Heroes “Turn and Face the Strange”
Last week we had Claire andNathan getting money by being drunk. Peter and Angela bonding at church and the Hunter and Sylar teaming up to give Sylar a new power. Lets roll on with the Heroes recap and review! This week we have Danko and HRG posturing for control of each other, with Sylar lurking in the backround. Hiro and Ando once again on a quest to somehow reunite Matt Parkman Sr with his son. Matt is busy though planning vengeance after the death of Daphne, even saying goodbye to his friend Mohinder. More after the cut.
Angela gives HRG a call saying she is ready once again to reveal the truth to him, Peter, Nathan Claire. HRG is too distracted though because he knows his white whale, I mean Sylar, isnt dead. Something is fishy hehe. Suresh meanwhile finds that his old apartment has been ransacked by Homeland Security along with all his papers. Luckily for him the cranky landord happens to tell him that his dad left stuff in storage. Hiro and Ando continue having issues with the machine stopping baby. Matt uses his powers to find out who Danko really cares for and prepares to apparently shoot that person. HRG figures out that the dead body is in fact not Sylar, but before he can deal with that his wife tells him she wants a divorce. HRG is noticeably shaken by this revelation but its revealed outside that it is in fact Sylar trying to break HRG down. Evil I say, EVIL!
Hiro and Ando make funny faces to make the baby happy, and now Ando has to hold a funny face to keep the car moving. Scintillating stuff here. Hiro calls Mohinder to find Matt. Matt sneaks into theDanko’s girlfriends house and instead of killing her, he tries to make her leave him. HRG figures out that his wife was in fact the shapeshifting Sylar,a nd now he is off on his hunt. Nathan meanwhile is trying to find Coyote Sams with Claire. Suresh finds files by his father about the self same Coyote Sams. HRG tracks down his wife and pulls a gun on her and he means business!
HRG realizes after a talk with Lyle that Sandra is real, but its too late. She wants him out, even pushing him at one point. The lost look on HRG 
really sells this scene and you feel for him. Then she locks the door and your heart breaks. Danko meanwwhile is trcked by Parkman to let Parkman and Danko’s girlfriend inside. Parkman wants to shoot the girl, but cant and asks Danko to finish it. Danko fires, but Hiro arrives SOMEHOW, and stops time and takes Parkman out of the apartment. Danko is pissed and the girlfriend calls him a monster and ditches him. Oh its a bad day for relationships in this VENGEANCE episode.
HRG enters Building 26 without his glasses and we all suspect he is Sylar meeting up with Danko. He reveals to Danko that he has old Primatech files from HRG’s apartment, and we get the SWERVE that its the real HRG and he just got Danko to reveal that he is working with Sylar. God I love HRG! Hiro and Matt discuss this weeks theme of how vengeance is bad, and Matt is now introduced to baby Matt and the healing can begin. Cute little moment as the kid gets remote control cars to drive in circles around them. Meanwhile HRG crashes a squad victory party and suspects an agent that Danko fingered. HRG then shoots the self-same agent accidentally, but the agent doesnt regenerate. HRG freaks out and leaves, running into the street. Poor guy is close to a complete breakdown.
We get a collage of scenes to end the episode. Turns out the dead agent isnt dead and Sylar can control his blood flow. neat. HRG calls his wife and then dumps the phone as he too is now a fugitive. Suresh finds out where Coyote is as Matt and hsi baby bond with more funny faces. Danko tries to talk to his girlfriend, but she is taking a taxi to a better place one hopes. Finally we catch up with Angela, Peter, Claire and Nathan as they seek to uncover the sins of the past, and the bones too. HRG also arrives ready to help.
Good episode that got everyone together where they need to be with just three episodes left. Lets see if they can wrap up this storylines successfully and bring back their audience for next year.!
Next week, we flashback to 1961 and the sins of Angela Petrelli come to light. Be there!
