Beware spoilers...
This episode feels rather like Game of Thrones in that there are a lot of plot lines going on and we're only meeting up with each one for a scene or two. We'll start at the end this episode - thats a corking cliff hanger, waking up during your own autopsy is the stuff of nightmares and is a fantastic way to end a TV show. Contrasted with Isaac finding a drawing of Peter and Simone kissing under the red umbrella (a fantastic visual) this show really knows how to end an episode.
Hiro and Ando are lots of fun this week as they follow the events in the comic - plus its a good easy way for Hiro to prove he isn't just insane. I like the fact their action in the episode ends just as the comic does, it echoes those youthful emotions of finishing a comic and not having to wait to find out what happens next issue. It looks like they're going on a road trip across America, no idea why but it looks like they don't know either.
We don't find out whats going on with Nikki but her husband is being built up for a late to the party arrival in a future episode.
The big thing about this episode is Sylar making his appearance on the show. He makes a fantastic overpowered debut feeling like a Dark Souls boss turning up in a Stardew Valley game. Already we have questions, what does he want with the girl? why does he have a similar map to Chandra and what is his connection to him?
We're left asking new questions including who is this mysterious character popping up at the bar wating Matt?
Good stuff and its another 10/10 from me.
