Episode Report Card Couch Baron: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Sins Of The Father... And Sister
By Couch Baron | Season 3 | Episode 23 | Aired on 04.13.2009
...and back with Claire, Angela's talking about how she tried to make them stop in order to save Alice and whatever, and when Claire asks why, if Alice is her sister, she's trying to send them off to the land of Oz or whatever, and Angela duhs that she's angry. Noting Claire's skepticism, Angela then rushes out into the storm, which immediately abates -- but when Claire heads outside seconds later, Angela's gone. Nathan and Peter return, and Claire tells them about the disappearance, and we then pull up to an aerial shot of everyone looking around uncertainly before going to commercial.
When we return, Mohinder is boo-hooing about the apparent fact that his father was a mass murderer, as if we all don't have our sad stories. Also, if he's that broken up about it, maybe he should take solace in Chandra's brutal eventual murder. Bennet opines that working with the enemy doesn't necessarily make you the enemy, and Bennet, I like you, so don't take this the wrong way, but perhaps you're not the best person to render an objective opinion on that subject. However, he adds that he knows from personal experience that Chandra was a good man, and Mohinder shouldn't make any assumptions, and wow, with less than three episodes to go, do I really not care about Mohinder's emotional crisis over his father, so let's move on to where Nathan, Peter, and Claire join them after unsuccessfully attempting to locate Angela and they split up into two groups to look for her...
...and soon Peter and Mohinder are examining barracks in which Peter attempts to stem the tide of Mohinder's self-flagellation over being like his father and fails. I appreciate the effort, though. I also have to point out that the configuration of the two search parties means that Peter and Mohinder are the Shaggy and Scooby, which seems just about right to me. Peter then informs Mohinder about Angela's plan to start a new Company and what a bad idea that is, but Mohinder sees things a little differently -- he suggests that what Angela and the other Company founders went through at Coyote Sands colored everything they did in the future, and maybe Peter would be a better choice to lead them. There was a time when I would have nominated that for Most Hilarious Sentence Of The Year, but it's a testament to the rehabilitation of Peter in this chapter that I actually think Mohinder's on to something here. Mohinder wraps up by saying he has to believe there's hope for redemption, even for Nathan...
