Tonight we finally got to see Mr. Linderman. The man has money and men at his disposal and he was in his casino’s kitchen cooking? We also now know why Hiro told Peter he looks different without his scar when they met on the subway earlier in the season.

Unlike last week, “Parasite” jumped between a few different narratives. And unlike Lost, it jumped between narratives quite well. Yes, this is my moment to state that I think Heroes is the best show on television right now. I also think the writers of Lost should take some notes on how to answer questions and leave a cliffhanger. Heroes sets up plenty for you to wonder about; but when your questions are answered, the show answers things you didn’t even know you were wondering yet.

Claire ditches the Haitian to try and find Peter Petrelli, having decided he is the only person she can trust. When she gets there, she finds Grandma Petrelli and the Haitian. Grandma tells Claire who she is and that they’re trying to protect her. If she knows about Claire’s powers, I wonder if she is aware of Nathan and Peter’s powers and if she has power of her own. I also wonder if there is something about Claire that requires more protection than her own sons. I guess it goes back to “Save the Cheerleader. Save the World.” But it was nice to find out for whom the Haitian has been working all this time. And I bet she and Linderman had an affair. I’ll eat brains with Sylar if she didn’t.

Nathan Petrelli has been working with the FBI on gathering evidence against Linderman. Unfortunately, Linderman is aware of this little fact and has Nathan’s FBI handlers killed. He does, however, make Nathan an offer he apparently can’t refuse. Ultimately it boils down to the choice of life or death. It will be interesting to learn what Linderman’s terms are because it is quite a lucrative offer as far as Nathan is concerned.
