Picking up, rather remarkably, four months on from the events in Kirby Plaza, the season two opener jumps straight back into things showing us where the heroes have wound up.
Claire and her family have gone into hiding in California where Claire meets West, a student at Costa Verde High school. Suresh, meanwhile is offered money by a mysterious man named Bob to carry out research against the Company and Hiro is still stranded in 17th Century Japan where he meets his childhood hero, the renowned swordsman Takezo Kensei. However, his hero turns out to be something of a disappointment, and resoundingly un-Japanese to boot, while we are introduced to a pair of new heroes from Honduras, Maya and Alejandro, who are trying to reach New York to find help from a doctor.
Nathan is alive, and now sporting a fetching beard, and is battling with bouts of depression and alcoholism while disagreeing with his mother over Peter’s ‘whereabouts’. Angela Petrelli and Hiro’s father, receive death threats informing them they will die within 48 hours. Nakamura Sr then comes face to face with the assassin, both of whom then tumble over the edge of a building while Matt Parkman, now promoted but divorced from his adulterous wife, becomes the guardian to hero-locating Molly.
Continuing the globe-trotting plotting, of which the show’s producers have spoken so much about and promise will feature heavily in the second season, we find Peter alive and well too. Well apart from waking up and finding himself handcuffed inside a shipping container in Cork that is. Not to mention suffering from amnesia too and getting himself discovered by a bunch of dangerous criminals.
