Trivia:

The scene where Bennet, Matt, Jessica, and D.L stand in the elevator listening to the "elevator music" is a nod to The Blues Brothers where Jake and Elwood stand in the elevator while all of Illinois' law enforcement agencies are taking any alternate route to the floor containing the Cook County tax assessor's office.

Goofs:

Continuity: In this episode, Mohinder says that his sister died a few months before he was born. But in the episode "7 Minutes to Midnight" when he first learns of her, he is told she died when he was two years old.

Quotes:

Claire Bennet: You know I've been thinking, after we save the world, I may go on patrol. You know, jumping in front of bullets, dragging people out of burning buildings...
Peter Petrelli: You're not going to catch me wearing a cape - zipping around with my underwear outside my pants.

In the last episode, Peter had given Claire a gun so she can shoot him when Peter's hands heat up. It had ended just like that so we now see Claire get her weapon but Peter now says, "Stop!" Seems he can control his powers. Ted goes with them while Matt and HRG look for the tracker of special-powered people. Hiro is still examining his broken sword when Ando finds a sword repair shop in the Yellow Pages and calls the number. When they arrive there, Hiro's father is waiting and summons his son to a secret room while Ando waits. It turns out Hero's father knows about his son's abilities and trains him on sword fighting in order to more effectively kill Sylar. Unfortunately, Ando left to find Sylar by himself so Hiro searches for him before he gets killed. Micah seems to get along with Candace now though they still have differences over Cruel World (Candace's view) vs. mostly Wonderful (Micah's view). Linderman comes and says he wants Micah to fix the voting polls to give Nathan Petrelli a landslide victory. Candace morphs into a black woman so she can pass Micah as her son at the polls to convince the pollsters of taking him to educate about the election process. Linderman also arrives at the Petrellis and cures Mrs. Nathan Petrelli's paralyzed legs in exchange for her support. Finally, he appears where Jessica and D.L. are and offers lots of money to agree to his plan but Jessica turns back to Niki who refuses. Linderman then shoots as D.L. stands in front of Niki to protect her then phases his hands to the back of Linderman's head as he takes his brain out. Sylar had overheard the conversation of Ted, Claire, and Peter and rats Ted to Agent Audrey Hanson as she arrests Ted who later gets his brain sliced by Sylar after Sylar makes the vehicle he's in turn over. In searching for the tracker, Matt and HRG find Thompson who threatens HRG. HRG shoots him. They then encounter Mohinder who knocks Matt down then pulls a gun on HRG who keeps his pointed at him while the tracker-little girl Molly-fears for her life. All this while Sylar's on the roof saying, "Boom!"...Wow, a lot to ponder in the next-to-last episode of the season. All intriguing stuff but I want some action now! Next week better be good, that's all I have to say...
