After last week’s riveting episode of Heroes, I was anxious to find out what happened with Sylar in the circus, but this week, we get down to the real nitty gritty, and start things off with Sylar making love to Matt’s wife. Hubba, hubba!

As Matt wakes up, as if he’s been living through a wicked dream, he confronts Sylar and tells him he’s going to get him under control. He tells his wife he has to leave, but she leaves instead and goes to get help. Matt discovers that drinking puts Sylar’s voice to rest, but when he wakes up again, Sylar has completely taken over and is now running the show through Matt full time.

At the police station, Noah is trying to convince the cops to let Jeremy go since they have nothing to really hold him on.

When the police won’t budge, he calls in Tracy, who poses as Jeremy’s aunt after Noah convinces her they need to help him. Samuel approaches Tracy and draws her into the circus, trying to show her the family home the circus could offer to a boy like Jeremy. He could have the kind of loving family she never had. He leaves her with a compass that will always lead her back to the circus, but she goes with Noah. As they are leaving the precinct, a mob has gathered outside and begins attacking Jeremy. Terrified, Jeremy kills a man who comes at him, and though Noah tries to get Jeremy to heal the man, the police take him back inside.  One of the cops takes Jeremy out back and taunts him. They chain him to a truck and drag the boy to his death.

Claire and Gretchen are dragged into Hell Week games while discussing the nature of their relationship. While they’re hunting for treasure that could potentially get them out of Hell Week, Claire begins to suspect that someone is trying to kill Gretchen. She saves Gretchen’s life twice, revealing Becky just as the other girls come in and discover Claire’s regenerative power. So much for a normal life, Claire. Better luck next time.

Tracy and Noah have words about how Noah ruined Jeremy’s chances at having a real home, and Tracy leaves feeling hurt and angry. Samuel arrives at the scene where Jeremy’s body was found and in a rage he raises up and destroys the police precinct before walking away from the town.

I can’t wait for next week. We get to revisit Charlie with Hiro, who is bent on saving her so they can be together, but wherever there’s even a shred of hope, Sylar is always there to shatter it to pieces. Tune in with me next Monday to find out if Hiro can save Charlie once and for all, so the two of them can live the life they were meant to have together.
