Heroes Episode 9 - Homecoming
Claire’s gets elected as homecoming queen to her own surprise but to disgust of her rival cheerleader who looking for attention claimed she had heroically saved a dying man from a fiery crash.
Nathan destroyed the painting he recuperated from Linderman, for what reason, we must wait to see. Peter is so convinced it is “the” key to a puzzle he questions Simone on its description. She is starting to become a believer and reveals a print photo which Nathan did not know existed. It shows Peter dead in his quest to save the cheerleader, reason why Nathan destroyed the original. Does this really mean that Nathan actually has a heart??
Jackie, Claire’s rival provokes Claire’s patience one too many times and suddenly finds her laying flat on her back as Claire slugs her a good one. For Mr. Bennett, who clearly knows he needs to protect his daughter, this act is good enough to ground her from going to the homecoming game which is where horrible things are supposed to happen, according to Isaacs paintings.
D.L. and Micah finally set things straight, when his son tries to escape so he can return home to his mother. D.L. tries to explain the situation with Niki, only to discover that Micah may know more about her than anyone, claiming he’s seen both sides of his mother in Niki and Jessica.
Mohinder wanders India’s streets in search of the dream boy who he’s seen in his dreams and who’s file was found in his fathers desk. What secret does the boy hold? Mohinder finally finds him and asks why does he enter his dreams. The boy tells him that he doesn’t come to people, they come to him, looking for answers to questions. Mohinder wants to know what path to take and is responded by “you already know the answer”.
Peter after meeting with Endo, who then explains that Hiro has gone back in the past to save Charlie cannot wait any longer and heads towards the high school. Even with the graphic photo in his possession, he doesn’t seem too afraid of his future. Endo explains that Hiro thought that the same person who killed Charlie may be the same person wanting to exterminate the cheerleader as well.
Mohinder cracks the code on his fathers computer and finds a list of names. Are these people future victims of Sylar and how many will we see in upcoming episodes?
Claire decides that she shouldn’t miss homecoming and sneaks out. Horned Rimmed was pretty upset when he found out.
At the high school, a shrine displaying “Jackie’s” heroics are in full view and Peter gets a glimpse of the girl he thinks he needs to save. Moments later though, we finally see the ominous face of Sylar who also sees his next victim. Claire and Jackie find themselves alone in the girls locker room and something just doesn’t seem right. Claire turns around to see Jackie in the process of being murdered. A loud scream alerts Horned Rim and Peter. Sylar quickly realizes he has the wrong girl. At 8:12 pm, time when Peter was to die, we see two bloody bodies; that of Sylar and Peter, lying on the pavement.
Moments later, when Claire finds Peter, Sylar is gone. Peter being able to mimic powers of other heroes quickly heals in the presence of Claire. She then runs off to find help and in to the arms of Horned Rim. She pleads to go back and help Peter, but he insists the police will take care of everything. Again, he is extremely suspicious.
We find out what powers Eden possesses as Sylar runs in to her. She is able to persuade people to do things and demands he go to sleep. Haitian man also comes out of the woodwork and puts Sylar down.
The show ends with Niki’s alter ego taking aim at D.L. with a high powered rifle and Hiro, again with Charlie, six months earlier. This should make for a great new episode.
