Heroes, angels, monsters, villains. This season, you can simply call them all the Heroes pawns in a game none of us quite understands yet. In one corner, you have The Company with Angela Patrelli, her three sons (Nathan, who's having a theological crisis of sorts; Syler, who's just trying to be good for mommy; and Peter, who's basically the new Syler now that he's taken his brother's power and the hunger that goes along with it), plus Mr. Horn-Rimmed Glasses Noah Bennet and, at least for the moment, his adopted daughter (and Angela's granddaughter) Claire.
In the other corner are those doing the bidding of Angela's husband,
Arthur, who helped found the company with his war buddy Mr. Lindeman.
His powers are such that Matt Parkman's father acts like a lap dog
around him and has created an imaginary Linderman to help guide Nathan
and to use Daphne the Speedster to recruit the rest of the
gang—Mohinder, Matt, Hiro (who commits the most incomprehensible act of
the series in episode 305) and Knox.
The games of chess are too much for one of the released prisoners, a decent fellow with the unfortunately murderous gift of creating vortexes the suck people out of existence. They're too much for Claire too, who wants to help but has no idea what that might mean. To be fair, at this point, neither do I. It's bad guys vs. bad guys with everybody wanting to save the world and constantly invoking the Law of Unintended Consequences. Give me one character who believes that the ends don't justify the means, and I'll give you a moral compass to navigate this mess. That's one superpower that seems to be missing from the current line-up.

As this episode unfolded it was easy to see the foreshadowing that Arthur was behind Pinehearst, the mind version of Linderman and Daphne’s theft of ½ the formula. I didn’t see the Maury part coming though because I thought he was trapped in his own mind still.

And more importantly, I can’t figure out who is the good guy – Angela or Arthur? Or is it a matter of the lesser of two evils? Who do we cheer for? Who are the real villains?

The Claire storyline was pretty boring except for revealing The Puppet Master (Eric Doyle). I have a feeling we are going to see much more of him.
And Mohinder transformation is just getting gross. However, I’m afraid of what he’s going to do to Nathan and Tracy next week.
