A new chapter has begun with this episode as the catalyst has now been  placed into the formula to create the next “chosen heroes” to fight for a cause.

Hiro and Claire 16 Years in the Past: Hiro travels with Claire back to the moment she was given to Noah by Hiro’s father to be a possible holder of the catalyst. It is revealed that Hiro’s Mother was/is the original holder of the catalyst. However she is sick and dying. Claire moves to keep the catalyst away from her infant body and persuade noah not to give his new baby back to the company, while Hiro, realizing his oportunity, asks his mother to put the catalyst in him and she does. All seems well but Hiro and Claire’s success in thawarded by Arthur as he bashishes Claire back home and render hiro powerless . Meanwhile Ando, Matt and the comic geeks retrieve Issac Mendez’s sketch bookonly to  reveal that Hiro is now trapped 16 years in the past. Ando is detremined to find the formula (which has Arthur has given the catalyst), be injected and travel back in time to save Hiro.

This willprobably be the lead story to drive the whole show. The Cheerleader is no longer the savior but now it’s all about “save Hiro, save the world.”

Sylar Learns the Truth: Sylar calls Arthur after Noah has just told him that he is not Arthur’s son after all. He heads off to the corporate office of Sue Landers - a “human lie detector”  to steal her powers. Unfortunately he also sets Elle’s lifeless body ablaze and says goodbye with what appears to be a sadness in his eyes. After he aquires his new power, he heads to Pinehurst where he finds Peter and the Haitian attempting to kill Arthur. Sylar stops the bullet about the enter Arthur’s skull and coldly asks him, “Are you really my family?” to which Arthur replies with an even colder, “Of Course! I’m your father.” Sylar’s power reveals Arthur lie and with a single “No, you’re not!” Sylar sends the suspended bullet through the middle of Arthur’s forehead killing him instantly.

With Arthur dead there are no players like Nathan and Suresh to lead Pinehurst and Angela and and Peter to fight against it. The plot should be well served by this.

The Marine: The formula is now complete and is injected into a single marine as a test subject. It gives him super strength and give Pinehurst a new advantage.

Yet another major plot arises for season four.
