To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Which they shouldn't have to since, you know, time has passed within the show. And kids grow.

That they do. And even with the ultra-compressed time they've been working with (I always forget these volumes are all really just a few weeks at most) it's not unheard of for a kid to shoot up that much pretty fast.

Back to Tracy: I have to admit, I thought she was a marked woman from the moment they revealed there was another Nikki!Sister. No sense in dropping a gun like that if you don't plan to fire it. Lord knows they're not getting rid of Ali Larter anytime soon.

Lord knows they're not getting rid of Ali Larter anytime soon.

Hey, she's died twice.

ETA: Crap, now that song's in my head.

She's totally going to be like all those posthumously-discovered George Hamilton video messages on Jenny McCarthy's sitcom, isn't she?

Boy, that was a better episode. Except for the two (possibly) dead women. And what was the point of bringing back Daphne at all? Or setting up the whole thing where she and Matt had some kind of mystical future?

On the other hand, now Mohinder is there to comfort him.

The Hero, Ando, and Baby Genesis scenes were AWESOME.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I never really liked Daphne, but this was a less ignominious end for her.

Ando's hot.

Hiro in a Snugli was pretty damn hilarious.

Sadly, I suspect we'll be enduring at least one cringe-inducing diaper changing scene in the near future.

This. I liked her, and her storyline kinda sucked and now seems to have had little purpose. Maybe Baby Genesis can touch and go her back to life.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So I was 4 episodes behind on Heroes. Finally caught up today.

Agree with the whole Daphne's Dead! No she's alive! Whoops, she's dead! thing was thoroughly pointless.

Saw the wink from Tracy, and totally think they're going to pull an Iceman with her, like Victor said.

Hiro and Ando with the baby was hilarious, especially the bit with the wheelbarrow.

Not so thrilled about baby being retconned back to being Parkman's (the baby being the other guy's was cited as the reason for their divorce. And even if Matt's wife was lying about the father to get out of their relationship, why would she turn around and name the kid after him?)

I was right about someone with a supercharging power giving Hiro his powers back, just expected it to be Ando. I guess the question now is, does he only have them when baby Parkman touches him?

Art Crawl!!!

The question I have is - did Baby Touch and Go not freeze with everyone else because Hiro was holding him? Or is that part of Matt, Jr.'s power?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Because Hiro was touching him.
