heidi | A Morning-After Update

SHOW was good this week! Love the resolution of the Feudal Storyline - it really did come together for me - as well as the way the plot moved on as far as getting Molly out, and moving Matt's powers further on. As far as the final swordfight between Kensei and Hiro, it was so Luke-and-Darth-from-ROTJ, but I like that sort of thing, so it's all good. And yeah of course he didn't die.

Noah is really freaking me out, and I'm still not 100% sure that West isn't a Company Plant but I am leaning towards "omg clueless but disturbed stalker". Much less JD-from-Heathers in this episode.

Not sure how Mohinder doesn't remember Claire from Kirby Plaza but maybe we'll see The Haitian do some major mindwiping in next week's flashback episode?

Clever way to do the breakup between Peter and Caitlin - literally torn apart! And there was naked!wet!peter in this episode, which I know made many happy! I love the way he "recognized" Angela - I'm going to have to go frame-by-frame through that bit! - and the Adam-reveal was almost exactly what I'd hoped. I mean, I haven't made a secret that I've hoped Kensei would be Peter and Nathan's father (although I guess it's still possible he's a bio-dad of some sort) but having him be this Influential Person In Peter's Life is really terrific as well, and I can't wait to see where they go with that.

And hell, maybe Adam is Gabriel's father. Bio-dad or bio+raised-him - either would be fine with me! Or maybe he's Gabriel and Peter's bio-dad and Peter and Nathan are half-brothers. I mean, Angela slept with two of the Originals - maybe she slept with Kensei!Adam, too? Maybe we'll find out next week?

Speaking of Peter, Nathan knows he's alive! SQUEE! And his reactions were wonderful! It's like he has a new mission in life and I can't wait to read the coda-fics on this theme!

I missed Monica to some degree - where is she located at this point? - but didn't miss the twins, although it would've been nice to have some Gabriel.

Mohinder is having so many ethical crisises - I feel like he should be writing to Dear Abby at t his point, or The Ethicist in the NY Times:

I don't know what to do! A few months ago, I tried to kill my love because I learned he killed my father, and then I ended up in a morally gray interdependent, semiprofessional relationship with a guy who had sort of tried to kill me, but when I started to suspect that he cared more about his family than about me, I decided to betray him to someone who wants to kill him. Oh, and for the last four months, I've been living with a recently divorced cop and we're raising a daughter together because she thinks we're her heroes because I saved her with my blood and he saved her from the serial killer who btw is also the guy who killed my father. What do I do now? And is this nose bandage really a good look for me?

In other words, only six days 'til a new episode! Squee!

Also, does anyone have any actual information about the rumor that Kring walked off the show? What's up with that?
