How does heroes season 2 end

We learn that Nikki's husband didn't die on the Plaza, but later when her mind fractured again and took her to LA. Allejandro and Maya's story begins in Venezuela. It's nice to see what happened to at least some of our heroes in the missing four months between Season 1 and season 2, filling in the blanks and giving more backstory to the current plot, but some of those stories are more successful than others.

Peter's story is the strongest and ties up the end of the apocalyptic battle that was the climax of Season 1. This story was definitely worth telling. Nikki's story is much more contrived and doesn't really add anything other than giving us a reason for why she came to work for the Company and the Allejandro and Maya story is exactly like every other episode they have been in except that it is the first time it happens. As Hiro refuses to let his father die and gains one last insight into what it means to be a true hero, Matt Parkman is faced with a moral dilemma over his newfound power of persuasion and Mohinder and Mr Bennett face off in the scene that Isaac Mendez painted as ending with Bennett's death.

The central, in fact only, plot here is the story about how the Bennetts go up against the company. How Bob and Mr Bennett face off with both their daughters as the victims and Mohinder as the central pawn. This is fast-moving and exciting and makes up for the total lack of anything else happening elsewhere. Matt's moral dilemma over his new power is interesting but understated and Hiro's bouncing back and forth in time in order to learn that sometimes being a hero means having to do what you least want to is just an overlong spelling out of the theme of the week's show.

Still, we have a scene where a flying boy, unkillable cheerleader and electricity girl all face off, the death of a major character and a twist in the tail to die for. Claire and her family are forced to come to terms with her father's death and she determines how best to make the company pay for what they have done. Both Hiro and Peter Petrelli learn the truth about the Shanti virus that will destroy the world, but their truths are different, leading them into conflict with each other over Adam.

Sylar comes home, killing Maya's brother along the way. There's a sense of convergence over the storylines in this episode, but it's only a partial one. Some of the stories are colliding quite quickly and strongly now whilst others seem to have no connection at all to date. That said, the two main threads with Hiro and Peter learning different things are the most interesting at the moment and so it's good that they form the core of the episode.

Sylar's murderous nature takes centre stage again, acts taking the place of ridiculous posturing and Mohinder continues to bounce around the moral compass like a ball in a lottery machine. Adam takes Peter into Primatech Paper, duping him into believing that the intention is to destroy the virus rather than to use it. Hiro faces off against them and loses, but the arrival of Nathan and Matt balances the sides up again. Meanwhile, Sylar demands help from Mohinder, using Molly as leverage.

The company forces Mr Bennett to make a deal for his daughter's life and another's attempt to go public with the truth leads to tragedy.

The slow build up of the story to this point is thrown into the dustbin as one episode attempts to wrap up most of the stories neatly whilst setting up cliffhangers with some others. That makes for a jarring amount of action forced into a space that isn't big enough for it. Once again the big finale is fluffed, the battle between Peter and the other heroes being a big letdown. The truncated series is as a result of the writers' strike and the stories that are tied up prematurely are the less effective whilst the cliffhangers are great enough to make sure that we'll be back for Season 3.

Bear in mind, this was the , college version of me, who was known to sometimes skip her Monday evening classes, because there was no such thing as "DVR" or "streaming" or "Hulu" yet. So if I missed Heroes on Monday night, I was out of luck. For four seasons, I stuck with the show. Through the good times and the many bad times, I watched it all. And now, since a spinoff series premieres Thursday night, I've put together a one-stop recap of the original Heroes series , so you don't have to sit through a four-season marathon that would last roughly 50 hours.

While the events of Heroes Reborn aren't directly tied to those of Heroes , they are still connected. The big thing to know is that these heroes are just regular people who one day wake up with intense powers. Some can fly, some can alter time and space, and one little kid can talk to computers. The heroes are known as "evos," which is short for "evolved humans. That was the basic premise sustaining Heroes throughout its run, and here are the other details you should know before delving into Heroes Reborn when it premieres on NBC at 8 p.

The very beginning. This is where everything is set up, so it's a whole lot of backstory about every single character. The important ones to note are:. The plot of the season revolves around a premonition: there's going to be a huge explosion in New York City. Peter believes that he is the reason behind this explosion, and tries to figure out what to do with this information. Another huge piece of information revealed in Season 1 is that Claire is not HRG's biological daughter, but instead the daughter of Nathan and a woman named Meredith Gordon, who is pyrokenetic.

The Company actually took Claire as a young baby, but HRG felt a bond with the little girl, and kept her as his own, hiding her away from The Company, which we also learn is run by Hiro's dad, Kaito. The end of the season shows everything come to a head, with mostly all of the evos in New York City.

Peter learns that he actually is the explosion, so his high-flying brother takes him up into the air where he won't harm anyone. The day is saved! Season 2 was ridiculously short with only 11 episodes. Maybe you remember the dark time of television, also known as the Writer's Strike.

Television literally stopped, which meant Heroes had to stop too, and the series was left with a super-short season and so many unanswered and strange questions. Nathan prepares for a press conference. Sylar injects himself with the blood Mo prepared.

Hang on… Dead Petrellis, characters with bullet holes, explosions? And not a little disappointing. This often renders both of those series a little impotent. This instantly bursts a bubble of belief. However, Heroes has taken this a step further. Kill a character and then revive them?

This is the biggest problem I see with Chapter 3. Skip to main content area. Join our mailing list Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox!
