Honest to God, that’s really the title of a Monkees song. Swear to God.

First off, I’ve never mentioned this before, but I really dig the way they put the title of each episode onscreen…and I think this week might well the most comic-book-esque way they’ve done it, putting it across the sand and having it vanish with the tide. Anyway, the title washes away as the episode begins with Mohinder bidding his father adieu, but I’m sure no-one believes he’s gonna stay in India, even if he does have a hot woman chick giving him the eye and trying to hook him up with a new job. Mohinder’s flashback dreams…flashbacks to events he never actually experienced, mind you…certainly hint that he’s a part of the hero clique as well. So he’s got a sister? Now that’s a total comic book development. I love it.

So Isaac’s falling under Eden’s spell, just like Mohinder did. Damn that pretty face of hers! Do we really believe that she has a power as well…? Yeah, actually, that’s about the only thing she’s said that you probably can trust. Claire’s dad actually appears to have a heart; I don’t for a second believe that he doesn’t have more of a motive than we’re seeing, but I do believe he really does want to save his adopted daughter. But to spend all episode getting Isaac cleaned up and off heroin, then put him back on the H just to get him to paint the missing picture…? That’s cold, man.

Greg Grunberg officially earns the right to not be referred to as AliasBoy anymore. His performance during Ted’s interrogation was awesome, and his reactions over the past few episodes to the revelations about his wife have been consistently believable. If anyone from this show gets nominated for an Emmy for their acting, Grunberg is one who deserves it most.

And lastly…dammit, I really liked Charlie the waitress; she was cute as a button…and the scenes between her and Hiro were about as sweet as sweet gets, making them the polar opposite of the dark and shadowy shots of Sylar sitting in the restaurant. I should’ve known that would mean she wouldn’t get out of the episode alive…but I didn’t. I was totally blindsided by it. There was never any doubt in my mind, however, that Hiro would try to go back in time to save her…but given that he didn’t return when he was supposed to, one wonders: is this the trip that leads to his eventual soul-patch-and-samurai-sword look…? Either way, that last shot of Charlie and Hiro in a photo that hadn’t existed a few minutes clearly shows the trip didn’t go entirely as planned.
