Heroes Recap: One of Us, One of Them

Actual Peter called Nathan and warned him about the switch so Nathan confronts Future Peter. Thanks to the Level 5 escape, Future Peter doesn’t know where to find well – himself, either. The Villains begin a bank heist  and their leader Knox realizes there’s something wrong with Jesse/Peter. Noah’s partner The Haitian is unavailable so it’s the Noah and Sylar show! During the heist, The Flamethrower wants to assault a woman and Jesse/Peter stops him.  Claire’s moms fight about whether she should go to school. Claire wants to go fight crime and pretends she’s going to school but begins training with her biological mom Meredith Gordon.

Meredith’s idea of training is locking Claire in a metal shed and heating the place up until Claire begins to suffocate. She keeps asking Claire the real reason she wants to fight crime and Claire finally admits she wants to get back at Sylar. Boy, talk about your tough love.

Hiro finds Daphne who has already sold the first half of the formula. But The Haitian’s here and none of their powers work.  Tracy missed Nathan’s swearing in and talks to him and about trying to find Niki. Nathan still can’t believe Tracy’s not Niki. Tracy shows Nate the video and says she’s going to New Orleans to find answers.

Knox kills The German who just wanted to take the money and run. Knox says they wait for the company and beat HRG’s glasses into his head. Still stuck in Africa, Matt Parkman is on “spirit walk” with a man that paints the future and the painter also notes that Parkman isn’t supposed to be there. Parkman is shocked to see his life painted out on the rocks.

The speedster Daphne tries to divide Ando and Hiro by taunting Ando about being a “sidekick.”  Knox figures out Jesse’s not Jesse and tricks Actual Peter into revealing as much. Sylar seems like a natural at this cop thing, faking being an FBI agent to perfection and taking control of the crime scene. HRG goes in alone, armed with only a bulletproof vest to keep up appearances for those watching.

Hiro has a plan to get formula by pretending The Haitian has the wrong suitcase. Ando doesn’t follow the plan, hitting The Haitian from behind. While he’s unconscious that gives Daphne enough time to steal the suitcase. But The Haitian gets his wits back in time to catch Hiro and Ando, placing them in a cell at The Company.

Tracy goes to Niki’s funeral and runs into Micah.  Micah uses his power to find Tracy and Niki’s birth records. Poor little Micah hugs his mom’s twin, clone or whatever she is in a poignant scene. Peter figures out Jesse’s power just in time to stop Knox from killing HRG. Future Peter shows up and stops time then takes Actual Peter to the future to show him what happens. That leaves Noah in trouble. Sylar shows up and then Force chokes (I mean telekinesis chokes, heh heh) Jesse out. The Flamethrower makes a move and HRG guns him down. Not a bad team, not a bad team at all. That is until Sylar reverts to his old ways and kills Jesse.

Tracy finds the mysterious Dr. Zimmerman, he thinks she’s one of the others and says he created her. Claire sneaks out from her house and despite what she told her mom, she is not going to a cheerleader retreat.
