2.10 “Truth & Consequences”
Claire scatters Noah’s (fake) ashes and vows to reveal her ability to the world if it’ll end The Company. Sylar and Maya finally reach New York, but it’s minus Alejandro, whom Sylar stabbed in the chest. This isn’t catastrophic, though, because Maya learns to control her ability without her brother. Meanwhile, Monica tries to help Micah retrieve D.L.’s medal of honor from a gang (don’t ask), and Hiro time-travels to 1977, where he witnesses Adam’s first attempt to unleash a strain of the Shanti Virus on the general population. Hiro returns to the present to stop Adam from doing the same again, but finds Peter unwilling to let him decapitate Adam.

Bob kidnaps Claire, and Noah and West kidnap Elle. They trade hostages, but it ends with Mohinder putting a bullet in Noah’s eye. Which is as devastating as it sounds, even after we learn that someone injected Noah with a sample of Claire’s blood so he’d regenerate.
