I enjoy this episode. There are a lot of elements to the episode, as with any Heroes episode. I think it's a good, enjoyable episode.

In this episode, Claire almost gets raped by the quarterback, at an after party. But whilst the attack happened, Claire got stabbed in the head by a tree branch. Meanwhile, Hiro convinces Ando to come on his heroic journey with him. Nathan uses Peter's accident for his own game. I hate Nathan. Everyone's on the hunt for Sylar. And we learn that Niki's husband is wanted for murder.

Best part of the episode: When we meet Niki's husband.

Worst part of the episode: Nathan.

Overall, I give this episode a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.

At the end of last week's episode, Hiro had been arrested after stumbling into the apartment of the dead artist who had a comic book that predicted Hiro's adventures to the letter. Hiro had teleported himself five weeks into the future just as he was witnessing a bombing in New York! Now we find him back in Tokyo five weeks before with his officemate Ando as he shows him the comic book he brought back from the U.S. He convinces Ando to come with him to help save a schoolgirl from getting killed by a truck during school hours. At the schoolyard, Hiro manages to stop time just as the girl was about to be hit as Ando witnesses the event and is convinced of Hiro's powers. Meanwhile, Claire the cheerleader tries to just have a normal life and is charmed when the school quarterback expresses an interest in her. That ends after he attempts to rape her and hits her head on a dismembered tree branch leaving her for dead. While Claire is indestructible, the branch in her head makes her stay unconscious until it is pulled out and she wakes up in the morgue with her body cut open! Matt the cop uses telekinesis to save the life of the woman who arrested him and comes home to a wife who no longer speaks to him. He comes to a bar and notices one man he couldn't read the mind of. Peter comes to his brother's press conference and gets angry when he hears himself mentioned as "attempting to commit suicide" in public. And Mohinder finds pictures of various people in his late father's apartment that later disappear when he brings the cops in and he finds this written on the wall in blood: Forgive Me...Things get curiouser and curiouser as the episode unravels and I am still intrigued. Heroes is one of the best new shows on the air right now and I am so glad NBC has ordered a full season. Well worth the acclaim and fandom it is getting right now.
