Heroes - Chapter 6 - Better Halves

Save the cheerleader. Save the world.

Well nothing beats a flying Nathan from last week, so this episode was very plotty. It's just unfortunate that the best parts of this episode occurred in the final few minutes.

We finally learn about Nikki's dual self, who's an assassin with super-strength. And her husband D.L. who can phase like Kitty Pryde! OMG. Does this mean their son Micah is a Franklin Richards-type savant?

As for other details, we get teased again with Claire (the cheerleader) ever so slowly piecing together that her adoptive father is evil. But the bombshell of the night was discovering that Eden, Mohinder's girl companion is a mole! Dammit. Well, that's what makes things interesting. So now Horn-Rimmed Glasses Mr. Bennet knows that "someone from the future talked to Peter -- who may or may not fly -- that they need to save the cheerleader". Things just got complicated (as if it wasn't already, but in a good way, unlike Lost). So next week, some confrontation in the desert with more Nathan flying.

I love Heroes.

I think Nikki will come back. We need a friggin' assassin on the team.
