Heroes-Superman Edition

Last night, on an all new Heroes:

Claire learns that she can never, ever, ever bring her flyboy home to meet her parents.

Peter joins the Irish mob, which is like The Godfather but with charming accents.

Mr. Kitty Pryde is dead!? While Parkman lives?! So not fair.

Speaking of Parkman, he seems to think he's 007, which is so sad it's almost funny.

Molly the Moppet wakes briefly to hug Mohinder, who didn't even have an impassioned speech to make this episode. Seriously, he's reached new levels of boring. He could at least change his outfit.

Jessicki is back, and starring in a plot line ripped straight from the X-Men. She goes to That Nerd Guy for a cure, but we all know he's just going to brainwash her into being his evil henchman.

That Nerd Guy also reads comics. I'm not sure, but I think it was The Adventures of Tintin.

The Wonder Twins are in Mexico, where Maya comes up with the brilliant strategy of walking into a police station, pulling down her wanted poster, and then announcing she's the murder everyone's been looking for.

Couldn't she have, oh I don't know, asked if her brother was there, thanked the man politely, then stepped outside to think about dead puppies, cry her tears of death, and then, after her rescued brother brings everyone back to life, escape while the confused police recovered?

But no, by all means, blow your cover and start a massive manhunt. That'll solve everything.

We finally get to see the true form of Illusion Girl, who learns that it's not a good idea to tease a psychopath.

Sylar can no longer steal powers. Ha Ha!!

He's also trapped in the middle of nowhere, after killing his only source of information. Double Plus Ha Ha!!

Basically, he gets her to admit that she's different (Heroes code for mutant) and then he says "so am I!" and he picks her up and flies off and it's all very Superman/Smallville.

Anyway, after various flying montages they're kissing on a beach and she notices that he has a strange mark on his neck.

Turns out her dad, back when he was Mr. Evil Glasses and working for the company, kidnapped Flyboy as part of the company's sinister mutant tracking/registration plan. (Yet another X-men plot, I might add.)

Unfortunately, the Haitian didn't remove enough of Flyboy's memory, so he still remembers what MEG looked like.

Does that help?
