Yay for forward plot movement.
After Peter spent most of last season hanging out with criminals, I was really afraid he was going to be stuck inside Jesse until at least December. I'm so glad he's back to himself already. Now all we have to do is get him hooked back up with Nathan, although it looks like the two Peters will be working together to destroy Mohinder's serum that gives people powers. Or did Mohinder just reinvent the wheel and they also need to destroy the formula that Daphne stole?
Angela Petrelli is clearly on the special crack. Peter and Nathan are total disappointments, but Sylar is the son she's always wanted? He's just misunderstood and needs structure? She's deluding herself. Sylar's power is the ability to figure out how things work. It doesn't give him an insatiable hunger for others' powers. His need to feel special does that.
Angela seems to be almost as much of a sociopath as Sylar, and Nathan has been known to let his ambition get the best of him at times. Peter seems to have gotten the double recessive of every trait in his family. He must have been miserable growing up. I'd love to see some flashbacks of Peter and Nathan as kids.
Daphne and Hiro seem to bring out the 10-year-old in each other. I loved Hiro calling dibs on the formula hand off. Poor Hiro just really isn't cut out for intrigue, though. You'd think he'd have learned something from his assorted adventures over the last two seasons. Now he and Ando are locked up at Primatech--where Sylar now has free rein because he works there. That can't be good. At least the Haitian is back. I missed having him around most of last season.
Usutu's power looks identical to Isaac's, right down to the white eyes when he paints. Only Isaac saw all kinds of things from all over the world, while Usutu only seems to have visions about Parkman. Why Parkman of all people? Except for the brief plot regarding his father last season, Parkman hasn't had much to do with the other characters or with preventing future disasters.
For someone who died in a fiery explosion, Niki looked pretty good at her wake. I'm kind of relieved that Tracy really is a different person and not another alter of Niki's, although it looks like she may be a sibling. The way Zimmerman said he created her made it sound like in vitro fertilization or something, but you don't end up with identical twins (or triplets at least) unless one fertilized egg splits into multiple fetuses. Of course, I was reading the plot synopsis of a book recently that referred to a brother and sister as identical twins, so it wouldn't be the first time writers got that wrong.
Things are tense in the Bennet home, and Claire double-checking everything Sandra says with Meredith as if they have equal say isn't helping. I like Sandra when she shows her backbone, and she's clearly not happy with having Claire's birthmother hanging around and sticking her nose in Claire's business. I'm not sure why Claire asked Meredith to teach her to fight. Meredith hasn't shown any mad combat skillz that we (or Claire) have ever seen. She'd be better off asking Peter, which would be hilarious because Peter has the skills, but he won't use them because he doesn't want to hurt anyone.
Here's hoping the various plots continue their forward momentum so that we never again have to spend half a season watching three people on a car trip.
