Season 3: Episode 305: "Angels & Monsters"

The episode opens with Nathan Petrelli narrating about his second chance and how everything's happening so fast. He's shown in bed with Tracy Strauss, and scenes are shown from various Heroes; Hiro & Ando digging up Takezo Kenzei, Claire getting a gun ready in her car, Peter confronting Sylar in present day, and Mohinder Suresh in the woods overlooking a village area. In his narration, Nathan questions whether he's an angel or a monster, hero or villain?

Nathan gets up for a late night snack and as he's shutting the fridge, Linderman appears. Linderman and Nathan discuss the various religious signs that God sent. Nathan disagrees that a dead mobster could be sent by God, but questions how Linderman knew Tracy would need help. Tracy comes into the kitchen and asks Nathan who he was talking to.

Mohinder confronts a stranger, saying he needs something from him. Mohinder says he needs something to "take the edge off". The man offers a variety of drugs, but Mohinder says he needs him, and grabs the man.

Peter confronts Sylar in his cell at The Company, saying he'll never be like him. Sylar informs Peter they're brothers, and as Peter goes ballistic, his mother Angela comes walking over. Peter breaks Sylar's neck, and drops him. Angela enters and Peter suspends her motion, asking what other secret's she's keeping. Peter decides to buzzsaw into her forehead to get the secrets himself. Sylar is able to heal himself back and then flings Peter against the wall to knock him out before he can get into Angela's head. Sylar asks if Peter will be ok, and Angela says she'll make sure of it. HRG comes up to the cell window, and Sylar goes out to meet him. HRG says they have a lead on a new target and need to go. Sylar is surprised he was asked to go by HRG.

Claire's adoptive mother Sandra is rifling through files of villains from Level 5. Meredith walks in, and Sandra tells her that Claire lied about going to a cheerleader retreat. Sandra says Claire must have gone after one of the villains and points out one man who is able to create vortexes and make people disappear forever. Meredith finds one man in particular, Eric Doyle, who she seems concerned about. Meredith says the man lives not far from there. Sandra says she'll go along, but Meredith tells her that's a bad idea and leaves.

The man Sandra Bennet had seen in the files (who creates vortexes) is shown having an angry conversation on the phone at a house. He yells about not being able to see his wife and kids, then in anger creates a vortex to make an object disappear. He hears footsteps and Claire comes up behind him, then hits him with a Tazer to knock him to the floor.

Adam Monroe grabs Hiro around the neck after he's been dug up from being buried alive. Hiro tells him he needs his help to find out the villain who has stolen the formula. Ando suggests it's a bad idea since Adam killed Hiro's father, but Hiro says as a hero he needs to make the sacrifice. Adam asks what's in it for him, and Hiro says a more spacious cell when they're done. Adam suggests Angela Petrelli, and Hiro says she asked for him to find the formula. Adam says he's out of ideas and Hiro teleports him back into the coffin. Adam then yells out that he has a plan for how to find the villain.

Linderman speaks to Daphne about recruiting individuals for a "New World Order". Linderman manipulates her, and she says she will do it as long as she gets paid. Linderman gives her a file folder about "others" she can recruit, including Knox and Suresh.

HRG and Sylar are driving to follow up on the lead HRG has. In the car, HRG again confronts Sylar for terrorizing his daughter and family, and for killing someone with valuable info. Sylar says rehab takes time.

Claire continues to confront the man who can create vortexes. He says he made one mistake and was judged to be a monster because of it. Claire says he needs to be put away. The man creates a vortex and pulls the Tazer out of Claire's hand, making it disappear.

Suresh drags the dead body of the drug dealer into his lab. He takes off his own shirt to reveal the lesions all over his back. Just then, Maya shows up, with a flier that was in the door, showing the neighbor Suresh attacked is missing. Suresh tells Maya he's getting closer to a solution. Maya notices a trail of blood on the floor and leaves the scene. Mohinder goes back into the other room and his neighbor is shown dead in a web of a sticky substance up against the wall.

The vortex villain interrogates Claire about who she's working for. He realizes she's not from The Company and pulls out another business card for "Pinehearst" in Fort Lee, New Jersey. The man asks Claire if she's with them and she shakes her head no. Claire tells him she read his file and he killed a man. The man says he got into an argument with his neighbor and lost control, killing him by mistake. He says he never got a trial was just locked up. The man says he just wants to be normal, to see his family and kid. He tells Claire to leave, and she's surprised he is allowing her to leave. Claire tells him maybe she can help.

Nathan asks Tracy why she was trying to commit suicide and she tells him about accidentally murdering a reporter. Tracy tells Nathan she needs to turn herself in, and he says it's a bad idea because nobody will believe her power/story. Nathan tells her not to turn herself in, because he wanted to tell everyone about his power before, but saw God and believes in a higher purpose now. Tracy tells Nathan about the doctor she met who may have created their powers.

Claire helps the man she met to give a phone call to his wife and kids, since she has the info in the file folder. He calls his wife asking to arrange a place to meet up with her and the kids. All of a sudden the phone goes dead on him. The door bursts open and HRG is pointing a gun at him, but sees Claire. Sylar enters and Claire's asking why he is there. The man who befriended Claire starts thinking she set him up, and he creates a vortex in the floor, pulling objects from all over the room into it. Claire, HRG and Sylar hang on to things to keep from getting sucked in. Sylar extends a hand to Claire as she screams "Dad".

The vortex disappears with Sylar saving Claire. She angrily asks her father if he's working with Sylar after what he did to her. HRG continues to ask Claire where Mr. Canfield went and she tells her father the man isn't bad he just needs help. HRG says he will talk to him then. Claire reveals he is meeting people at a carousel in a park.

Adam Monroe takes Hiro and Ando to a bar where "for hired" people go to. Adam says he needs a drink badly. Hiro threatens to put him back into the coffin if he tries anything. Adam orders a drink and a large man comes up to confront Adam about something he did with his wife. Adam says he didn't know she was the man's wife. The man goes to punch Adam in the face, but Adam ducks and Hiro gets punched. With Hiro down, Adam takes off with the other man chasing him out of the bar.

Nathan and Tracy visit with Angela Petrelli at the cell in The Company. Angela says she put Peter in an induced coma due to the face he took Sylar's evil ability. Angela also discusses Dr. Zimmerman, and how he did experiments with a synthetic techonology on infants, including Tracy, Niki and their sister Barbara. Angela tells Nathan they gave him his ability too.

Maya returns to Suresh's loft/lab and finds the missing neighbor stuck up against the wall. The man is still alive and makes eye contact. She tries to pull the substance off him to get him free, but just then Suresh arrives back home. Maya hides in the lab, and as Suresh is seeing that the man against the wall is partially freed, Maya unleashes her plague-like power. Suresh begins to feel the effects and screams for Maya to show herself. Suresh finds Maya and tells her to control her power, because she doesn't want to be a killer again. Maya calls Suresh a monster, and Suresh goes after her.

Hiro regains consciousness and he and Ando go searching an alley near the bar for Adam. They rush by a dumpster and Adam pokes his head out. Adam tries to sneak off down the alleyway but is punched out of nowhere by the villain Knox. Knox grabs Adam to toss him into a van. Knox calls someone via cell phone and says it's done, then asks what to do about the 2 Japanese guys.

Angela Petrelli says the reason they gave Nathan an ability was because his father was disappointed he wasn't born with an ability. Tracy asks why she was given it then since her parents died. Angela says she realizes what was done to her was wrong and that's why they divided up the formula and tried to hide it away. Angela says she needs help to get the formula back. Nathan tells his mother to go to hell and questions who else she used as a personal guinea pig. Nathan and Tracy leave and outside Nathan says they must find Dr. Suresh, who is harmless, but can help them find answers. Just then the scene cuts to Suresh making sure Maya is secure against the wall in the sticky substance he's been emitting.

Claire goes to find Mr. Canfield at the carousel. Canfield is in a depressed state and tells Claire his family never showed up to meet him. Canfield says his wife and kids must be afraid of him. Canfield says maybe he is a monster. Just then HRG shows up pointing a gun to his head. Sylar is a little ways off standing next to their car. HRG makes Canfield a deal, saying if he kills Sylar right now, he's free to go. Claire asks HRG why he's doing this and he says for what Sylar did to her. Canfield says they've already taken his life away from him. He creates a vortex and pulls himself in, killing himself.

Ando and Hiro drown their sorrows at the bar, with Ando saying they are the worst heroes ever for losing Daphne and Adam Monroe. Hiro continues to drink, and Daphne shows up with Knox, asking if they're looking for work. Hiro and Ando claim they've changed and are "badasses" now. Daphne says they'll need to prove it. Knox grabs a sword off the wall and gives it to Hiro. He says since Hiro has powers and Ando doesn't, Hiro must kill Ando to prove he's a badass. Hiro turns and faces Ando with sword in hand, and tells Ando he's sorry but must make sacrifices to save the world. Hiro thrusts the sword into Ando's chest, killing him in front of Daphne and Knox.

HRG brings Claire back home and tries to tell her that he tried to do what was best for her. Sylar is in the car and tells Claire that HRG is a user and tries to use them to get what he wants. Claire gets out of the car and HRG asks her if she understands. Claire says she does, and goes back into the house. Sandra Bennet finds Claire and hugs her and mentions that it's good Meredith found her. Claire asks what she means.

Meredith is shown eating dinner with the man, Doyle, she tracked down to see if he had Claire. The man has the power of human puppetry, and is using his power to make Meredith eat dinner and then kiss him. His place is full of various puppets.

Angela Petrellia is reading a file in her office. All of a sudden she's in what appears to be a dream scene made by someone else. She opens a door and finds Tracy Strauss lying on the floor in blood. Next to her is Nathan, who's laying bleeding against the wall. Peter is standing in the hall and Angela asks if he did this. Peter falls to the floor with an object stuck in the back of his head. A man's voice begins speaking and Angela turns around in horror/surprise. The man puts his bloody hand on Angela's shoulder, telling her she won't even be able to move if she tries to stop him. The man's hand reveals a ring.

Daphne shows up to meet with Linderman. He asks if everyone's on board, and Daphne says even the Japanese guy is. Next, Linderman gives her a file of a final man to recruit, but says he will be the most difficult. She opens the file to find a picture of Matt Parkman. Linderman tells her Parkman can alter her thoughts and make her see things that aren't really there. Daphne then tells Linderman she can sneak up on anyone except Linderman. She swipes her hand through him and says she knew he wasn't really there. Linderman tells her to just get Parkman. As the two leave the scene, Matt Parkman's dad shows up in a suit and walks through the courtyard.

Parkman's dad enters the Pinehearst laboratory building. He walks up to where a scientist is checking on an unseen patient. He informs the patient, who's on a respirator, that everything's going according to plan, and he even planted thoughts in Nathan's head, to make him think Linderman was having him dow the work of God. He then seizes up and says that Knox will bring Adam Monroe by tomorrow and he'll be ready. He says everything is going just as planned and then refers to the man as "Mr. Petrelli", as his face is shown, and Heroes ends to be continued..
