Excellent episode. HRG-centric episodes always seem to deliver.

I loved this episode, it can even be put up there with A Clear and Present Danger. It was full of parallels to Company Man (both being the 17th episode of their respective season, Noah flashbacks, Noah appearing at a place in one of his flashbacks at the end of the episode, etc.) and Danko was just great, especially when Peter went to confront him. He now has some knowledge that Nathan possesses an ability. The scene where the team raids the motel was great, too. The way Mohinder was brought down (reminded me of Scarface, in a way) after beating a few of them up was awesome. Not to mention that the episode also had Matt looking at memories inside peoples' heads, like he could in the Five Years Gone future.

More highlights:
-Scene revealing Daphne is alive. Good background score and the setting was intense. I'm glad Daphne wasn't really killed off, which leads me to...
-Final scene, with matt trying to find out more about Daphne. Instead, he paints what is probably the next big event in Heroes: the destruction of the Capitol.

Very big improvement from the crew of Heroes. I've liked the other episodes of the volume, but this one surpases the others. I give it an A-.

Lots of Noah and Matt so how can you go wrong. I missed Sylar though. It was nice to see the lead up to the beginning of the hunt and how Noah got mixed up in all this. Loved the conversation on the bench with Angela at the end.

I thought tonights episode was excellent. I gave it a four on the Poll. I f they keep this up I will soon be able to forget Vol-3 ever happened.

I am very much looking forward to seeing Angela teach Nathan and Danko some harsh lessons. Since the beginning of this Volume I have been torn between my desire to See Angela engineer the Hunter's downfall and seeing HRG take the Hunter out the hard way. Maybe, Just maybe, I will get to see both.

I kind of feel bad for Nathan. I pretty much feel that he is screwed.

I loved how the episode seemed to be going full circle with HRG and Angela sitting on the bench. Can't wait for those who deserve the smackdowns get what's coming to them.

this chapter shows us that mohinder will work for nathan like he did in the future, tryin to find a cure n' i'm guessin that nathan will use daphne against matt so he will hav to work for him too n' we see noah is gonna go rouge like he did in the future n' peters attitude is close to fpeters. it wont happen exactlly like it did in the future but along the same path.

i'm lovin heroes

Definitely a grade A episode. It had a very Company Man-esque feel to it which worked quite well for the tone of the episode.

Also loved Peter in all his awesomeness last night.

The Noah/Angela scenes were amazing. Hope we get more scenes between them. Should have known Angela would never be content sitting on the sidelines. That's just not the Angela I know and love.

Lurker here smile.gif This episode was so good, it made me actually post LOL

This episode sealed my faith in the show because I was starting to lose a bit of hope. I wasn't sure what the direction was and it was starting to feel like a new show in many ways that were awkward.

I also loved Peter in this episode. Especially the scene when he landed on the windshield. Great scenes/writing, IMO.

It also reminded me a tadbit of Harry Potter, which is my other vice, so I was glad.

Edit: I also agree that the Noah/Angela scenes were very well done, and also very familiar which I loved.

Agreed. This was this season's Company Man. Noah is still the most interesting character of the show, showing that powers aren't as important as depth.

Is Sandra part of this too?
