"Evolution
is an imperfect and often violent process. A battle between
what exists and what is yet to be born. In the midst of
these birth pains, morality loses its meaning. The question

or perish."

Summary:
TWO HEROES TOGETHER ARE STRONGER THAN TWO HEROES APART;
LEONARD ROBERTS ("BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER")
JOINS THE CAST AS D.L. HAWKINS, A FUGITIVE THAT POLICE
CAN'T HOLD -- Hiro (Masi Oka) and his buddy embark on
their heroic journey to New York, when they are stopped
by a Vegas high-roller who offers them a deal they can't
refuse. As H.R.G (guest star Jack Coleman) sets up a meeting
for his daughter Claire (Hayden Panettiere) with her biological
parents, she hopes that questions about her newfound indestructibility
can be answered. Meanwhile, Isaac (Santiago Cabrera) receives
another confusing call from Hiro, but Peter (Milo Ventimiglia)
is there this time to pick up the phone and relay a life-saving
message. Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) bids farewell to
Eden (guest star Nora Zehetner) as he heads back to India
to bury his father. An unexpected visitor shows up at
