Re-cap
Re-cap of Episode Chapter Nine: “Homecoming”
Narration (Mohinder): “We are, if anything, creatures of habit, drawn to the safety and comfort of the familiar. But what happens when the familiar becomes unsafe? When the fear that we have been desperately trying to avoid finds us where we live?”
Claire and Zach are enjoying lunch when the principal posts the Homecoming Queen on the school bulletin board. Claire is determined the winner.
Nathan has purchased the painting that Peter wanted so badly but destroys it by throwing a bucket of paint over it. He tells Simone that it is to save Peter’s life.
Jessica practices sharp shooting with a high-powered rifle somewhere in the desert of Nevada.
Somewhere out on Highway 12 in Utah Micah and D.L. Hawkins are on the run from Jessica/Niki. When D.L. tries to enter a restaurant a policeman interrupts him. When he returns to the car Micah is gone.
Mohinder begins his search in Chennai, India for Inyer Sanjog who believes can enter dreams and becomes a spiritual guide.
Simone tells Peter that his brother destroyed the painting but when she questions him on his belief concerning the painting Peter tells her that he must go to save the cheerleader. Simone shows him a digital image of the painting and that the High School was located in Odessa, Texas.
Peters immediately calls Hiro but Ando answers and tells him that they are already in Texas (Midland) and are very close to Odessa. Peter tells him to wait there as he will be there soon.
Isaac finishes the painting but it is of no help to H.R.G. The painting resembles a demon in red with outstretched arms and light coming from its fingertips. HRG tells Eden that the painting is useless and he wants her to convince Isaac to paint another one. Eden refuses. HRG tells Eden to find Sylar and take him out.
Zach tells Claire that he campaigned for her as Homecoming Queen and that she won the freak vote (or unpopular kids). Zach gives Claire a copy of Chandra Suresh’s book “Activating Evolution” and tells her that it has information concerning her ability. When Jackie insults Zach Claire punches her out!
Claire is grounded from the homecoming by her father.
Micah has run away from D.L. to a Greyhound Bus Stop presumably to return back to Nevada to his mother. D.L. catches up with him and Micah tells him that he knows about Jessica.
Mohinder find Inyer playing soccer and confronts him. He tells the young boy that two paths have been presented to him and wants to know which he should take. The boy answers that he already has the answer.
Claire is reading “Activating Evolution” when she gets a text message that Zach ahs come to rescue her from her grounding. Claire tells Zach that he must be her date. In response, Zach tells Claire that she must “embrace her inner freak” and not to deny who she is.
Peter meets Ando at the Burnt Toast Café and Ando tells him what has happened to Charlie and that Hiro has returned to the past to save her. Peter and Ando tell each other that they are really nothing without someone else. It is 7:19pm
Mohinder enters two dreams involving his father and learns that he must continue his father’s research. After making his decision he enter no to the question on the computer (Do you want to quit?) and a password box appears. After trying both “Darwin” and “Sylar” as passwords he tries “Shanti” which works and brings up a list of Heroes and their locations.
Claire runs into Peter at the High School and he asks about Jackie. Claire tells him that she’s not that special and Peter tells Claire that things get better after High School. Usually students select inexperienced custom papers writing firms. Therefore, that is completely not correct, because you are never sure about quality such firms offer. The best variant is to select the bestthe best academic writing service. When he exits the building he is standing in the exact spot which Isaac had previously painted. It is 8:02pm.
Sylar (still wearing the broken watch) is seen looking at the same trophy case Peter had just been looking in. Jackie confronts Claire in the locker room and Claire tells Jackie about the tape of the train wreck. An ominous shadow crosses the back of the locker room.
HRG is seen in the amphitheatre of the Union Wells High School.
Peter is standing in front of the sign at Union Wells High School. It is 8:10pm.
In the locker room Sylar grabs Jackie by the throat and begins choking her. Claire jumps on his back but he tosses her aside with no effort. She slams into the wall. Sylar points a finger at Jackie’s head and she begins to lose the top of her skull. Claire stands and her wound instantly begin to heal. Sylar realizes he has killed the wrong cheerleader. Claire runs into Peter coming to her aide when Sylar begins throwing lockers at him (again as painted by Isaac.) Sylar chases Peter and Claire and Peter yells at Claire to find a public place. She runs as Sylar attacks Peter. As Sylar attacks Peter pushes him off the edge of the building and they both fall in a heap. They both appear dead.
When Claire comes to Peter’s aide he sits up and begins reassembling his broken bones and body parts. HRG finds Claire and Claire wants him to go back and help Peter but he refuses.
In the meantime, Sylar is walking away from the school when he meets Eden. When he starts to attack she tells him that he does not want to hurt her and that she wants him to tell her all about himself but first he must go to sleep. The Haitian arrives and puts his patented sleeper hold on Sylar who falls to the ground.
Peter is arrested by the police.
Mohinder tells his mother that he is going back to America to continue his father’s research, to find the Heroes and warn them of the dangers they face.
Micah tells D.L. that he called his mother and we see Jessica in a tree sighting in on D.L. with the high-powered rifle as he enters the car. A gunshot rings out…
Ando sits at the Burnt Toast Café waiting for Hiro…
Hiro appears at Charlie’s birthday party 6 months earlier and tells her that he is there to save her life…
Narration (Mohinder): “We are all at our cause the sum of our fears. To embrace destiny we must, inevitably, face those fears and conquer them. Whether they come from the familiar… or the unknown.”
