Heroes episode 3.10 "The Eclipse – Part 1"
Airdate: November 24, 2008
The recurring theme explored in this week’s episode was, what really makes a hero? Is it just one’s abilities, or who one is inside? Is it one’s abilities that give one purpose?
The new “Company” heroes new assignments: Nathan and Peter look for the Haitian; Matt and Daphne look for Hiro; and Claire needs to go underground. Pinehearst villains have only one: get Claire Bennet for the formula. Unfortunately, an eclipse is going to change their plans. Powers are soon gone, one by one.
But in the midst of all the chaos, romance is blooming with two couples.
Matt brings Hiro and Ando to Daphne’s home in Lawrence, Kansas to “woo" back Daphne. But as their abilities disappear, Daphne goes back to who she was before her powers – crippled. Meanwhile, Hiro and Ando journey to “where the wise man gather”, at the comic bookstore.

Nathan and Peter fall from the sky into the Haitian jungle when the eclipse begins. Peter tells Nathan how much of a puppet his older brother is. The Haitian appears but his villainous brother is in hot pursuit. Nathan gets capture.
H.R.G teaches Claire to focus her aggression and anger into fighting. Elle and Sylar storm in to get Claire. Elle is about to shoot H.R.G when Claire steps in to block her dad and she gets shot. Without her powers, Claire continues to bleed.
The attraction between Elle and Sylar build up as they help each other, and oooh – a kiss – happens! So even without his powers, Sylar is still able to take what he wants. Unfortunately, someone else is watching the new lovebirds, and I’m guessing whatever happens next will get messy.
But that’s for next week’s episode “The Eclipse” part 2.
