S01E13: 'The Fix'

Family is at the forefront of this thoroughly intriguing Heroes episode. Matt learns he’s going to start one, Claire tracks down her natural mother and Hiro comes across his father. This was a major surprise for the viewer as well as Hiro, as it seemed plainly obvious that they were being taken to a confrontation with the shady Mr Linderman, but instead out popped Sulu from Star Trek as Hiro’s dad!

There's another treat in store for cult fans too, as not only does Doctor Who legend Christopher Eccleston take on a larger role as the moody, pigeon-fancier Claude, but he also utters the Time Lord's favourite word - "fantastic"! We're sure he's gonna take Peter on the trip of a lifetime...

Our heroes are certainly being emotionally churned inside out at the moment. Much has been made of the good and bad aspects of being blessed with special powers, but right now the latter is being dwelled upon. Well, unless your name is Micah and you can bypass pin codes at will and devour the contents of a cash machine. That skill would be very handy on a heavy night out when you can barely scrape enough pennies together to buy a mangy kebab by the end.

Overall, this was an episode high in emotion and a fascinating insight into the desperation of certain characters on their respective quests. The unleashing of Sylar and Peter-Claude combination bode very well for future episodes indeed.
