he's not after the drugs - just the dealer himself.

At Level 5, Peter breaks Silars neck and asks Angela what other secrets she' keeping apart from Silar being Peter's brother. With the hunger that he took from Future-Silar, Peter starts to rip open Angela's head to try to find out, but Silar's neck has healed, and he throws Peter to the ground. Noah tells Silar they have a lead on a new target.

Claire turns up at the place of Mr Canfield, who can create mini black holes . Before he has the chance to do anything she stuns him.

Hiro and Ando get the newly dug-up Adam Monroe to agree to behave and help them to find the missing formula.

Linderman mets Daphne and asks her to recruit for a new world order, where her gifts can be respected and she can really be somebody. She's happy to do it as long as she can get paid.

At Mr Canfield's place, he explains that all he wants to do is see his family. Quickly creating a black hole, he sends Claire's stun gun into it.

Mohinder has brought the body of the drug dealer back to his loft, Maya spots a trail of blood on the floor.

Mr Canfield explains never meant to hurt anyone - it was an accident of his powers that resulted in someone's death. He realises that Claire is not with the company and shows Caire a card marked Pinehearst asking if she is with them. Claire sees he is being honest and offers to help him see his family.

Tracey tells Nathan she killed the reporter and needs to turn herself in. Nathan mentions how he died and believes God gave them these powers. Tracey tells him a doctor in California was the one who did.

Noah and Silar burst in to Mr Canfield's place - he's the new target that Noah told Silar about. Confusion reigns - Claire asks what Silar is doing here with her father, and believing Claire set him up, Mr Canfield creates a vortex....just as Claire is about to be sucked in, Silar grabs her hand and saves her life.

Adam has brought Hiro and Ando to a bar - the destination for "Specials for Hire" in an attempt to trace who hired Daphne. Unfortunately the bartender is an old adversary of Adam's and goes to hit him, missing Adam but knocking Hiro out cold. Whilst Hiro is unconscious, Adam runs off.

At Level 5, Angla has put Peter into a medically induced coma. Nathan and Tracey are there. She recognises Tracey and tells of how Dr Zimmerman worked for the Company many years ago - he helped develop sythetic abilities, of which both Tracey and Nathan were subjects.

Maya has found bodies encased a cuccoons at Suresh's loft. Suresh walks in and finds her there...

Outside the bar, Knox knocks out Adam and bundles him into a van.

Angela explains to Tracey and Nathan that she wants to stop those who want to restart the genetic project which the Company had worked on, as they will destroy everything. Upset at finding out that he and Tracey had been subjects of experiments, Nathan leaves in a flourish, intending to see Suresh about the genetic changes that had been performed. Meawhile Suresh has cuccooned Maya!

Claire meets Mr Canfield at Griifith Park Carousel....Noah is there too. Claire has exlained everything to him about Mr Canfield only wanting to see his family but Noah draws a gun on Mr Canfield asking him to kill Silar and Noah will let him go. Mr Canfield is not a killer though - Rather than do what Noah says ad be a monster, he creates a black hole which swallows Mr Canfield himself.

Back at the bar, Daphne and her new recruit, Knox approach Hiro and Ando, offering them work. Disheartened that they are the worst heroes ever, Hiro requests that they be signed up to Daphne's group. Hiro and Ando say they're badasses now - Knox takes a sword from the wall and asks Hiro to kill Ando to prove it....................Hiro apologises to Ando and stabs him in the heart........Ando falls to the floor dead!

Claire arrives back home. Her mother is glad Meredith (Claire's genetic mother) found her but Meredith is elsewhere - she had started at Eric Doyle's place to look, and now she's sat at his table - he seems to have complete control over her actions.

Alone at her desk at the Company, Angela drifts off to sleep - she foresees Tracey, Nathan and Peter dead, and turns to shockedly see a man she recongnises, wearing a silver coloured ring. She tells him she'll stop him but he tells her she won't even be able to move. Waking at he rdesk, Angela seems stuck in position.

In the grounds of Pinehearst, Daphne tells Linderman she's not happy about what happened with Ando. She throws a folder at him, which goes straight through, proving her theory that he's not really there. Linderman tels Daphne her next goal is to sign up Matt Parkman but says he'll be difficult.

After Daphne has gone, Matt's Dad, Morey appears around a corner - it is he who has been projecting Linderman into her thoughts. He makes his way to a hospital room and tells the man lying there how things are proceeding, and that he has Nathan believing that he is seeing a messenger from God. The man has the same silver ring as in Angela's dream. He doesn't speak but Morey responds as if Morey is hearing the man's thoughts. Morey tells him "Whatever you say goes ,Mr Petrelli".

-------------------

Yikes, it's the father!....although that last scene almost felt more like "The Godfather" ! Although there was a clue in the ring in Angela's dream, I never would have guessed that it was her husband she had seen there. Did Angela ever say what he could do? I remember her mentioning his supposed death to Peter at the start of the first series and seem to remember her saying something about him thinking he could do something special, but I can't remember whether anything was specified?

Whatever it is, he seems to have affected angela....is she going to be stuck unable to move forever?

I think Mr Canfield was a true hero - killing himself rather than be forced to murder someone is a real mark of honour.

Speaking of honour though - I thought that was the Japanese way. How on earth could Hiro kill Ando? Yes, I know Hiro had started to have fears after seeing Ando kill Hiro in the future, but that was a possibility to come...Hiro has done this now and he already knows after the death of his waitress girlfriend and his father that you probably can't change a now-past death. It seemed to be straight through the heart too - no chance of just a bad injury, this is death. Hiro, what have you done? He was your loyal friend.

And Mohinder too - one of the nicest guys, but you've gone and cuccooned Maya who really seemed to love you. Is she dead yet though? And what will happen when Nathan and Tracey visit Mohinder?

It was very interesting to see Silar save Claire's life, especially having seen Claire be in the anti-good-Silar group in the last Chapter. Her path will be very interesting to watch.
