Here we are nine episodes in and since this show is going with the comic motif we get the end of the first arc. This is such a good episode as everything thats been built up through Isaacs pictures come to fruition with regards to Claire. There are quite a few twists and turns with some good writing, last episode Hiro was written out of the rescue attempt and this leaves Peter as the only would be rescuer on hand with powers - but his are dependant on others! Its a good build up to the homecoming sequence with lots of character fluff with Claire and her school friends. Theres also some good stuff bubbling under with other plots which gives us things to look forward to in future episodes. Mohinder in particular coming to the decision to return, encounter with the dream child and finding of the list may have been the main plot in most other episodes.
We get to see a painting of Isaacs at the start of the episode that looks like Peter is going to die and its quite good how he gets out of the situation in the end. Syler though looks brilliant, he's so overpowered and it looks like nobody can be a match for him. As the arc ends we get to see repercussions of acts taken as early as episode one and one characters fate is badly telegraphed but fitting. There is so much going on in this episode that is set up for future events that I'm sat here typing this up wanting to see the next episode already. We have so many questions at this point; Is Hiro going to save Charlie? Whats going to happen to Peter? What is Bennet going to do with Sylar? What is Mohinder going to do with the list? Who will win in the ongoing D.L Vs Jessica debacle?
We have had a fantastic arc and we move forward onto our second arc in high spirits.
