Tonight's episode of Heroes is brought to you by the letters "T" (for turning to a life of crime) and "C" (for coming on strong -- very strong).
Sweet little Peter, still trying to find out who he is, gets coerced into being a common thug, as his new gang promises to give him a box with all the answers if he helps them.
Peter, complete with Parkman's mindreading ability, hears hood #3, Will, think that he's gonna kill everybody and take all the money for himself once they're done. When Peter tries to "out" him, he learns that nobody likes a snitch.
In Mexico, Maya and Alejandro decide that their trip is taking too long, and it's time to steal a car and get moving already. They're horrible thieves though, and Alejandro gets pinched.
Nikki and Micah are back, but DL is still dead (glad somebody stayed dead from last year.)
Sylar wakes up in Maui, but quickly comes face to face with the harsh reality that he's just in a bunker somewhere, hanging out with "Mastermind" Candice (who is now calling herself Michelle, but as she's no longer played by Missy Peregrym, who's moved onto Reaper, I'll be calling her "Becky #2"). Sylar doesn't like realizing that someone is messing with his mind or his perceptions, and he also doesn't like realizing that he's still got a giant hole in his chest.
Claire reads Papa Suresh's book that West, her boyfriend/stalker left for her, and HRG comes in to apologize. They make up, and he tells her that she'll always be able to ask him anything.
Claire goes to confront her boyfralker on seeing her use her powers, but they just end up in witty banter.
Parkman freaks out when Mohinder arrives home early (he's supposed to be away on business!), and then has to watch as Molly reminds everyone that she clearly likes Mo better as a dad than Parky.
Ando, back at work and already slacking off, starts playing with Hiro's sword, and realizes that it has a message for him. When he opens up the handle, he finds a bunch of tiny letters Hiro wrote him -- from the past!
Back in time, Kensei is freaking out about his new ability, and he calls Hiro a devil, as he runs far away.
Caitlin comes in to see Peter trying to use his powers, and tell him not to worry about tonight. She wants Pete to trust her, and tells him that she hasn't told anyone about his powers.
It seems that not only is West a stalker, but he's also a total ass, as he pushes the topic of human regeneration in class until an anxious Claire storms out.
In order to win Kensei back over, Hiro shows off his own powers, and Kensei realizes that he can use these abilities to make money (wahoo!). When Kensei tries to ignore his destiny yet again, Hiro teleports him to a place where he won't be able to, and then bounces.
When West comes to smarmily make up with Claire, Claire lashes out at him about how she is different, and she's tired of pretending that she's not. West then makes Claire believe that a man can fly.
During the robbery, things go a little bit astray (don't they always), and Peter is forced to use his powers to help the gang get away safely. He jumps into the truck with Caitlin (and as I wait for him to drive off, I remember that they're in Ireland, and it's Caitlin who's in the driver's seat). They peel off.
Mohinder arrives at his new laboratory (built in Isaac's old loft!!!), and Company man Bob tells him that it was all built just for him, and that the Company's very interested in him (very interested). Bob puts his hand on Mo's shoulder, and tells him they're family now.
Hiro hangs out with the sorcerer's daughter, Yaeko, and she talks about how she's confused by Kensei -- sometimes he's nice, and sometimes he's a jerk. She's definitely attracted to one half of him (not sure which half), and it seems like Hiro is attracted to all of her. Kensei returns home, triumphant, and he gets the girl. All Hiro gets is a case of the blues.
Nikki drops of Micah with his voodoo grandmother in N'awlins so he can live a normal life. Micah's feeling very abandoned (and rightly so). Nikki's gonna go get "fixed", but she promises she'll come back.
Maya shows up to get her brother out of prison, but when her feminine wiles don't work, she just uses her "black oil" powers to kill everyone within a 100 yd radius. Once people start dropping like flies, her brother realizes what's going on, and mercifully, (thank heavens) he's able to get to her and "undo" everyone's death. As they're about to bounce, one prisoner convinces them to take him with, because he has a car. And guess what, it's not even a Nissan Versa! (but it is a Nissan Rogue. L)
Back at their hideout, Peter's new gang is divvying up their money. But then Will pulls a gun, and says he wants all the money for himself (just like Peter said he would). When Peter tries to say "I told you so," he gets shot in the chest. Luckily, he has Claires healing powers, and his chest actually spits out the bullets (get this mess out of here!) before closing the wound. Needless to say, everyone's freaked out, and Peter's pissed off. He's about to telekinetically strangle Will, but Caitlin screams and he stops.
Finishing his letters for Ando, Hiro decides that his work is done back in old timey Japan, and he's ready to go back (…to the future!). But when he tries to say goodbye to Yaeko, he decides he's just not ready to leave her (Hiro falls in love fast).
Sylar is not a happy camper because he doesn't have any powers, and when Michelle/Candice/Becky #2" tries to convince him how cool she is, and how she can help him get back on track, Sylar decides he'll just eat her brain instead, and start collecting new powers. For some reason though, he can't get them to work, and he starts buggin out. What's worse, he seems to be in the middle of nowheresville, in a big jungle.
Peter gets the family crest tatted on him arm (how sweet), and now he's an official member of the Black Donnelly gang. They even give him the box with his identity back. But spooked by his flashes of rage, Peter decides that maybe he doesn't want to know who he really is, and so he just makes out with Caitlin instead. While he does, his new tattoo morphs into our favorite "symbol" and then vanishes. Healed away!
Claire and Boyfralker are making out on the beach, when Claire notices a strange mark on his neck. Claire quickly realizes that she doesn't need to introduce this boy to papa, because they've already met…
As Company Man Bob gets a phone call from Nikki, Mohinder calls HRG and sends him the only painting he can find -- #8/8, which seems to depict HRG's death, while some blonde (Claire?) makes out with a dude in the background. Just then Claire shows up, and the meeting is awkward from both sides.
Next week --- Molly helps Parkman find "Nightmare Man," and Nathan shaves his beard!
