CHAPTER TWO: DON'T LOOK BACK



Plot

Nathan admits that he can fly, while Mohinder digs deeper into the mysterious work of his father and the conspiracy that had him murdered. Meanwhile, Hiro realizes his exploits are the subject of Isaac's ''9th Wonders'' comic book (only to end up framed for his murder) and Niki cleans up the bodies of two mafia thugs she's killed. Across the country, a pudgy L.A. cop seems to be able to read minds and for the very first time we hear the name ''Sylar.''

CHAPTER THREE: ONE GIANT LEAP



Plot

Ahh, the episode in which our protagonists begin to understand their powers. Hiro stops time and saves a little girl from being hit by a truck. Parkman reads the mind of an FBI agent and is drafted to hunt Sylar. Then there's the chiller: Mohinder and his pixie-ish neighbor break into Sylar's apartment, finding a book on dissecting brains and a room with the words ''Forgive me, I have sinned'' scrawled over and over again on the walls.

CHAPTER EIGHT: SEVEN MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT



Plot

Isaac, it turns out, is holed up inside HRG's headquarters. HRG tells him that the cheerleader in his paintings is his daughter, that Sylar is going to kill her the following night, and that ''for many years now a number of us have been tracking, locating, monitoring people like you.'' Parkman questions Ted and discovers they both have the same pair of black lines on their necks. On the road, Hiro meets a waitress who can remember everything she reads — and who soon gets killed by Sylar. Hiro decides to try to save her by traveling back in time.
