In Ireland, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) attempts to move beyond the past, but discovers that a mysterious woman -- Elle (Kristen Bell) -- is willing to kill to find him. Matt (Greg Grunberg) and an unexpected ally fly to Philadelphia to hunt down the nightmare man, following his terrible attack on Molly (guest star Adair Tishler), but the pair finds themselves outmatched. Monica (Dana Davis) tries to come to terms with her new abilities and her role as a local hero. Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) meets his new partner and gets a disturbing assignment. H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) takes a step to further protect his family. Meanwhile, as Hiro (Masi Oka) continues to fix the past in feudal Japan, Ando (James Kyson Lee) attempts to piece together historically whats happened to his best friend.

Thanks for the thread Sam!

I cannot wait. And it's going to be so tempting for me to stay up late tonight to read peoples reactions, so I'm going to force myself to go to bed early so I won't

Can you believe it's only been 2 months since the announcement was made? It seems like it's been forever. But it's finally here!!

Since the show hasn't aired I won't mention anything about the ep tonight HOWEVER i was reading an article and I have a feeling Elle and Claire are more connected then we thought .... I will say how after the ep tonight

Not enough of her!

Loved the last scene, wonder who her "daddy" is.

Can't believe we have to wait another 2 weeks.

**the echo fades** · 10-23-2007, 07:02 AM

Definately not enough! We'd pretty much seen it all in the promos and preview clip

She was great in what she did have though, and her zapping that guy was just.. hot. Loved the scene with her running the electricity along the sides of the crates too.

The phone call was awesome.: I'm very curious about who her dad is going to turn out to be. And I just love the fact that one minute she's killing a guy, and the next minute she's apologizing to her "daddy" and promising she won't do it again

The investigative scenes were a bit VMish to me and it was hard to see that she is someone else in Heroes. That worked itself a bit out later though. But I loved the last scene ("big deal!") and the useless killing. What can I say, I used to love Evil!willow, Evil!Xander, evil!Prue etc

And I agree. Too little KB!

and that's why i love her last scene. i really felt the offness to her character. mentally, she seems really.. childlike in a way with the "daddy" and when she was pleading not to be taken off the case.
i love that KB got promos and stuff but now i really wished they didn't hyped it up so much because Elle didn't really have much to do this week and her scenes came off a little disappointing esp when they made it seem like she was actually going to meet peter. whenever Heroes hype something up, it never comes out that good like the box. that was just anticlimatic and Peter didn't even really seem to care about the stuff he found. granted it wasn't much but still..

^Elle^ · 10-23-2007, 08:17 PM

it was great to finally see her! agree there wasnt nearly enough of her though

**Periwinkles** · 10-24-2007, 11:06 AM

I thought her debut was really good. I was expecting more screen time, but it was a nice introduction. It's hard to judge on the few minutes we've seen her, but she seems slightly insane (in a good way though).

My initial thought was that her 'daddy' was Bob, but then I thought to myself that it may be too obvious for the world of Heroes.

This episode was amazing great start to Elle she is a really interesting character. To actually see her power was great and she has one of the coolest powers

I don't think she will give up on finding Peter just because she was told to go back home. I wonder who her father is probably someone in the company.

Definately! Insanity is fun

it'll be so cool finding out more about her character and why she is the way she is.

I hope not, because it's kinda lame if that's the only involvement she has with his storyline

I was looking forward to a Peter/Elle showdown! Well, or not, actually, because he'd probably kick her butt

**~Phoenix~** · 10-24-2007, 12:35 PM

Yea i hope it doesn't just end there for Elle/Peter storyline. I don't know if I'd want an Elle and Peter showdown as he has all these powers he would prob kick her butt
