Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B- | 919 USERS: B YOU GRADE IT Shouldn't That Be "The Fly Effect?"
By Couch Baron | Season 3 | Episode 2 | Aired on 2008.09.22
It's night in the City of Lights, and Hiro asks if Ando understands the plan. Ando thinks it sounds dangerous. "Does Batman put Robin in danger when he sets a trap for Catwoman?" You guys, Batman and Robin are homosexuals that all but shove their junk in your face while campy music plays. You might want to let the comparison go. [Blasphemy! - Zach] They start bickering again about the damn vision, so thank God for Daphne finally showing up and heatedly asking what they're doing there. Hiro tells her that now he has something of hers, and holds up the medal. She tries to speed-grab it away from him, but he's too quick for her, popping across the room.

Ando's little "Oopsie" shrug is hilarious, but he does kind of deserve to be put in danger for that one. Daphne says she was about to head out to get the other half of the formula, and then Hiro hands the medal to Ando and pushes him forward to make the exchange with this assurance: "This is a trade between two honorable people." Daphne gives a super-fake smile and nod, and then drops the act: "Wrong." I think I'm starting to like her. She speeds forward, and Hiro freezes time, but only succeeds in slowing her to normal, as before. She holds a knife to the now-frozen Ando's neck, and threatens to kill him if Hiro doesn't give up the medal. She pushes the knife into his neck to show she's not kidding, although I guess the bright side is that the blood can't flow while the time freeze is on. But Hiro lets it go, and Daphne's out of there in a flash, leaving Ando to fall back into Hiro's arms. They then have the following discussion:
