Heroes Season 3. Chapter 2, The Butterfly Effect Starts with Claire discussing Silar's break in with her mother. Claire's mum notices that there's a shard of glassin Claire's hand but Claire didn'y realise it was there as she couldn't feel the pain.

We see into a dream that Angla is having, in which Hiro is sat dead on the floor, with his Kensei sword stuck in him. Matt's throat is cut, Clare is being attacked, her Dad lying already dead on the floor. The next thing we see is Claire's lifeless and headless body being pulled away from her severed head. Angela rurns to see what appear to be the perpetrators, including Nikki Sanders (or Traky Strauss), Matt's Dad and two others. Behind Angela appears Silar, at which point Angelsa wakes up. Later at Peter's apartment Angela tells Peteerr she had another dream and that he should go back to where he came from. "It's called the Butterfly Effect" she explains. Angela tells him that Claire listened to Peter when he told her not to go to Odessa, and had a pretty bad day because of it.

In Manhattan, Maya finds Suresh hanging from the rafters, using his new powers of hightened strength and energy. He crawls up the wall and explains that if he can give powers he can find how to take them away. Mohinder and Maya then get much more close.

Matt continues to walk through the desert and collapses exhausted.

Peter tells Caire it was his fault and it nevershould have happened. Claire asks for Peter's help to teach her about her powers but Peter can't help as something could go wrong.

Tracy meets with Nathan and proposes her offer of a place on the Senate. Nathan tells her he knows her but Tracy tells him she's not Nikki. After she leaves, Linderman tells him this is God's plan.

Elle enters her father's room but finds that Silar has got to him, his head missing. She frees Mr Bennett who shoots Silar but, with Claire's powers, it has little effect. Silar tries to take Elle's powers but she shorts out, taking the entire electical supply of level 5 out oo, freeing the prisoners kept there.

At Daphne's apartment, Hiro tells him that Ando was a villain in the future.

In Nathan;s hospital room, Future-Peter explains he is from a future where people with powers have been hunted, slaughtered and used because of what Nathan told the world in the Press conference. He asks Nathan's forgiveness for shooting him.

Nathan decides to takeup the offer of junior senator fir New York. After tracy takes his call, the reported shows her a video of herself and Nathan together. Tracy grabs the reporter by the arm and to her own surprise, turns him to ice which crashes to the floor.

Angela tells him to bring her son back and then go back where he came from. Curent-Peter is relecuantly with the prisoners who are "having fun" terrorising inncont people though.

Back at Level 5 Angela tells a captures Silar that she is his mother!

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

Oh my gosh! No way did I ever guess that about Angela and Silar. Does this mean that Silar is about to come over to the good side?

Like I was wondering last week, we've actually found out more about Angela's powers now too, and even seen into one of her dreams. After seeing this chapter twice, carefully looking at the end of her dream, it almost looked like Silar appeared behind her in a protective way, but it was all so quick that it's difficult to know for sure.

One thing that really struck me about Angela is that with her powers, she has to, and certainly does exhibit a very machiavellian personality - the ends justify the means.

I'm not sure if I quite get Maya - one day she's so mad at Mohinder for using her blood to create something that will actually give powers to others, and the next day she's getting very close indeed to him. What is Mohinder turning into though?

Poor old Ando - Hiro needs to trust him until and unless Ando does something untrustworthy, no matter what Hiro saw in the future. I'm sure Ando is the most devoted of companions and wouldn't go to the dark side, but Hiro is risking pushing him away and alienating hime, which could create exactly the scenario that Hiro fears.
