It's a flashback episode as we dive into HRG's past, get a sense of the depth of Claire's powers, and discuss, once again, the Haitian's agency.

We enter the 'trying to get the season finale as quickly as possible' stage of the season as Cody offers a complete rewrite of Parkman's story. Also, S. R. Gustavson has the coolest name ever.

Hiro and Ando enter the Charlie Chaplin part of their story, Parkman is a perfect foil for Jessica until he's not, and Balloo suggests a complete redo of Mohinder's entire season story.

We arrive at the melodramatic, NBC, relationship-y nonsense episode of the series. Peter finally gets the punch in the face he's needed, Zach is everybody's best friend, and apparently Isaac knows Scry.

We (surprisingly) want more of Claire's storyline, and surprisingly want less of Hiro and Ando. Also, we conjecture as to what Peter's powers are, and wish that there was a Doctor Who crossover. 

We rave over Ali Larter's superior acting (again), call out the criminality of not seeing Sylar's story, and discuss 'gritty' Parkman's terrible decisions.

It's hard for us to contain our sadness, as we suffer perhaps the worst death possible. Also, Parkman gets grittier!

We travel six months into the past as we get to see Eden's bad streak, Nikki's bad father, and the writers' bad time travel rules.
