Episode: “The Second Coming” (Season 3, Episode 1)
Synopsis: Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) returns from the future to prevent Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) from outing the heroes. Hiro (Masi Oka) finds his destiny and a secret formula he must protect from a speedster nemesis, Daphne (Brea Grant). Claire (Hayden Panettiere) and Sylar (Zachary Quinto) have a meeting of the minds. Matt (Greg Grunberg) finds out about future Peter, who promptly teleports him to an African desert. There, he finds an image of a world split in two. Sylar steals Claire’s powers and reveals that Claire can never die, and now neither can he. Mohinder (Sendhil Ramamurthy) and Maya (Dania Ramirez) make a discovery concerning the origins of superhero abilities, resulting in a serum that can give normal humans superpowers. Mohinder decides to test it on himself and is initially thrilled to see he results. Nathan believes he’s been touched by an angel. (No, Moira Downey doesn’t guest star.) Governor Maldin and Tracy (Ali Larter), possibly Niki’s alter-ego, decide Nathan is the man for the senate position. Mrs. Petrelli (Cristine Rose) confronts future Peter and demands to know what he’s done with her son. Future Peter tells her present Peter is somewhere safe and it turns out he is in Level 5 near H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) and trapped inside a villain’s body.
