Season 3: Episode 6: "Dying of the Light"

Heroes Episode 306 "Dying of the Light"

Heroes opens with Suresh narrating and images shown of Mr. Petrelli laying in his hospital bed, then Peter laying subdued within the Company and finally Angella Petrelli laying down. Matt Parkman is shown pushing a cart with the turtle he found in Africa through an airport. Nathan and Tracy are traveling to see Suresh. Sylar is shown waking up, and Suresh is shown looking over at Maya who he put up in a web in his lab.

We return to the scene of the Skunk Bar, where Knox has challenged Hiro to kill his friend Ando, to prove he's a bad guy. Hiro freezes time and teleports to a costume shop where he takes a retracting fake sword and some packets of fake blood. Hiro then teleports back in time to when he and Ando were in the bar with Adam Monroe. Hiro teleports in front of Ando and tells him to use the fake blood packets under his shirt, since he'll have to fake stab him in a few hours. Hiro returns to the present moment, where he turns and stabs Ando with the fake sword. Ando fakes death, and Knox tells Hiro he's in. Daphne gives Hiro a folder and assignment, to track down the precog in Africa. Ando and Hiro teleport off after Daphne leaves.

Claire dashes down the stairs to leave her house as her adoptive mother stops her. She asks Claire where she's going and Claire says to save her mom from the villain Doyle. Mrs. Bennet tells Claire "one of us one of them" and that since she's got no powers, she'll go along. Claire leaves, frustrated. The scene shifts to Doyle's Marionette Theater, where Doyle is continuing to hold Meredith Gordon captive. Doyle vows that he will make her love him once again, but Meredith tells him she never did and he disgusts her. Meredith tells him to let her go or he dies. Doyle tells her he's in control and she can't make a move, since he does it for her. He makes Meredith pick up her wine glass, break it, and then holds the glass against her neck. Meredith begs him not to kill her, and he eventually releases the hold saying she will love him.

At the Pinehearst Company in Fort Lee, NJ, Adam Monroe meets with Knox. Adam asks Knox about his power, and Knox tells him. Knox tosses Adam into the room where Dallas Petrelli is on a breathing device. Adam stands up and walks over to Petrelli, then Mr. Petrelli uses some sort of mind technique to get into his head. Adam begs him not to and tries to run, but Knox turns him back. Eventually, Mr. Petrelli grabs Adam around the arm and drains him of his power and lifeforce, turning him to a skeleton and then to ashes. Mr. Petrelli sits up and tears the breathing tube from his throat, and says "It feels good to breathe again".

At JFK Airport in NY, Daphne is looking at the file folder containing Matt Parkman and Hiro Nakamura's info. She shakes her head and tosses them in a garbage can, but Linderman appears, telling her that's a mistake. Daphne says that she watched Hiro become a killer and doesn't want part of this any longer. Linderman reminds her of some arrangements that had been made for her based on their deal, and Daphne agrees to cooperate. Linderman disappears as Matt Parkman is arriving down an escalator, turtle cage in hand. Parkman's dad is shown nearby hanging up a telephone, then walking off in disgust. Parkman spots Daphne and thanks the turtle. Daphne asks Parkman how he knew her name, then asks him to go sit and talk with her.

Nathan Petrelli and Tracy Strauss arrive at Suresh's lab/apartment. Suresh thinks its Niki, until Nathan fills him in that it's actually her sister and she too has abilities. Tracy shows Suresh her ability to freeze objects and says a Doctor named Zimmerman did this to her and Nathan. Suresh is surprised, saying this is what he's been researching all along and tells Tracy he feels they can be of great help to each other. Suresh gives an injection to both Tracy and Nathan, saying it's the solution to all their problems. All of a sudden, Tracy says something's wrong and collapses on a chair to the floor. Nathan starts seeing things blurry and falls onto the floor, then sees one of the victims Suresh put up in a web. Nathan passes out with Suresh standing nearby.

Daphne gives Parkman a business card and tries to recruit him to work at Pinehurts. Parkman tells Daphne all about his dream vision of the future where they were married and had a baby. Daphne tells Parkman he's getting kind of stalkerish, and is about to run off when Parkman says they named their baby after her grandmother, Daniella. Daphne rushes back over and is amazed Parkman knew this. She tells him to wait for her to come back to the airport in a bit.

Daphne shows up to visit Sylar in his cell and says she's there to break him out so he can meet the man she works for. Sylar refuses to go saying he's no longer a killer. He uses telekinesis to hold Daphne there. She tells him she's on his side and that the Company's trying to change him. She says the man she works for likes Sylar how he is. Daphne quickly puts a business card for Pinehearst in Sylar's hand and then rushes out to run off with another inmate.

Sylar goes in and unstraps Peter from the bed he's on and wakes him. Angrily Peter says that Sylar gave him his killer-type hunger and he wants it gone. Peter informs Sylar that in the future Sylar was different and found a way to supress his ability. Sylar says that gives him hope to find a way to. Sylar tells Peter he needs his help because their mother is in trouble.

Hiro and Ando teleport into Africa in search of the precog who Parkman met with. Hiro warns Ando to be careful since this man can see the future. Ando waits out front of the hut, and Hiro enters the precog's hut. Hiro sees all sorts of the paintings and then spots one of a man hitting him over the head with a shovel. Hiro sees that the paint is still drying and as he turns, he gets hit over the head with a shovel, knocking him out.

Claire and Sandra Bennet arrive at Doyle's place. Claire goes in with one of HRG's stun gun devices, and Sandra chases after her. Inside, Doyle is dancing with Meredith on a stage. Doyle hears a news coming from the front lobby area, and closes Meredith's mouth, then goes out. Out in the lobby he finds Sandra Bennet who says she's looking to book a birthday party for her son. Doyle says he doesn't do parties, but Sandra shows him cash and he tells her to fill out a form. Sandra distracts Doyle a bit saying she'll fill the form out right there, then notices Claire rush down a hall. Sandra says she'll leave to go fill the form out, but Doyle stops her in her tracks, makes her turn around and asks who she is. Claire rushes in and sees Meredith still frozen in position on stage. She tries to get her to escape, but Meredith won't move. Doyle walks in with Sandra and freezes Claire in place just as Claire pulls out a stun gun. Doyle says they have just one shot and makes Claire fire it into a puppet, then drops the gun from her hand.

Ando wakes Hiro up from being knocked out. Ando suggests Hiro warp back in time to just one minute before he was hit. Hiro at first says he vowed to never go back in time again. Hiro finally agrees to do it. He warps back in time and hides behind a rock, to watch the precog inside the hut, hitting another version of himself. Unfortunately, a painting on a rock shows the precog hitting Hiro behind the rock with a shovel. Hiro realizes it, turns and is knocked out yet again. Hiro wakes up again and goes to tell Ando he's done trying time travel on the precog. Hiro suggests they do things the old fashioned way and hide, to wait for the precog to show up.

Daphne speeds into Suresh's place where she recruits him to come help at Pinehearst. She hears a noise from the nearby room and goes in to see Tracy and Nathan on tables and other people in webs on the wall. Suresh tries to grab her, but Daphne rushes off, leaving a card with Suresh to contact Pinehearst.

Doyle has Claire, Sandra and Meredith seated around a table for a game of "spin the gun roulette". The gun spins and points to Claire. Doyle makes her pick it up and tells her to choose who to shoot. He realizes that Sandra is Claire's mom, but isn't sure what relation Meredith is to her. Doyle finally makes Claire point the gun at Meredith and then makes Claire pull the trigger. There's no bullet and the gun clicks as Claire screams. Doyle puts the gun down and tells Sandra it's her time to spin. He makes Sandra spin the gun and it lands on Claire. Doyle forces Sandra to pick up the gun and aim at Claire. Claire tells her mom it's ok to shoot her, as she cries. Sandra pulls the trigger several times and the gun goes off, firing a shot into Claire. Claire falls back and Doyle believes she's dead. Doyle stands up saying, that was fun. As he's turned towards Meredith and Sandra, Claire hits him over the back of the head, knocking him out, then says "show's over".


The scene shifts to Angela Petrelli in a hospital bed, recovering from the vision she had where her believed-to-be-dead husband was alive and taking out the Heroes violently. Sylar and Peter are there. Peter notices Sylar is concerned, and Sylar says she's his mother too. Sylar suggests that Peter go inside her head to find out what's wrong. Peter is knocked back and then draws the helix symbol from Pinehearst. Sylar shows him the card that Daphne gave him earlier.

HRG shows up and shoots Doyle in the neck with something to keep him subdued.. Sandra tells Claire she was amazing, and HRG is impressed that Claire subdued Doyle herself. HRG tells Claire he's impressed, but Claire shoots him a look and walks off. Meredith tells HRG that Claire's a young woman now. HRG says there's a lot more bad guys out there like Doyle they need to watch out for. HRG asks Meredith for her help.

Peter prepares to leave for Pinehearst. Sylar says he's concerned over their mother too, and this angers Peter. Sylar tries to stop him, saying he's consumed by the ability he took in the future. Peter and Sylar get into a fight, with Sylar saying he refuses to let him leave. Peter shows Sylar he's the stronger one now after taking powers. Peter uses lightning to blast Sylar against a wall, then repeatedly punches Sylar with Knox and Niki's strength powers. Peter puts Sylar in his place in the holding cell, hooked up to a machine to keep him subdued.

Back at Suresh' lab, Suresh prepares to do something to Tracy and Nathan. Tracy tries to talk Suresh out of what he's doing, saying she understands how he feels. She puts out her hand and Suresh takes hold of her hand. Then, Tracy uses her power and freezes Suresh's arm. Suresh falls back, and Tracy uses her power to break herself out of the restraints. She frees Nathan and they prepare to escape. Just then, a table flies across the room over their heads. Suresh is back up and tells them they're not done yet.

Parkman is about to leave the airport, and just then Daphne rushes in. Daphne tells Matt he wouldn't fit in at Pinehearst and he needs to stay away from them. Matt tells Daphne that in the future Pinehearst will kill her. He informs her that he met a man in Africa. Matt asks Daphne what Pinehearst has over her and say's he'll protect her. Daphne tells him she can't and runs off, saying goodbye to Parkman.

Hiro and Ando prepare once again to face the precog in Africa, this time at night. Ando spots a shovel leaning against a rock. Hiro enters the hut with the shovel in hand. The precog is at a fire, and Hiro prepares to bash him over the head. The precog tells Hiro that he passed his test, and stopped relying so much on his powers, but instead used his head. The precog shows Hiro a painting with the helix symbol and four villains around it. The precog asks Hiro to take him to them, and then he can follow his own path.

Peter teleports to Pinehearst and walks into the building invisible. Inside Dallas Petrelli is enjoying a drink as Knox, Daphne, Parkman's dad and another of the escaped villains are there. All of a sudden, Peter busts in. The villains prepare to battle him, and Mr. Petrelli says its ok, because it's his son. Peter asks how it's possible he's alive, then asks if he's behind what happened to his mother. Dallas tells Peter to give him a hug, and in doing son, Mr. Petrelli drains Peter of all of his powers. Mr. Petrelli reveals that now he has all of Peter's powers.
