Written by: Adam Armus & Kay Foster
Directed by: Anthony Hemingway
Original airdate: October 13, 2008
Synopsis:
Nathan is confronted by Linderman in his home, and the two begin talking, but when Tracy comes downstairs she only hears Nathan talking to himself. They talk about their powers and Tracy reveals she accidentally killed someone. Nathan believes their powers came from God, but she reveals what she found out about Doctor Zimmerman, and the two go to see Angela. She confirms what Zimmerman did, explaining how they developed synthetic abilities and tested them on infants, including Nathan himself, theorizing that because of his genetics, he could handle being given powers. Angela asks for their help in stopping whoever is trying to recreate the project, but Nathan and Tracy leave.
Mohinder hits up a drug dealer in a park, but not for drugs, but for him, who he takes back to his loft and cocoons along with the others. Maya arrives, showing him a flier for his missing neighbor, but when she sees blood on the floor, she makes an excuse and leaves. Later she returns and follows the trail of blood and finds the cocoon of the missing neighbor, trying to get him out when Mohinder returns home. She hides, but he realizes she’s there when she starts to panic and her power activates. He convinces her to stop, but when she does, he attacks her and cocoons her up as well.
Peter, filled with the hunger from Gabriel’s power, attacks his mother to get the answers he seeks, starting to cut open her head, but is stopped by Gabriel as he tosses Peter against the wall. Bennet tells Gabriel they have a hit on another person they need to apprehend and the two head off together.
Sandra is upset, learning that Claire lied about the cheerleading retreat and gone after one of the powered villains. Meredith is shocked to see a name in the files, Doyle, and realizing how dangerous he is, goes to see if Claire went to find him. Unfortunately, Claire did not, and Meredith finds herself under Doyle’s puppet master powers, forced to do whatever he commands her to do.
Claire meanwhile has confronted and tased Stephen Canfield, a man with the ability to send people through a vortex, never to return. When he awakens, the two talk and Claire begins to see that he isn’t the monster the report makes him out to be, being someone who accidentally hurt someone with powers and was locked away because of it. She tries to help him find his wife and kids, and he contacts them, asking them to meet him later. Unfortunately, her father and Gabriel show up and a standoff begins as Stephen creates a vortex that threatens to pull them all in. He gets away, but Claire almost falls into the vortex as Gabriel catches her. She is shocked her father would bring Sylar here, but he convinces her to tell him where Stephen went so that he can listen to his story. Later that night at the rendezvous, Claire finds Stephen saddened by the fact this family did not show up. Bennet arrives and holds him at gunpoint, shocking both him and Claire. He tells Stephen to use his power to kill his partner, but Stephen refuses to do so, not wanting to be a monster, and instead launches himself into the void. As they all ride home, Bennet tells Claire he’s sorry but he’s trying to protect his family. Gabriel comments that Claire finally sees that he just uses people, revealing he knows what Bennet was trying to do with Stephen.
Hiro tells Adam more he needs his help, but he continues to choke him, leading Hiro to stop time and place him back inside his coffin. Despite Ando’s protests, he gives Adam another chance, this time being able to talk about why they need him. After proving to not have the information they need, Hiro puts him back again in the coffin, but he tells them he knows where they can get help. Adam leads them to a bar where one can hire specials for work, but Adam causes a distraction and gets away while Hiro is knocked unconscious. As Adam tries to escape, he is hit by Knox who loads him into the back of the van.
Daphne meets again with Linderman who gives her the next job: to recruit people to join him in a new world where people with abilities are not feared, but celebrated and able to live freely.
Angela drifts into a nap later and begins dreaming of the future in which she sees Tracy, Nathan and Peter dead. When she turns around she sees someone she recognizes telling her that he can’t have her using her ability to mess up his plans, that she won’t be able to stop him because she won’t even be able to move. She awakens, but sits still at her desk, unmoving, except for her eyes as she looks around the room.
Hiro awakens and is distraught to have lost Adam. Later, the two put out word at the specials bar that they are looking for work and Daphne and Knox both show up. To prove themselves, Knox tells Hiro to kill Ando, to which Hiro apologizes and then drives a sword through Ando’s heart. Daphne meets Linderman again who has her next target, Matt Parkman. She manages to find out that Linderman isn’t really there as she swipes her hand through his body like a hologram. Nevertheless she leaves for her next job.
Nearby, Maury Parkman walks quickly to a secure building where he starts talking to the same man that Angela saw in her dream, in a bed, hooked up to medical equipment, telling him out loud about how he has successfully fooled Nathan among others, into seeing Linderman. Maury answers questions that he hears in his head via his ability, and assures the unspeaking man that the team is coming together, calling him Mr. Petrelli.

Chapter Six 'Dying of the Light':
Volume: Three
Written by: Chuck Kim & Christopher Zatta
Directed by: Daniel Attias
Original airdate: October 20, 2008
Synopsis:
As Hiro is tasked with killing Ando, he quickly stops time, travels back two hours, and explains to Ando that he is going to fake stab him, and to pretend to be dead. Hiro returns to the future, and stabs Ando, convincing Knox that he can be accepted into the group. Daphne, shocked at what Hiro did, gives him his assignment to find Usutu and bring him to Pinehearst. In Africa, Hiro tries to find Usutu but the pre-cog hits him with a shovel as Hiro looks at a painting of that exact event happening. Ando convinces him to go back a minute to try and get Usutu again when he comes out of the small hut, but once again, Hiro sets a painting of Usutu hitting him on the head again. Finally, Hiro decides they must do things the old fashioned way and just wait for him to return. Once they do and go inside, Usutu congratulates them for not relying on Hiro’s powers. He shows them a painting of the villains they are looking for which include Petrelli. Usutu tells them they can take him to them, or Hiro can choose his own way.
Meredith, trapped by Doyle’s powers, is forced to break a glass and start to cut her own throat, after she says she never loved him. Claire decides to go find Meredith, but Sandra insists that she come along. Sandra provides a distraction so Claire can go in the back, but after hearing a noise, Doyle controls Sandra and brings her to the back and finds Claire waiting for him. He immediately takes control of her and disarms her taser, and has them all sit down and play a twisted version of spin the bottle and Russian roulette. Claire is forced to take a gun and aim it at her mother, but when she pulls the trigger, it doesn’t go off. When Sandra is forced to take the gun and it ends up on Claire, Claire tells her mother to do what she has to. Sandra fires several times, as the gun goes off and Claire falls backward onto the floor. Doyle is ecstatic at the event, and turns back to Sandra and Meredith, when Claire jumps up and knocks him out. Bennet arrives later to do his usual bag and tag, with Claire barely acknowledging him. As Meredith explains how she has grown up and doesn’t need protecting, he reminds her of the bad people out there, asking her for her help.
Knox takes Adam to see Petrelli, and while he isn’t scared at first, once he sees Arthur alive, and mentally learns of his intentions, he gets very scared as Petrelli takes his arm and drains him of everything in his entire body, leaving him only as a pile of dust. Petrelli immediately stands up, strengthened.
Daphne talks to Linderman, realizing that they turned Hiro into a bad person, and tries to quit but he tells her that she cannot quit, laying the threat on thick. She agrees to continue, as Maury leaves the area. Matt sees Daphne as he comes down the escalator at the airport and the two begin talking, with her being curious how he knows her. He tells her about his dream but she is freaked out by the thought that they were married, and goes to leave but he grabs her attention when he mentions their future baby was named Daniella, after her grandmother. She tells him to wait there while she goes to finish some stuff up. The “stuff” includes breaking Gabriel and the Firestarter out of Level 5. Gabriel refuses to leave but Daphne leaves a Pinehearst card before zooming away with the Firestarter.
Tracy and Nathan go to Mohinder asking for help, but he ends up injecting a serum into them both under the guise of a harmless DNA tracker, but actually puts them to sleep. They awaken to find themselves strapped to tables and ready for Mohinder to experiment on them to discover how their abilities work and how to use that information for himself. Daphne shows up and offers Mohinder the chance to work for Pinehearst, but then hears something and investigates, seeing the people Mohinder kidnapped. She leaves, realizing that he is as bad as the others.
Daphne returns to Matt and tells him that he wouldn’t fit in at Pinehearst, telling him to get away, but Matt says he wants to protect her as well. She tells him that he can’t and leaves.
Gabriel awakens Peter from his coma but is immediately attacked by him. He calls Peter his brother and Angela his mother, but it only makes Peter angrier. He asks Peter to read his mother’s mind but all he can see is the double intertwined helix symbol of Pinehearst. Gabriel tells Peter not to go to Pinehearst given his condition, but Peter knows he needs to stop the future he saw from happening. After Gabriel calls Angela mom again, Peter attacks him and the two fight, with Peter subduing Gabriel and putting him under sedation. He heads to Pinehearst as Petrelli and his team arrive. Petrelli tells them to back off as this is his son. He turns to face Peter who is shocked to see his dad resurrected. Petrelli asks for a hug, and apologizes it had to come to this, as he drains Peter of all his powers, leaving him defenseless on the floor.
