Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Apocalypzzzzzzz
By Couch Baron | Season 3 | Episode 17 | Aired on 02.23.2009
...and then we're back in the hotel room, and Bennet is in obvious distress, so Mohinder pulls Matt away to break the mental link. Matt goes to jot down the address (he's getting his money's worth with the hotel stationery) as Bennet tries to warn him that going after Danko will get them killed. Peter grabs a gun, pauses for a moment at Bennet's warnings, but then heads out the door and flies away with a whoosh...
...just before several vehicles pull into the parking lot and commandos come spilling out. The place looks too small to host a Marines fundraiser, so I'm guessing Matt and Mohinder are in trouble.
Danko's on the phone with the team in Costa Verde as he enters his apartment and gets his surveillance monitors up and running. However, he suddenly senses someone behind him, and when he turns, he finds Peter with a gun trained on him: "You really should lock your windows." Well, honestly. At Building 26, that same tech with speaking lines calls Nathan over to show him what's going on at Chez Danko, and once Nathan sees it, he takes off. Hope he's not still being watched!
Back at the apartment, Danko puts down the phone and holds his hands out. He asks Peter if he wants him dead, and then steps forward and puts his head right up against the gun. Peter, surprised, asks if he wants to die, and he says no, "but you came here with a mission, right? So get it over with." Even the man's survival instinct can't overcome his propensity to give orders. He says if Peter thinks he's a good guy, he's mistaken, as he broke into his house and put a gun to his head, even though it would be a lot more accurate to say the head was put to the gun, and Peter basically agrees with me, saying Danko's the one who's hunting him and his kind. Danko tells him if he kills him, everyone will see how dangerous Heroes are, and Nathan sees that as his cue to enter: "He's right, you know." It's no fun saying those words if you don't use Ozmodiar's voice. Danko focuses in on how fast Nathan got there, and I'm glad he's paying attention, but if he's that smart, wouldn't he wonder about Nathan, given that Nathan's mother, father, brother and daughter ALL have abilities? Nathan doesn't answer Danko, instead stepping toward Peter and trying to say this isn't him. Peter shows what he thinks of Nathan's words by shooting Danko in the arm, so Nathan gets louder, saying if he kills Danko, an order will "come down" (not sure from whom) to kill them all, and he won't be able to stop it. Peter yells at Nathan to shut up, and I'm sure at this point Danko seconds that. Danko, through his pain, says that Peter can't trust either of them, but Nathan tells Peter that Matt and Mohinder are going to be captured, and pulling the trigger will be signing their death warrants. Danko looks like he can't believe Nathan told Peter that, but in fairness, he did just call him untrustworthy. Anyway, Peter obviously can't afford to take the chance, and with a hateful look Danko's way, runs out the window and flies away, although they save money on the effect by having Ventimiglia fling himself offscreen and adding in another whoosh. I'd complain, but Peter's not done flying in this episode yet. Danko asks Nathan why he blabbed to Peter, so Nathan blusters that he just saved Danko's life, and Danko doesn't bother responding, instead calling his team and yelling for them to take the targets NOW...
