Review - 'Heroes' - One Of Us, One Of Them

Angela Petrelli is evil, and that’s her good side!

After telling Sylar (Zachary Quinto) she is his mother, and she gave him up for adoption, Angela Petrelli (Cristine Rose) offers to feed him. Enter Bridget, a woman with the power to tell the history of anyone or anything just by touching it. Mama Petrelli leaves the room, and we hear poor Bridget screaming. We’ll never see her again!

Meanwhile, spurred on by Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar), Tracy Strauss (Ali Larter) seeks out Nikki Sanders, and finds her dead in New Orleans. Mycah (Noah Gray-Cabey), somehow alone in the funeral home with Nikki’s body, helps Tracy learn that she was born on the same day at the same hospital as his mother, both delivered by a Dr. Zimmerman.

Tracy seeks out Zimmerman, who at first thinks she someone named Barba, and then informs her that he created her. This lends credence to my belief that there were a number of duplicates made of her, all with super-powers, but carried by different women.

The supervillains who escaped Primatech prison attempt to rob a bank, with Peter-in-Jesse’s body (Francis Capra and Milo Ventimiglia) tries simultaneously to stop them and not be found out by them.

Enter the new team of Noah Bennett (Jack Coleman) and Sylar to save the day. When Angela Petrelli teamed the two together, Bennett objected, but soon found Sylar a capable partner. Sylar quickly took control of the standoff at the bank, ordering the police around and demanding decaf.

While this is going on, Future Peter releases Present Peter from Jesse’s body, but not before there is a scuffle between Noah and the baddies.

Sylar quickly subdues the supervillains, and promptly, against Bennett’s admonishment, “feeds” on the remaining supervillains. As a result, he is brought back to Primatech prison, where we learn Noah is just waiting for a chance to kill Sylar.

In the meantime, Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) are in Berlin, to head off speedster Daphne from taking possession of the other half of the formula she stole. The find her, and promptly find that neither Daphne’s (Brea Grant) nor Hiro’s powers work there. It turns out that Daphne’s liaison is the Haitian (Jimmy Jean-Louis), whose role in obtaining the formula is unclear.
