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
Back from the break, Angela talks about how JFK was President and they were all patriots, and when the government found out about them, they told them they could be cured, as if the military wouldn't have pointed them toward Cuba faster than you could say "Bay Of Pigs." Angela goes on that she survived, but almost everyone else died, and thank God for Peter as he asks her to get to the goddamn point already, again. Angela says she's been dreaming that Alice is alive, which doesn't make sense, and if I thought her editorial commentary was genuine, I'd appreciate it, but I think it's more the show trying to throw us off the scent. I mean, despite Angela's claim that her dreams are often confusing and open to interpretation (which is utter bullshit anyway, given how zealously she's believed the literal interpretations in the past) you'd think, without evidence to the contrary, she might at least entertain the idea that her sister is still alive. Peter upbraids her for not telling them about her sooner, and Angela replies that she didn't want them to know her pain, and that "Mothers are allowed to do that. I'm allowed to protect you." Between this preposterous sentiment and the ridiculous idea that Nathan is so gigantically remorseful, I'm surprised it's going to take another three minutes for Peter to fly the hell out of here. Nathan kisses his mother's ass some more, and she goes on that "they" made everyone forget what happened. Yes, apparently out of the ashes of what happened at Coyote Sands, Primatech was formed, and no, that doesn't really make sense either, especially since it doesn't account for the motivations of people like Eric Roberts and George Takei, but she goes on that they did whatever they needed to do to make their existence a secret once more, and it worked, for fifty years, and now they have to do what they did before and put the secret back. "It's time to go back to the old methods." Even if you bought all this, it doesn't provide any kind of plan for dealing with Sylar, but the whole thing makes so little sense that even bringing up that huge problem seems beside the point. Also, without The Haitian, who hasn't been in this chapter at all, I don't know how she plans to execute this gigantic cover-up. Claire can't believe she's talking about erasing people's memories and committing murder again, but Angela says it's a necessary evil. Peter is not having any of this, though, and exits the cabin and flies off, with Nathan in kiss-assy pursuit. Angela watches them go...
