Heroes Preview: Season 3 Episode 21 (3.21) Into Asylum

Posted on March 24, 2009 by Sam

Oh yes, things are certainly heating up on Heroes after last night’s episode. Or should we say, freezing up? The identity of the mysterious Rebel has been revealed (and yes, 90% of all Heroes fans guessed it way ahead of time), Daphne is rescued (sort of), and Angela Petrelli finds herself a fugitive. Here is your full preview of next week’s episode, 3.21, “Into Asylum”, where we find Angela and Peter plotting, Danko gets a (not all that surprising) “partner”, while Claire and real dad Nathan head down south to Mexico.

Official Description:

AS THE GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE ESCALATES, DANKO FINDS HIMSELF A SURPRISING NEW ALLY

Now that Nathan’s (Adrian Pasdar) ability has been revealed and he has lost control of his operation, he and Claire (Hayden Panettiere) go into hiding in Mexico. With Emile Danko (guest star Zeljko Ivanek) now in control of the government operation, his plan to destroy everyone with abilities is set into motion as he teams up with an unlikely partner. Meanwhile, Angela (Cristine Rose) and Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) seek refuge in a church and begin to mend their broken relationship.

Kevin Alejandro also guest stars.

    Is that Hayden’s real hair that’s showing? Have they finally retired the wigs? It looks different.

    I hope we get a BIG showdown between Peter and Sylar at the end of this series that ends with one of them getting taken down permanently.

    • http://www.hrom.de void

      you don’t understand..sylar can not die or taken down permanently. he is like claire…

      • Josh

        Well if sylar had his head chopped off then he can die.

      • EeskeeMO

        Even still, the only way to kill someone with rapid regeneration is to take their power, adam munroe was blown up in a building, and survived, sylar was stabbed in the head and had primatech fall on him..

      • Think Fast

        Matt Jr. If he turns off Sylar’s or Claire’s power, they can die for good.

      • noor

        I thought the same thing the moment i saw Matt Jr. gave Hiro his power. Coz I really wish Sylar to be dead soon. IMO Sylar’s story was only relevant in S1. After that he’s just been a secondary villian to Adam, Arthur etc. with some loose story attached to him. I know he’s loved by many tht’s why they keep him….

      • Oberserver

        Yes, true, Sylar and Claire can regenerate, but do you not remember when Claire’s biological mother was “training her”. If air can’t get too their lungs, via too much smoke or drowning, than they can die.

      • Earthmath

        Well no actually they wont die, at least not permanently, when the fire stops they will come back. My theory is for Normal People to find a way to Chopped him appart into several pieces, then spread the pieces around the world all separated. For Super Humans well tahts easy, there are several ways, one the hatian but it wont stop him for long or Parkman’s baby but we still dont know what are the limits of his power other than he’s a baby and he doesn’t knows how to use them.

      • robcat

        Meredith never said if the air was too thin, Claire would die. She referred to the thin air and “waterboarding” b/c it would FEEL like she were drowning, or suffocating. She was trying to make Claire admit that just b/c she can’t die doesn’t mean she can’t feel trapped.

      • utri

        i think that matt jr. has nothing to do with hiro’s power…emotions can have effect on powers, so the fear may haved kicked in

      • iansane

        Whoa, hey! That’s some good deductive reasoning..
        And on the Heroes message board no less.
        I like the way you think.

      • http://www.hrom.de void

        think! he can survive a nuclear explosion, so clair did and peter in the future episode. sylar has the same ability…their bodies were atomized and you talk about cutting of heads ? *lol
        sylar can be paralized, freezed for a long time, also with drugs maybe..
        ok, we don’t have to forget the haitian…

      • http://thebrain the brain

        all you have to do is chop him into 10 different pieces and bury each part on different continents and Syler would be all gone.

    It had to be micah, he grew up, and i dont think tracy is dead, if u payattention she either cried or moved her eyes after she was broken. She may have reemerged from the ice… What do u think? It was messed up for her to sell out rebel regardless of who it was. I didnt see daphne dieing, i was really suprised! But i knew it was in her head when matt started flying. I was like wtf, precog, mind control, & flying lol. At first i thought baby matt had micahs power, but its better in a way, but if hecan turn off abilities maybe they’ll try to use him as a “cure” … Are hiro an ando supposed to be too dumb to let ando touch the baby and the baby touch hiro, to atleast try to get his full powers back
    or atleast let ando supercharge hiro so they can teleport and travel easier… A little teamwork.

    • stlrfan26

      I was thinking the same thing about Hiro and Ando. Show would be better if Peter got all his powers back. Maybe he touches the baby too….

      • noor

        If Peter’s full of powers on not doing anything smart….still the show leaves u unsatisfied. Now tht Peter’s ability is limited and he’s more kickass…the show’s still not better. I blame fans like u that had a bad influence on the show.

      • Jefferson

        It’s been mentioned on the show more than once that if someone with regenerative powers gets shot in the back of the head, “the sweet spot” then he/she would die. Angela mentions it once and and so does a soldier who holds up a gun to the back of Sylar’s head in the restaurant where Sylar and the kid with extreme heat that comes out of his hands stop for lunch.

      • Earthmath

        Well I have a theory, what if we’re looking at the wrong perspective. I think you need to think who are the only people who can take powers away. Yes, Peter is one of them but what if he can only take one power away at a time. Remember in the first episodes when he met Sylar in claire school he horse played with him and both fell of the roof of the school. Well I think thats when he got his multiple ability taking. Because remember that Sylar can take powers away without killing someone just he likes to do it that way which is even cooler. Then PAPA petrelli took off his powers and well, here you go back from scratch after he got the shot from the Syrum Vurus Injection Shot thingy. Thats why I believe peter can only take one power away at a time until he meets up with Sylar again which he hasn’t done since Fugitives started. Makes sence?

      • Dude

        Dude, Peter can’t take away powers. He absorbs (“borrows”) them. One at a time. He borrows a second ability- he loses the first. The host still keeps his/her original ability. It was the writer’s way of softening him up. With his original power, every ability he encountered he could mimic- to no end. Invulnerability destroys drama. Sylar, however, is the antagonist so having him seem invulnerable creates drama- “How can they ever beat him???” Your idea of Peter borrowing Sylar’s ability is interesting though- especially since we know from Season 2 that Sylar can take abilities without killing…

        …Aaand the Hatian can actually take powers away

    Anyone hear about LAWR the group of four helping rebel the A stands for Anna Korelenko she shuts down the upper functons of the brain, i dont know about the LWR, its in “the agent” series with rachel mills. No M so maybe Molly isnt involved yet, she should be in india with suresh’s parents, matt kind of forgot about her after daphne came in the picture. I mean im sure they’ll come for her sooner or later.

    • Brian

      interesting theory… how about W? Molly Walker? her last name does start with a W

  • ……….

    “the game has changed” Angela who can predict the future, seemed a little worried about getting caught. So, we know that that “the game being changed” has everything to do with Peter considering Nathan looks into the sky straight after she told him “secret”.

    So, the only thing to look foward to is what she knows about Peter and his future. Whereas, for Sylar, his motives are still undetermined. He flips flops more than a politician.

    Matt parkman’s kid is the “cure” and the formula will go ahead with him being the guinea pig. The future has not changed on the larger scale.

    am i right in assuming this?

    I still wanna know what Danko’s beef with specials is.

    • Tyrone

      My thoughts are that the incident Angela referred to in their meeting, was caused by a special. The incident where the town Danko lived in or something was killed by a special, possibly even the company.

    • dcjacobs

      I think Danko is a healer. You’re right about the meeting with Angela. She mentioned something about a mission where “all those people died. And you survived” I think he’s a healer and is ashamed of his gift. That’s why he wants to rid the world of specials.

    AMAZING EPISODE. Brian Fuller really did well in writing that episode. Let’s hope they can follow up with another good episode.

  • thinker

    With Daphne dead now I wonder if anything from the episodes where the future was shown will even happen. This are not lining up anymore. You have Daphne dead and Knox dead so the whole scene with Sylar Peter and Sylar’s son Noah cant happen. And now the only viable thing that can happen is Ando killing Hiro but even that can be questioned. Now I am interested in Matt’s painting of DC blowing up. Will that still happen?

    • EMoney013

      The future that they showed earlier in the season was only a POSSIBLE future. Just because they showed it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s going to happen. Prime examples: NYC blowing up in season one and the Shanti virus spreading in season 2.
