Upcoming Heroes Season 3 Spoilers for Tracy, Hiro, and Elle

By Sam | September 30, 2008 (10:39 am)

Here’s the latest batch of upcoming Heroes SPOILERS from Kristin over at E! Online, who gives us a quick preview of little tidbits that are coming the way of our Heroes in future episodes. Actually, you can look forward to a couple of these spoilers in next week’s episode, “I am Become Death”, if the official plot descriptions released for the episodes so far are any indication. In particular the first one, which has Hiro and Ando consulting with … well, you know the drill. Do not read on if you do not want to know.

Via Kristin over at E! Online:

* Hiro and Ando (James Kyson Lee) look up an old frenemy. Actually, they dig him up, right out of his 400-year-old grave. Sarkie-poo, oh, how I have missed you!

* Dr. Zimmerman has answers to Tracy Strauss’ questions about her mysterious origins, and we’ll learn of a fifth version of the woman who looks just like Ali Larter. (Wait a minute, were their parents named John and Kate?!) So just to make the math clear, here: We’ve met Niki Saunders, her two alternate personalities Jessica and Gina, and now Tracy Strauss, but we’ll learn there is another person running around with the same pretty face. Seriously, Haley Mills never had it so bad.

* In the future Sylar is not only living with his son Noah in the Bennet house, but he has Mr. Muggles. Will the violations never end? Actually, we’ll see that Sylar has become a new man. As Zachary Quinto told me when I visited the set during the production of episode four, “I believe that there may be some waffle-making in this episode. This is an alternative sort of reality—you catch glimpses of times that may or may not actually come to fruition, but that are possibilities.” Let me say it now: Not really gonna happen.

The first one we already know — Hiro and Ando breaks Adam Monroe out of his coffin prison to do a little consulting, but finds him less than helpful.

Dr. Zimmerman, meanwhile, seems to have dropped a major bombshell at the end of this week’s episode — namely that he “created” Niki Sanders, Tracy Strauss, and who knows how many else. Does this mean Niki, Tracy, et al are … CLONES???? But hey, if you had to clone someone, why not Ali Larter?

Also, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ali Larter makes it clear that while her other character, Niki Sanders, balked at her power, Tracy Strauss, after an initial shock, won’t be quite as freaked out. In fact, she may be embracing her ability to freeze things and people, thus confirming her reputation as the ice queen. And yes, EW does misspell Niki’s name.

Can you hint at what’s to come for Tracy?

The interesting about her is, instead of being stricken by this ability [to freeze things] that she has, she becomes kind of in awe of it. And kind of excited by it and fascinated by it at the same time. She’s pulled out of her world and has to find different ways to figure out her life and figure out why these things were happening to her. So she’s kind of on this journey of understanding who she is.

How does that differ from Nicki’s journey?

I think Nicki hated it. She was afraid of hurting people. It put her in jeopardy of losing her child. She wasn’t able to control it, whereas Tracy is a completely different being in that way. She doesn’t get stricken with fear. She would find ways to use it or manipulate the situation.

Finally, Sylar as Mister Mom in the future. Yeah, that’s gonna be pretty fun stuff there, but like “Five Years Gone”, it’ll probably never happen. Or at least, not the way we’re going to see it in next week’s “I am Become Death”, which despite the title, kind of feels like a goofy episode.

Kristin also had this on another page (here) concerning Elle, our electric bad girl who may be feeling a little dinged up lately:

Mike in Mesa, Ariz.: Will Kristen Bell be in any of the future Heroes episodes, or did her arc complete with the season-three premiere?

Kristen Bell will be definitely back, and when she returns, we see that Elle has quite literally be on the fritz—her power keeps overloading and blowing out of control—and she’ll turn to Claire for help.

This may be a little ways off, because I haven’t read any would-be encounters between Claire and Elle yet in the official descriptions released so far.
