HEROES: "Unexpected"

Last night's HEROES was a great one! They just keep getting better and better with greater cliffhangers. I just wonder how they long they can keep coming up with these awesome endings! Well...I hope they do! Best show on TV right now!

In this latest episode, Mohinder and Sylar (posing as Zane Taylor) went to visit a new HERO who had a super-hearing ability. As was expected, Sylar took off her head and took her ability, but not without a pounding headache afterwards. Serves him right. Unfortunately, Mohinder is still in the dark.

Matt Parkman got his wife in trouble with the diamond ring that he gave her. She tried to take it back to a jeweler and was told it was worth $40,000. Matt showed his wife the rest of the diamonds, but before he could take them back to the precinct, he was called by Ted Sprague (Mr. Radioactive). He met up with Ted and Wireless, a new HERO with the ability to hack into any satellite or Internet connection, and formed a plan to get some answers.

Hiro caught up with Ando, who finally realized that Hope, his "damsel-in-distress," was a phony. Without knowing it, Hiro stopped the bullet that Hope had aimed at him. He's still got some of his powers! At the end of this part with Hiro and Ando, Hiro said goodbye to his friend and boarded a bus for Las Vegas. Is this the last we will see of Ando?

While Isaac Mendez painted the future in hopes of finding Peter Petrelli, Peter was training with Claude. Peter stopped a stick in mid-air, stopped a tazer gun, and even flew off with Claude in his arms. As Claude wanted, Peter did things unexpectedly. But now Claude is angry at Peter for bringing his old enemy H.R.G. into the picture. Claude left Peter to fend for himself, and Peter went back to see Isaac about putting H.R.G onto his and Claude's trail. A fight soon started with Peter's newfound powers in full swing - from invisibility to telekinesis. When Isaac fired the gun, though, it didn't hit Peter but Simone. She fell down into Peter's arms and drew her last breath.

Claire's mother, who has been memory-wiped numerous times, started to truly lose her memory of all things - from her family to Mr. Muggles, her dog. Eventually, she ended up in the hospital with brain hemorrhaging. Claire finally confronted her "father" about his horrible plan of continuous memory-wiping to her mother. H.R.G. now knows the truth - that Claire's mind was never memory-wiped. This confrontation was one of the best moments of the episode.

But it was nothing compared to the cliffhanger ending! With Matt Parkman joining Ted Sprague and Wireless, the three of them showed up in H.R.G.'s house with an anger for revenge, a gun in hand, and a desperate need for answers. Only next week will tell if they get them or not.

For now, enjoy the trailer of this week's episode - UNEXPECTED
