So, up until this point, I’m sure 2 questions have been running through viewers’ minds:

1) When the heck is Sylar going to get his body back?

2) What’s Samuel’s deal?

Both of these questions have finally been answered. Maybe it was the hundreds of thousands (am I being too generous?) of protests decrying Heroes’ mediocrity, or maybe the writers finally recovered from a concussion. I don’t know, folks, but thank God.

The latest episode picked up some momentum regarding both Sylar and Claire’s plots. Unfortunately, what started out as a touching plot line between Peter and Emma has started to weigh the show down – a show considerably weighed down already.

I’m always wary about Halloween specials. Costumes always take on some creepy significance, the writers always play with some terrible pun, and they constantly attempt to scare you. Well, color me happy, because this episode was quite simply a treat.

Self-discovery is this week’s theme, and what things we discover!  Sylar’s regained his body, Claire delves into some good ol’ college sexual experimentation, and Peter bonds with Emma (literally and figuratively) over her awesome (yet destructive!) power.
