Heroes 3.13: Duel - Recap
By
Nathan finds Peter standing over Arthur’s corpse. Peter admits that Sylar did it; there was no other way to end it. Now the formula has to be destroyed. Nathan explains that it’s too late; he’s going to finish what Arthur started. Twenty marines have already been injected with the formula. Peter tries to shoot Nathan, but he can’t, so he knocks him unconscious instead.
Back at Primatech, H.R.G. summons Meredith. Now that Arthur’s dead, Peter will need their help. They’re joined by Angela and Claire, just as the lights flicker off, and bars slam down over the windows. Sylar is back and he’s put Primatech on lockdown. Holed up in the security office, Sylar broadcasts over the PA: tonight, he’s going to prove to them all that they’re monsters, just like him.
H.R.G. hands Claire a shotgun, telling her to protect Angela at all costs. He and Meredith are going after Sylar, who gets to work on Claire, reminding her that the others betrayed her. Angela doubts they can stop Sylar, but Claire is confident she can. There’s a vulnerable spot on the back of her head; if something was jammed in there, her brain would shut down. Sylar must have the same vulnerability.
Matt thinks that Hiro can’t cause any trouble, since he’s still stuck in time on the flag pole. Daphne’s not so sure — if Hiro dies, the past could change the present. Ando, Matt and Daphne proceed to Mohinder’s empty lab, hoping to find him, but no dice. Daphne figures that Mohinder is at Pinehearst and rushes off to get him.
Another entry in Mohinder’s log: time is running out. The infection in his lungs is fatal. Injecting himself with the formula is his only hope. Peter appears to hold Mohinder at gunpoint and announce his intention to destroy the formula. In a sudden whoosh, the EpiPen of formula vanishes out of Mohinder’s hand. Furious, Mohinder attacks Peter, only to be stopped by Flint, who threatens to burn his face off.
Knox offers to help destroy the lab, confusing Peter. Flint explains: if the formula works, then those who already have abilities will no longer be special. Mohinder protests — not only is the formula highly combustible, but Peter is siding with these villains over Nathan, who only wants to do good? Peter begins to destroy the lab, explaining that Nathan isn’t in charge anymore.
Soldier Scott enters Arthur’s office just as Nathan revives. He reports that Tracy stopped the injections, so Scott is the only one who’s received the formula. Scott promises to stop Peter, but Knox snaps his neck in a flash. Smiling, Knox admits that he’s working for Peter, who’s one of the good guys now.
Nathan tells Knox that he’s backed the wrong horse. Peter always winds up losing in the end. Knox is surprised that Nathan hates his brother so much. Is he afraid that Peter will top him? Claiming he’s not afraid of anything, Nathan attacks Knox, but it’s not long before Knox has the upper hand. Just as he’s about to deliver the death blow, Knox freezes and shatters into a million pieces, courtesy of Tracy.
Matt puts his hands on Ando and doubles over, his mind overwhelmed with voices. When he comes around, he explains that it was like he could hear every thought in the city. When Daphne touches Ando, she goes back a few minutes in time. Meanwhile, Claire drags Angela down the hall towards Level 5. When she lets go of Angela for an instant, Sylar steps in to taunt Claire about her allegiance to H.R.G.
