Spoilers

* You know how Elle channeled her overly abundant electricity into Claire? Later this season she'll do the same thing to a male character, only this time it will have some distinctly sexual overtones. Talk about good vibrations! As for next new ep (airing Nov. 11), we'll get to know her when she was an agent in the field, and we'll meet her partner.

* The next ep is flashback-tastic. (Don't worry—as I promised, we will settle into the present eventually, just hang in there until Vol. 4: Fugitives.) We see what really happened to Arthur Petrelli, and whodunit. Was it Miss Scarlet in the conservatory with the candlestick? My money's on Mr. Green in the library.

* We see Sylar eat his very first brain. OK, he doesn't technically eat them—"Claire, that's disgusting"—but you get my drift.

* Matt Parkman was buddy-buddy with villains back in the day. Any guesses as to which baddie he once knew quite well?

So next episode is a flashback "prequel pilot" of sorts
I must admit I'm intrigued by this episode, it looks rather good.
with this episode the writers are trying to clean the huge mess they caused this season... convenient, but still sloppy...

What's good is we'll see old characters back in the show, such as Thompson and Linderman alive...

and

Spoiler:
Elle

we'll have to wait till Nov. 11 to see if it plays out or not

Good stuff.

I wonder why sylar tried to

Spoiler:
open elles head

Because he wanted to shoot lightning out of ass, obviously.

Meredith worked for the Company??? O_o

I think it was obvious when HRG brought her back to look after Claire and the family....

... but it was only decided this season, hence the next episode will try to clean up the mess by trying to explain not everything came out of the blue this season

Am I forgetting something? Why did Claire seem so pissed off by Tracy?

What gets me is that Sylar and Elle never showed the slightest hit of a former acquaintance to one another before. And to my understanding he'd had absolutely no idea of his powers until he'd met Mohinder's father in Six months ago.

God all this bullshit is just ridiculous. They need to just follow their own damn rules and now their screwing with their own history to boot. It really pisses me off.

Otherwise I'm wondering if Meredith worked for the company then wouldn't she have known Noah? And that begs the question that perhaps she's known about his raising Claire as his own for quite some time.

Something else, since Sylar apparently is a Petrelli then shouldn't Nathan recall losing a baby brother or something to that effect?

Yep, they screwed up many things with the convoluted story and out of nowhere (read that out of logic) plot twist

Meredith obviously knew Noah, they wouldn't be buddy-buddies now if that wasn't the case... and I'm betting Meredith knew about him raising Claire, since she was supposed to let it happen and not get involved

Blonde ***** that her bio-dad is flaunting might be a bit of a put-off... though from Claire's POV.

She is becoming a real *****. 😂

Agreed. I miss Claire thinking she could help people with her ability, rather than just thinking she will never be taken down.

She still thinks she can help... shes just more annoying imo

I meant more the 'I can cure cancer with my blood!' rather than the 'Villains can't hurt me so I can obviously beat them' idea.

Haha, i understand now.

This episode is going to be aired this coming up Monday?

I share your frustration at the disregard for its own established history
