Due to lack of time, this synopsis has been taken from nbc.com:

In the barren wasteland that is the Nevada desert, Claire digs up a skeleton wearing a bizarre ring. “DL, you son of a bitch,” she says under her breath, “You actually did it.” Then it’s all business as she attacks the true task at hand: burying the two dead bodies stuffed in the trunk of her car.Moral, mental, and social advancement for good deeds. That’s the philosophy Jackie lays out to Claire’s dad as the political platform she hopes to ride all the way to school president. Claire winces at her co-cheerleader’s lies about rescuing a man from fire and at the way she flirts with her father.

Two days have passed since Hiro was last seen in the offices of Yamagoto Industries of Tokyo, Japan. Back at work, he fails to convince co-worker Ando that he transported himself five weeks into the future were he saw a nuclear blast obliterate New York City. To prove this seemingly impossible feat, Hiro reveals the “9th Wonders” comic book, which even includes a panel depicting the conversation he’s having with Ando at this very moment.

At Nathan Petrelli’s campaign headquarters, Peter tries to speak with his brother about his inability to fly again, but Nathan wants him to keep this to himself as busy staffers bustle about shoveling paper and false sincerity. Nathan is even less interested in a book that Peter shows him, a book on human genetics by Dr. Chandra Suresh, which claims that an undiscovered human gene may contain the potential for human flight.

Eden finds Mohinder tense and sweaty and desperately in need of sleep. For days, he’s stayed awake trying to crack the strange code found on his father’s portable hard drive. In a fit of frustration, Mohinder throws the laptop to the ground. With a crunch, the laptop spits out a secret: hidden inside is a small book with a key and an address for a man named “Sylar.”

Simone wants to sell Isaac’s paintings so she can get him into rehab with the money, but he refuses on both counts. All Isaac knows is that he must stop New York from vaporizing in a nuclear holocaust, and if Simone doesn’t believe in him, she has to leave. She takes him at his word and storms from the apartment just as Isaac receives a call from a stranger in Japan.

Hiro finds a spot indicated in the comic book where a truck is about to smash into a young girl. Ando doesn’t believe it, but then a group of girls approach, including one with a red bow in her hair, just like in the comic. Ando races into the street to warn off the truck, but it’s Hiro who saves the day by stopping time and removing the girl out of harm’s way while the world stands still.

 

Niki stops at her mother-in-law Paulette’s house to confront her about calling social services to take Micah away. Niki defends herself by throwing DL in Paulette’s face, but Paulette insists that “DL is a good man.” Niki has evidence to the contrary. She shows Paulette the strange ring worn by a man that DL and his crew murdered. Paulette stands firm in her belief that DL was framed and is glad that he escaped from prison. Niki doesn’t care. She wants Paulette out of Micah’s life and threatens to tell the cops where the bodies are buried if she calls social services again.

Police officer Matt Parkman fails to convince Audrey that voices in his head revealed the name “Sylar.” To prove his claim, he reads the thoughts that are going through her mind. Now believing him, she invites him to work with the FBI to help track down this psychopath. Audrey briefs Matt on the mysterious Sylar as they go to interview the girl he found earlier.

Sylar isn’t home when Eden and Mohinder arrive, and Mohinder breaks in to have a look around. Eden notes that Sylar doesn’t have any photos, but he does have a lot of books on philosophy, including a copy of Chandra’s book. Mohinder stumbles into a secret room containing a map similar to Chandra’s but with even more locations marked. In yet another room, the walls are scrawled in psychotic writing with the words “forgive me” smeared in blood.

Audrey walks Matt toward a saferoom where the little girl is being cared for. As they near, gunshots scream out and a man – Sylar, perhaps – drags the girl from the room. Audrey and Matt find the guard brutally murdered, and Audrey runs off to chase the man. Matt stays behind to look after the girl, who wonders silently to herself how he “found her,” her voice reverberating in Matt’s head.

Audrey corners the man in a utility corridor, but he uses the power of his mind to force her to put her gun to her own head. Matt arrives before she is forced to kill herself, and he fires at the man, hitting his target. But it does no good. The man heals in seconds and then is gone, vanished into the unknown.

As Hiro and Ando wing their way to the United States, Matt argues with his wife, Janice, and storms from their house. Arriving in Los Angeles, Hiro and Ando rent a car and head for Las Vegas, which is indicated on the final page of the comic book as their next destination.

Peter tells Simone that he’s quitting his job as a nurse. Simone wants him to stay on to care for her father, but he feels that being a nurse is not what he is supposed to do, that he’s meant for something bigger. Simone gets misty eyed as he walks away, hoping they’ll meet again.

At a bonfire party after a victorious game, football quarterback Brody woos Claire to some out-of-the-way bleachers for a clandestine make-out session. When he goes too far she tries to stop him, but he won’t take “no” for an answer. He throws her off the bleachers and onto the ground where he muffles her screams as he tries to rape her. She breaks from his grasp, but there is one thing from which she cannot escape. Falling backwards, Claire stumbles and is impaled by a wooden post that plunges through her neck, killing her on the spot.

On the way home, Micah wishes that his mom would believe that his father is innocent. She thinks that he’ll be caught soon, but he disagrees. A siren interrupts their conversation. They’re pulled over by a police officer who says that “Mr. Linderman” wants to see her.

At a fundraising event for his brother, Peter runs into Simone and confesses that he’s been in love with her since the minute they met. She’s dumbstruck, but their moment is interrupted when Nathan starts his speech, shocking everyone when he reveals that Peter’s “accident” was really a suicide attempt in an attempt to spin this into political gold.

Thoughts from the bar patrons plague Matt’s mind as he tries to drown his own sorrows, but when he focuses on a man sitting alone, the voices instantly silence and Matt crumples over to the soiled barroom floor. Meanwhile, in New York City, Mohinder brings the police to Sylar’s apartment only to find it empty.

Outside the fundraiser, Peter takes a swing at his brother. Nathan explains that he had to take control of things before the press did, but Peter isn’t buying his brother’s machinations. Moments later, Simone finds Peter bleeding and stumbling away from the fight. She intuitively knows that he didn’t try to kill himself and they head off together, kissing in the rain.

In the cold, lonely dark of the morgue, Claire coughs back to life. Her eyes blink open, she sees where she is, the slab she’s resting upon, and looks down to find her chest ripped open, her ribcage exposed in a bloody gash.

This episode starts with Peter’s brother Nathan telling him that he’s a crazy nurse and that neither of them flew. Peter knows damn well that he was flying, and he knows that his brother was flying too. You’ll come to learn that Nathan is a lying scoundrel… like all politicians. Nathan tries to feed Peter a story, “You fell onto a fire escape, and I had to climb up to get you.” Bullshit! I can smell it from here. Later, Peter’s mom visits and reveals a secret about his fathers death – he had actually committed suicide – he had a major depressive disorder. His mom also reveals that Peter was always her favorite… maybe that’s why he became a nurse… too much coddling from mother.

Back in Texas now with Claire Bennet – she’s convinced that there is something wrong with her, so she begins questioning her father about her natural birth parents. Mister Bennet’s answer is somewhat shady, and at this point in the show, we can’t tell whether he is good or evil. As of now, my vote is for evil, but he’s got a soft spot for his daughter, so I think he wants to keep her indestructibility a secret. Later on at school, the police meet with the cheerleading squad to find out who was the cheerleader who walked into the fire. Claire is identified, but before she can explain, one of her attention hungry teammates takes credit. What a ho! Later that day, Claire and her buddy are walking across the field in the middle of football practice – because that’s something that happens everyday… like there is a football coach in Texas who wouldn’t have an absolute shit fit if some random kids were walking across his field in the middle of practice. Anyways, Claire gets lit-up by thunderous hit from one of the players… it appears that she breaks her neck, but she just shrugs it off, gets up and walks off.

Mohinder Suresh returns to his deceased fathers apartment in Brooklyn, NY to find an “exterminator” bugging the phone. Mohinder acts tough, but we all know that he’s really just a little bitch. They end up scuffling and the exterminator runs off when the female neighbor comes out to save Mohinder. The female neighbor is shocked to hear of Mohinder’s fathers death. She tells Mohinder that she used to cook for his father and have long talks with him. Together they listen to his fathers phone messages, where they find a single disturbing message who we deduct is from a dude named Sylar. Mohinder explains that he had once found a tape of a conversation that his father had with a man named Syler. They search the house and find a disk that contains his fathers algorithm for finding those special people who have evolved beyond normal humans.

Hiro Nakamura lands in Times Square New York after teleporting himself. While walking through the busy streets, he sees a comic book… a comic book that he is on the cover of… standing in Times Square, exactly where he had stood moments before. He flips through the comic and it mysteriously documents his travels. On the back page, he finds the authors information – Isaac Mendez – the painter who can paint the future. Later, Hiro visits Isaacs studio where he finds Isaac murdered, his skull cut in half, and his brain gone. While being scrutinized for the murder of Isaac Mendez, we realize that Hiro is 5 weeks in the future from the time he left Tokyo. Then in the distance, we see a nuclear blast in the middle of New York City. Hiro uses his power to teleport back to the Tokyo subway where he started his journey. Yup… go back to where you came from.

Back in Las Vegas, Niki Sanders has a major time lapse forgetting to pick her son up from school. She also finds out that she’s a murderous bitch when she watches video tape of herself murderizing 2 dudes in her garage. She returns home expecting to find a couple dead bodies in her garage, but to her surprise, her garage is immaculate, but she does find keys to a hot old school Cadillac convertible. In the car she finds a note telling he to follow a map that is in the trunk. In the trunk are the two dead bodies from her garage and map. Niki follows the map into the middle of the desert where she finds a shovel. She begins digging until she hits a human skeleton… has Niki killed before? I think so.
In Los Angeles, police officer Matt Parkman is outside a murder scene that is being run by the FBI. He begins hearing a little girls voice in his head, “Please don’t hurt me,” she keeps repeating. Matt follows the voice into the house where there are two dead bodies, one pinned to the wall with cutlery and one frozen solid with it’s head sawed in half. Continuing to follow the voice, Matt eventually finds a little girl hiding beneath the staircase. Outside the house, Matt is questioned and put under arrest for conspiring to setup a murder in order to make himself look good. After listening to the FBI agents thoughts, Matt pleas that, “Sylar did it,” and the FBI agent becomes very suspicious knowing that only 6 people had been assigned to the Sylar case. Matt is arrested… watch your cornhole bud.

Episode # 102
Original Air Date: 10/2/2006


Crazy ass Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia) decides to leap off a building… great start to a show! First episode and some crazy mo-fo is leaping off a building! You’re led to believe by the title of the show that Peter may actually be able to fly, however the real reason that he is jumping is the fact that he is a male nurse. Not the most glorious of jobs. After he leaps, Peter wakes up to the soft, sweet voice of Simone Deveaux – the daughter of the man that Peter is a male nurse for. Peter discloses that Simone’s father probably only has a couple days left… then he’ll have to take his nursing somewhere else. Peter’s brother Nathan is more of a man, but not much… he’s running for office. And if their family wasn’t messed up enough already, their multi-millionaire widow of a mother gets busted for stealing socks. Who steals socks? WTF?

Enter Dr. Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), a geneticist from India. Mohinder lectures on the human genome project and the possibility of genetic mutations in the genetic code of the human race. Mohinder’s lecture is cut short after he hears the news of his fathers death in New York City. Mohinder believes that his fathers death was due to his research on human evolution so Mohinder visits New York to investigate. At his fathers apartment in New York Mohinder grabs what he can before being scared away like a little bitch.

Now, across the United States, another character – Niki Sanders (Ali Larter) is introduced. She’s a full blown cyber slut who strips on her webcam in her garage. Not only is she a cyber skank, but she does this with her young son Micah in the house. What a tramp! She is interupted by 2 dudes who kill the show and force her to run out of her house. She drops her son off at her mothers and later returns – her house is torn apart and the 2 dudes show back up demanding 50 G’s. She doesn’t have it, so they smack the ho down. When she wakes up with blood all over the place, she sees that the 2 men have been murderized. (I think I may have to copyright that word) I think this was about the time that Niki realized that she’s all fucked up in the head.

Now in Texas – enter the cheerleader, Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere), you know… “save the cheerleader, save the world”. That chick. She just took a plunge from the top of a tower, kinda like what Peter was trying to do, but this girl had no one to save her. She hits the ground like a ton of bricks, smashing every bone in her body. Somehow, she pops up “re-aligns” herself and walks off without a scratch. By the way… she’s done this 6 times. Yup… six. The next time we see her, she’s rushing into a blazing inferno and somehow escapes untouched. She’s probably going to get in trouble for burning her cheerleading outfit.

Now, over in Japan, Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka) finds out that he can rewind time by… what looks to me as squeezing out the fattest duece man has ever seen. He will shit himself at least 3 times before the season ends. Mark my words.

Who’s next you ask? The heroin addict painter – Isaac Mendez (Santiago Cabrera). Isaac has painted things that haven’t occurred yet.
