After last weeks intimate episode we have an all encompassing spiralling episode we're most if not all of the characters are in action. The good thing about spending an episode concentrating on a character is when you bring all of the others out they feel fresh and thats the best way to describe this episode fresh. We are able to pick up where we left some characters and for some its a case of "oh I forgot THAT was happening!"
Bennet feels different after last episode, he's gone from being a peripheral figure seen from other characters point of view to being more dynamic and intriguing now we know he has a stake in the events.
Mohinder and Sylers plot is unsatisfying, the detective work has been done off screen. What we see is good but we needed to see the road that got them here. Very good cliff hanger though.
Hiro reaches the end of his mini arc, hooks back up with Ando in a punch the air moment and looks like he's being thrust into his next arc. All good and he's still the headline character for me.
Nathan has a lot to do, hooking up with a number of characters and he finally gets to confront Linderman in a memorable scene. Malcolm McDowell can command a scene from inside a sack under sea and he's a wonderful addition to the cast.
Isaac goes back to the heroin after shooting Simone and paints his fate which we've known since episode one. After getting to know him it feels different this time - it matters.
There is so much going on in this episode, a number of revelations, a number of characters in intriguing situations and still new characters being added to the mix. A full busy episode that gets a 9/10 from me due to a combination of well placed plots setting different characters up for future episodes.
