Meredith Fire

Here is the episode write-up for episode 13 of Heroes, called ‘The Fix’. Make the jump to read the full write-up.

The episode starts with Peter asking Claude for help, who refuses. Sylar is very close to death, although HRG wants to keep him alive. Hiro attempts to stop time to avoid a parking ticket, but he can’t, he needs the sword to control his power. They see a man with a gun, and attempt to escape him, but a black van turns up and traps them.

Nathan goes to see Mohinder in an attempt to track down Peter. Mohinder tells Nathan that Peter’s powers may be dangerous, but he may be able to help if he was able to study him. Peter finds Claude in the building where Charles Deveaux use to live. Claude threatens to kill Peter, and tells him not to follow him.

At Claire’s house, Zach is trying to uncover information on HRG, but they cannot find any. HRG comes home, and Zach quickly shuts the computer down and Claire explains that they are working on a project on Manatees. Claire signals The Haitian with some wind chimes. Janice believes that Matt’s story is slightly strange. Matt cuts the conversation short… he has to go to a hearing.

Ando gets caught by the people chasing them, and Hiro offers a trade. They just take Hiro too. Niki is visited by a Doctor, who tells her that she is suffuring from a multiple personality disorder. Niki asks for more drugs to keep Jessica at bay. Micah is frustrated with his father, because D.L. is struggling and Niki always seemed to know a way of making money. Claire asks The Haitian about her real parents. He tells her that he does not know about her father, but he does know that her mother died 14 years ago in an explosion.

Mr Bennet gets a call from Primatech and the man tells him that Sylar is dead. Mr Bennet tells him to prepare Sylar for shipping. As the man is unrestraining Sylar, Sylar’s eyes open. Zach manages to find a newspaper article about a house fire in Kermit, Texas that happened 14 years ago. It says that a woman and her 18 month old child died. Zach suggests that she may have family living in the area.

The review board ask Matt if he wants to have his statement entered into his personal record. He hears a bad comment and retracts his statement. He is suspended for 6 months. Hiro and Ando are told that the boss knows all about their mission, and he wants them to go back to Tokyo. Hiro tells him that he will not go back to Tokyo.

As Peter is packing, Nathan comes in with Mohinder. Peter tells them that they can’t help him, and he runs out. Nathan shouts at a guard that he should have been looking out for him, but the guard looks like he didn’t see anything. Mohinder stares at an open window. Maybe he flew. As Nathan walks away in search of his brother, we see Peter there with Claude. Matt tells Janice about his suspension, and Janice tells him that she is pregnant.

D.L. walks through the walls into Niki’s cell, and tells her that he needs her, and Micah needs her too. She tells him that she can’t leave. Meanwhile, Micah sees an ATM, and uses his power to make money pour out of it. Mr Bennet checks up on Claire, who strangely tells him that she is 15! I thought she was 17! Niki tells Dr Witherson that she can’t let her see Jessica, and she is told that she won’t see Micah for a very long time.

D.L. tells Micah that he is struggling, and he wants to be a good father. Micah shows his dad all the money that he got, and D.L. asks him where he got it. Micah tells his dad that he has a secret too. The van with Hiro and Ando in stops, and they meet the boss. It’s Hiro’s father.

Claire rings up someone and asks if she knows a Meredith Gordon, and that she is her Daughter. The woman she called was Meredith Gordon. Claire doesn’t see that her mother can create fire. Mr Bennet goes to Primatech and checks on the body. He removes a white sheet to find that it isn’t Sylar on the table, but the Doctor who was running tests on him. Sylar asks Mr Bennet, ‘How’s Claire?’

This episode introduced George Takei as Hiro’s father, and we got to know Claude more, who is leading a rather sorry life due to his power. The new set of episodes have really gotten going, and are a quite good start to the year. If NBC keeps this up, Heroes will last for a long time. Make sure you watch the next episode, ‘Distractions’. You can view information about it in the sidebar on the main site.
