Nathan becomes the focus of an investigation by Homeland Security. Meanwhile, Nathan's agents hunt for Sylar and Luke. Hiro and Ando go to India, led by Matt's prophetic images.
 
Hiro's really not adjusting well to the fact that Ando has powers and he doesn't...
 
Wait did Sylar emphatically take his powers? Because he had a reddish tinge in the mirror.
 
Two and half episodes before the plot credibility dropped south (in the new Volume).

Tracy the remorseful is now Tracy the premeditated murderer - timed perfectly on cue to fix the one conflict introduced earlier in the episode but which we knew would be resolved by the end.

Still good fun if the mind is shut off, imo.

I personally wondered if they were going to have the Homeland Security woman be the one killed by Tracy.

I do wonder if this may have been some secret plan of Nathan or the Hunter's: Have Tracy's bonds rigged to give out in a bit so she can show off her powers and justify their capture program.

Edit: HA! I was right! Nathan pulled off a Xanatos Gambit.

I like your thinking - good devious mind.

Excellent call.

Almost better than Hunter's prediction that Tracy would go bezerk and kill someone for no discernible reason.

Hopefully the body count of hunters will be fewer than the heroes they round up.


Psycho killer !!

Best sense of humor in the show ever, even better than "Cake?"
 
"Psycho Killer", heh. Prophetic radio.

Well, they kept Nathan as a semi-good guy by making the Hunter responsible. But Nathan still knew what was going on and went with it.

Nice that Peter and co decided to pull a "Company" on HRG.

I would've liked it if Nathan really was the one behind Tracy's failed escape. It might draw a nicer dichotomy between him and Peter: Nathan is a self-viewed pragmatist whose gradually becoming more Machiavellian and darker-edged in the pursuit of security and the "greater good" while Peter is a slightly unstable "Messiah" (or wannabe Messiah) for the powered people while from every POV that is not a powered person's, he's a low-level terrorist leader out to trash the existing power structure despite there being a real danger from powered folks.
