Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Like Coyote Sands Through the Hourglass...
By Couch Baron | Season 3 | Episode 22 | Aired on 04.06.2009
Sometime later, Danko is informing "Donner" that he didn't have a lot of options, and directing Bennet to Sylar seemed like the safest choice, because, after all, the other agents are mortal. Sylar gets up out of the massive pool of blood and shifts back to himself before spitting out the bullet into his hand, and...okay, I can buy that Bennet missed the kill spot because of the interference, but since when can Sylar hold back the healing process? Whatever, Sylar says something stupid about it and it makes no sense, and at this point I don't care...
...so let's move on to Bennet, travel bag slung over his shoulder, who's leaving a message for Sandra as he says he's going on the lam and will be unreachable, but he loves her. He moves...
...and Mohinder's studying a map of Coyote Sands...
...as Matt plays with his son in the back seat of the car...
...and Danko leaves a message for Lilith telling her how much she means to him, and how he wants to be better than he is but can't do it without her, but we see her leaving town as well...
...and then we're finally out at Coyote Sands. Angela tells Peter, "This is where our story really begins," which sounds intriguing but you're still only getting three more minutes out of me this week, honey. Nathan and Claire then arrive, and Peter pitches a little hissy about his brother showing up even as he and Claire exchange a fond greeting, but Angela puts paid to any squabbling as she says she never wanted any of them to see what's there, but she realizes now that was a mistake. She dramatically opens the back of her SUV to reveal several shovels, and grandly announces, "You want the answers? Then you'll have to dig." No one asks what happens if they don't want the answers, which frankly I find hard to believe...
...but let's move on to later, as Mohinder babbles about Icarus while the three kids dig at night and Angela "supervises." Nathan is the first to find some buried bones, and after Angela almost collapses, Peter asks if she knew the person to whom they belonged. Angela: "I knew...all of them," prompting them to realize that there are a bunch more bodies in the Heroes' graveyard, and I invite you to make your own joke along the lines of "Alas, poor Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb!" here. Claire sees some headlights approaching, and goes over to their source to find Bennet, who I'm glad made it out there, even if he's not exactly going to get a chance to rest any time soon. We get one more shot of the stygian scene, and that's all she wrote for this week. Three episodes to go!
