Overview:

Sylar locks down Primatech and traps Claire, Noah, Angela and Meredith inside. Before Claire can stab him in the head, Sylar pumps Meredith with adrenaline and triggers a pyro-overload that sends Primatech up in flames. Meanwhile, Ando gets the Force lightning, which acts as an amplifier to other abilities and enables Daphne to speedyzip through time. (Don’t ask. Long story short: she gets Hiro back to the present.) Finally, Peter gets back his empathic mimicry, Mohinder gets rid of his scales, Pinehearst explodes, and Nathan takes all information on the superpowered population to the president.

Overview:

Sixteen years in the past, we learn that Mama Sulu was the host for The Catalyst and that Papa Sulu selected Claire as her successor. Claire changes her own diapers (!) while Hiro bonds with Mama Sulu, gets his memories back and persuades her to put The Catalyst in him. Having robbed Hiro of both his abilities and The Catalyst, Arthur combines The Catalyst with The Formula. He doesn’t get to see his superpowered army take shape, however, because Peter and the Haitian show up to shoot him. After establishing that Arthur definitely isn’t his father, Sylar helps the bullet along its trajectory.

Overview:

The eclipse ends. Peter and the Haitian rescue Nathan, the Haitian overpowers Samedi, and Nathan defects to Team Pinehearst. Claire dies from her gunshot wound and Sylar gets his throat slit by Noah, but both of them regenerate. Daphne gets her ability back and makes amends with Papa Millbrook. Hiro reads lots of 9th Wonders comics, decides heroism sucks, then gets a pep talk from Seth Green and teleports Claire to the day Noah adopted her. Hiro also interrupts Sylar’s rampage (and Noah’s revelation that Sylar is NOT a Petrelli) by teleporting Sylar to a beach and letting him scalp Elle.
