Heroes Episode 8 – Seven Minutes to Midnight
Many revelations are brought to light in Seven Minutes to Midnight, which kept me glued to my television, even during commercial breaks. It gives us a better clue as to what Horned Rimmed Glasses, Mr. Bennet does. In many ways, he has a clearer picture than anyone else about the future and so we see him multi-tasking in many ways; be it helping out our junkie painter with another dose of heroin or canceling out Matts ability to use his powers. Of course, saving his daughter is a priority, yet once again, there is something very shady about Mr. Bennet. 
The episode opens with Mohinder putting his father’s remains in the ocean and being greeted by his mother. On several occasions, Mohinder flashes back to days where he clashes with his father. He also learns that he once had a sister, who died at a very young age. Mohinder constantly has visions of a young boy and stumbles across a file his father had been working on.
We see that Eden, Mohinders friend is with Isaac, in some sort of rehab clinic. We also find out where all Isaacs paintings have gone to. He is in fact hidden in a secret part of Mr. Bennet’s “paper company”.
We finally get to see a clearer vision of Sylar who has been one of the biggest topics of mystery thus far. Hiro and Ando stop in at a diner in Texas, where they meet Charlie, a waitress who finds she has the ability to learn things with relative ease. Once again we see Hiro charming everyone but in Seven Minutes to Midnight, we also learn that heroes can be killed. Sylar waits patiently to make his move and follows Charlie in a storage room, where he slices the top of her head. Hiro, feeling emotions for Charlie and wanting to be a hero, decides he will go back in the past to warn Charlie not to go to work the following day. Things go wrong in his quest, which adds another cool twist.
Why is Sylar searching for and eliminating those who possess special abilities?
Our radioactive friend escapes the custody of the FBI which brings another twist.
The very last scene shows Claire making a homecoming banner while her father mysteriously observes.
Next week seems too far away to await my questions..
