Chapter Five 'Hiros'

"Save the cheerleader, save the world."

The words get mentioned for the first time and that really sums up the first series.

The words were said by the Hiro from the future who seeks out Peter Petrelli.

The Hiro from the present meets a flying Nathan Petrelli in a diner outside Las Vegas.

The episode is at its best as characters interact with each other, unknowing how they are linked with each other. Nathan and Niki for example. Niki even meets Ando, her online client from Japan.

The sinister Mr Bennet seems to be aware of Claire's powers. He uses his own powers at his disposal to give a memory wipe to the douchebag quarterback. Another character who is interacting with the other Heroes.
