Episode 3.08 – “Villains”
The Heroes logo has been replaced this week with a Villains one and we follow Hiro on his spirit walk. He is looking back in time at what makes someone a hero or a villain and namely Arthur Petrelli. Much like Desperate Housewives a couple of weeks ago, we almost Tarrantino this week with a lot of intersecting stories that link up with events we have seen in the first season and it works well.
We learn that Arthur and Linderman are working together but Nathan is about to close a case that will expose Linderman as a crook and then fall back to Arthur who says he’ll talk to Nathan, and if that doesn’t work, he’ll kill him. We see Nathan’s car get run off the road and his wife’s crash that led to her paralyses. Angela questions Arthur about the accident thinking he did it but he refuses to be blamed. Later he is talking to Linderman about doing it right the second time which Angela hears and so Arthur puts the thought into her head that Nathan must die.
Linderman then becomes the hero when he heals Angela’s scars to make her see how Arthur has been manipulating her all these years so Angela poisons her husband with the help of the Haitian to keep his powers at bay. Arthur “dies” but he is still alive, having put thoughts into the mind of the nurse to tell his family he was dead and to replace his body for the cremation.
We learn some other things like Meridith and Flint are actually brother and sister, Elle used to work with Noah but she started falling for Sylar who they were trying to trick into taking the power from another person to see how he did it.
The ending was exciting as Hiro comes out of his spirit walk to hear a scream! The precog is lying dead outside, his head torn from his body. Then Arthur appears and grabs Hiros head who then screams.
I doubt Hiro is going to die, he’ll probably go back in time and do something, that or Arthur won’t kill him but just take his ability. Good episode, looking forward to more.
