[[Image:Powers Peter stops Angela.jpg|thumb|left|[[Peter]] [[Telekinesis|stops]] Angela in her tracks.]]
Angela confronts [[Peter Petrelli (exposed future)|her son]] at the hospital where [[Nathan]] is staying. She reveals her [[Precognitive dreaming|ability]] and demands that he brings her son back. Following the death of [[Bob Bishop]], Angela receives control of [[Primatech]] and as her first act, fires [[Elle Bishop]] for releasing [[Level 5 escapees|12 dangerous individuals]]. Angela then tricks [[Sylar]] into believing that she is his mother and wins his trust by feeding him [[Bridget Bailey]]. After [[Noah Bennet]] returns to the Company, Angela assigns him as Sylar's new partner and has them hunt down the villains.


Angela continues to lie to Sylar, and soon finds Peter attacking him within his cell. Peter [[Enhanced strength|snaps Sylar's neck]] and attacks Angela, attempting to [[Telekinesis|slice open her skull]]. Sylar saves her and Angela has Peter drugged and soon meets with Nathan and [[Tracy Strauss]]. Angela reveals that The Company gave [[Niki]], Tracy, [[Barbara]], Nathan and many other people their abilities via a synthetic injection.

Arthur then causes Angela to go into a coma.
===[[The Second Coming]]===
In an argument with [[Peter Petrelli (exposed future)|Future Peter]], Angela states that he absorbed his first ability from her, the ability to [[precognitive dreams|dream the future]].


Via a spirit walk, [[Hiro]] learns that Angela attempted to kill Arthur after he used his [[Telepathy|telepathic powers]] to manipulate her mind and make her agree with the plan to murder Nathan. Angela also somehow enters Sylar's dreams and manages to wake him up from his induced coma. [[Matt Parkman]] uses his powers to enter Angela's comatose mind and battles Arthur to free her. Finally Angela is able to use Matt and Daphne's love for each other to remind Arthur of their own love and he lets her go allowing Matt to bring her out of her coma. Once Angela awakens, she is rejoined with [[Claire]], Peter, Nathan, Matt and [[Daphne]]. Angela takes Claire to Noah and prepares the Company for war with Pinehearst. Before Angela, Noah, [[Meredith]] and Claire can leave for Pinehearst, Sylar arrives and locks them inside Primatech. Sylar manages to capture Angela and interrogates her on the fact that she is not his birth mother. As Angela confesses her true knowledge of Sylar's parents, Claire shows up and kills him.
===[[The Butterfly Effect]]===
[[Image:Angela Shaw.jpg|thumb|right|Angela, as she was in [[1961 (year)|1961]]]]
With the death of [[Bob Bishop]], the chain of command leaves Angela in complete power and authority of [[the Company]]'s actions. Her first action as "The Boss" is to relinquish [[Elle]] of any further duty (she fires Elle). After continuing to tell [[Peter Petrelli (exposed future)|Future Peter]] he must return her [[Peter|son]] and go back where he came from, Angela goes and speaks to [[Sylar]] who is now in a [[Level 5]] holding cell.


After the destruction of both Primatech and Pinehearst, Angela and [[Carlos (guard)|one of her employees]] abduct [[Rachel Mills]] and interrogate her to learn the location of the last vial of [[The formula]]. After locating it, Angela returns to New York and spends a few months looking at colleges with Claire. Angela is contacted by Nathan, who tells her to keep Claire away from Peter and Matt. After the crash of [[Flight 195]], Nathan calls Angela again and recounts exactly what happened. Angela refuses to help Nathan. Through the memories of Noah, it is revealed that Angela shut down the Company in order to rebuild her family. In present time, Noah and Angela meet and discuss plans to stop the hunt for [[evolved humans]] from the inside.
In the cell Angela tells Sylar that she can provide him with the love and guidance a mother should provide for her son. Sylar gets angry, stating that she is NOT his mother. She replies "But I am dear, I am..."


Nathan suspects Angela of being [[Rebel]] but she denies the claims. She soon receives a visit from [[Emile Danko]] and is questioned about Nathan's possible [[powers]]. After Danko takes over the operation, Angela becomes a target of the government. Using her dreams, Angela avoids capture and receives help from [[Millie|one of her friends]]. Peter rescues Angela and takes her to the church where she was married. Angela reveals details about her past, including the manifestation of her dreams and existence of [[Alice Shaw|a sister]]. Angela has Peter take her to the [[Coyote Sands]], a location which she also gets Nathan, Claire and Noah to travel to. Once everyone is gathered, Angela has everyone start to dig up the shallow graves of the former prisoners.
=== [[One of Us, One of Them]] ===
Angela is with [[Sylar]] in his cell and tells him that her sons have failed her, and that she is his mother, and that she will love him and guide him. She unstraps him and introduces him to [[Bridget Bailey]], who she says is there to "feed" him. She leaves the two in the room alone and walks away to the sound of Bridget's screams.


Angela recounts her time at Coyote Sands, arriving there with her family at the age of 16. She remembers how close she was to her sister and her first meeting with [[Charles Deveaux]], [[Linderman]] and Bob. She tells her family what happened at the camp and reveals that she escaped with her friends and when she returned, everything was gone, including her family. A vicious storm arises, caused by [[weather control|Alice's power]], and Angela is taken to her sister’s bunker. Angela reveals to Alice that she lied to her and Alice leaves her, refusing to rejoin Angela’s family. Angela, Peter, Nathan, Noah and Claire go to the diner and all agree to form a new company.
Later, on [[Level 5]] she speaks with [[Noah]], who has come back with the intentions of recapturing the escapees, and intoduces him to his new partner, Sylar. She explains her belief that Sylar has been misunderstood and needs structure, and wants Noah to provide that for him. Later, the three see a bank robbery on the news, and Angela tells them it is the pair's first assignment.


After learning that Sylar has [[Shape shifting|taken Nathan's appearance]], Angela, Noah and Claire attempt to drive to [[Washington]]. Noah has the ladies get out of the car as he suspects a government ambush to be coming. Angela and Claire arrive at Washington and the two part ways. Angela makes her way to a bus stop where she meets with Matt. She reveals that she had a dream that Nathan was in danger but that Matt would save him, and eventually convinces Matt to follow her. After finding Nathan's dead body at the [[Stanton Hotel]], a distraught and grieving Angela has Matt use his powers to force Sylar to think he is Nathan, effectively "recreating" her son and "killing" Sylar.
When Noah and Sylar return with [[Flint]], Sylar comments to Angela that she was wrong about him, because he succumbed to his killer instinct and took [[Jesse]]'s [[Sound manipulation|power]]. She tells him that they should just wait and see what happens.


Five weeks later, Angela visits the new "Nathan" in [[Nathan's Senate office|his office]]. She expresses her worry for him, a worry which is furthered when Sylar/Nathan ignores her and unwittingly uses his [[intuitive aptitude|ability]] to fix a clock.
=== [[I Am Become Death]] ===
With [[Hiro]] and [[Ando]] being held captive in a Level 2 cell, Angela sits them down in her office to let Hiro know how much [[Kaito|his father]] thought Hiro was going to be a great man. Now, due to his loss of his half of the [[formula]], Angela informs them that they are being manipulated by something more powerful, and that Hiro has the key to unlocking the whole mystery.


===[[Angels and Monsters]]===
===[[Season Four]]===
{{season summary|season=Four}}
Angela finds a newly arrived [[Peter]] in [[Sylar]]'s cell and races in as Peter [[Enhanced strength|breaks]] Sylar's neck. Angela tries to stop the [[Intuitive aptitude|crazed]] Peter, who [[telekinesis|telekinetically]] binds Angela, asking her if she ever planned to tell him that Sylar was his brother. When she doesn't reply, Peter begins to cut open her head to find the answers himself. He is stopped by Sylar, who has [[rapid cell regeneration|healed]] himself. When [[Tracy]] and [[Nathan]] arrive to find a chemically subdued Peter, Nathan is enraged at his mother. In her office, Angela tells them of the experimentation done on Tracy, [[Niki]], and [[Barbara]] as infants which [[Genetic modification formula|gave them]] their [[abilities]]. She then reveals that [[the Company]] also gave Nathan [[flight|his ability]], because [[Arthur]] was disappointed that Nathan was born without the ability-granting genetic marker. Later, as Angela dozes, she apparently awakes to the sound of a scream. She finds Tracy and Nathan dead and a bloodied Peter standing over them. Peter collapses to reveal a pipe stuck in the back of his head. Angela turns at the sound of [[Arthur]]'s voice and comes face-to-face with him. He explains that she is too dangerous to keep around as she can [[precognitive dreaming|see the future]]. When she says that she will stop him, he replies that she won't even be able to move. Angela awakes to find that it was one of [[Angela's dreams|her dreams]] and that she cannot move.
After reading about several [[Tracy's victims|mysterious drownings]] and making the connection to [[Tracy Strauss]], Angela calls [[Noah]] and demands that he kill Tracy before she gets to him or [[Nathan]]. Noah reminds Angela that "Nathan" is actually [[Sylar]], and says that he can barely look him in the eye knowing who he really is. "Nathan" tells her that he hasn't been feeling like himself, so Angela calls [[Matt]] and pleads with him to "patch" "Nathan"
up so that he starts feeling more like the real Nathan again. Matt refuses, telling her that he also regrets turning Sylar into "Nathan", and that "Nathan" is her problem now. Later, Angela visits [[Peter]] in [[Peter Petrelli's apartment|his apartment]], but is too worried about "Nathan" to focus on what he has to say.


When "Nathan" returns from the [[carnival]], Angela sends [[René]] to [[Mental manipulation|wipe]] "Nathan"'s and Peter's memories, but René finds that he cannot do it. René tells Peter that Angela is blinded by her emotions, and that she had crossed a line that should never be crossed. On Thanksgiving, Angela is confronted by Peter and "Nathan", both of whom demand to know the truth about "Nathan". Angela eventually gives in and tells them that she had Matt [[Telepathy|transfer]] Nathan's mind into Sylar's [[shapeshift]]ed body so that she wouldn't have to come to terms with Nathan's death. At this revelation, Sylar takes back control of his body and [[telekinetically]] forces Angela and Peter to sit and eat next to him. When Sylar grows bored of mocking them, and tries to kill Angela, Nathan's mind takes back control of Sylar's body and [[Flight|flies away]] in it. Angela and Peter share their grief over Nathan's death and pay their respects at [[Nathan's funeral|his funeral]].
===[[Dying of the Light]]===
Angela remains in a paralyzed state following her [[precognitive dreaming|dream-encounter]] with [[Arthur]]. [[Sylar]] releases [[Peter]] from his drug-induced coma in an attempt to wake Angela. Peter attempts to [[telepathy|read her mind]] to figure out what happened to her, and she gives him the image of the [[Pinehearst]] [[Symbol|logo]].


Later, When Angela sees Peter with [[Emma]], she freezes and warns him that Emma will kill thousands of people. Not believing that Emma could do such a thing, Peter [[Ability replication|replicates]] Angela's [[Precognitive dreaming|ability]] to dream it for himself. After dreaming that Emma is saved by Sylar, Peter tells his mother what he dreamed. Angela warns him that just because he dreamed that Sylar will save Emma, that doesn't mean that Sylar has changed. She also insists that he be careful, since she can't bear to lose another son.
===[[Eris Quod Sum]]===
Angela remains paralyzed following her [[precognitive dreaming|dream-encounter]] with Arthur. She appears in the sleeping [[Sylar]]'s dreams, and tells him that he is more powerful than he realizes. She asks him to rescue Peter and make her proud. When Sylar confronts Arthur, he claims that Angela had a [[Precognitive_dreaming|precognitive dream]] of Sylar so frightening that she tried to drown him, and Arthur stopped her.


===[[Villains]]===
===[[Heroes Reborn]]===
''For an episode-by-episode summary, see '''[[Angela Petrelli/Heroes Reborn|Angela Petrelli: Heroes Reborn History]]'''.''
In [[Hiro]]'s precognitive trance, Angela appears to be a dutiful wife to [[Arthur]] and seemingly agrees to all his plans. However, when she hears Arthur and [[Linderman]] talking about an assassination attempt on [[Nathan]], she runs to the kitchen to grab a knife. Before she can do anything, Arthur uses his ability [[telepathy|to control her mind]]. Later, when Arthur is away, Linderman -- sympathetic towards Angela -- restores her memory with his [[healing|power]]. With her mind restored, she enlists [[the Haitian]] to help her take down Arthur. She poisons his [[lentil soup|soup]] and is preparing to get rid of his body when Nathan discovers him.

===[[It's Coming]]===
[[Matt]] and Daphne arrive at [[Primatech]] to find Angela in a state of paralysis. Matt gets feedback after surface [[telepathy|probing]] Angela, [[Daphne]] says she'll look for a nurse but goes to warn [[Arthur]]. Daphne returns to Matt as he tries to get inside Angela's head. Matt admits he’s only done it once with his dad and asks Daphne to stay there and watch him while he disappears into Angela’s head. Inside their heads, Angela is seen cuffed to a chair at the end of an empty Pinehearst hallway. She warns Matt that he shouldn't be there and that Arthur is too powerful. Matt struggles with the cuffs and tries at the locked doors. Arthur then appears as [[telepathy|Daphne]] and stabs Matt in the stomach. In the real world, Daphne watches Matt groan and bleed from his stomach wound. Calling to Matt, he takes her in the dream with him and [[Angela]]. As the real Daphne explains her motives and her feelings for Matt, Angela takes the chance and asks if Arthur remembers when they were just like that. The hallway then becomes Angela's office, as Angela tells Arthur to let her go. Her bonds break and Matt comes and takes them both back to reality. As Nathan arrives after Claire and Peter, Angela informs them that Arthur now has both parts of the [[formula]] but is missing a third piece, a catalyst, and it’s hidden away in the blood of a human host. She tells them that both Peter and she have [[Precognitive dreaming|dreamed]] the future, and promises it is not one any of them will want to face.

===[[The Eclipse, Part 1]]===
Angela is at [[Primatech]] with [[Claire]], and tells her where [[Nathan]] and [[Matt]] are going on their separate assignments. She informs Claire that her mission is to avoid being captured by [[Arthur]] because of the catalyst in her blood. Claire objects, but Angela overrides her and takes her into [[Level 5]] where [[Noah]] is waiting to take his daughter to safety.

Later, Angela walks in on [[Tracy]] as she is having a conversation with [[Arthur]] via cell phone. Tracy hastily covers up the nature of her call. It's not clear how much Angela overheard but she is aware of Tracy's opposition from her [[Angela's dreams#The Butterfly Effect|precognitive dream]] (''[[The Butterfly Effect]]'').

===[[The Eclipse, Part 2]]===
[[Noah]] tells [[Sylar]] that [[Angela]] and [[Arthur]] only pretended to be his parents to manipulate him into joining their respective sides.

===[[Our Father]]===
Angela meets with [[Peter]] and the [[Haitian]]. She gives a gun to Peter and tells him that he can kill [[Arthur]] by shooting him in the back of the head. When Peter balks, Angela explains that Arthur would do the same to him, and tried to have Nathan killed. It was that which drove her to poison him.

Later, Sylar [[Lie detection|establishes that Arthur lied]] about being his father, strongly indicating that Angela isn't his mother.

===[[Graphic Novel:Truths]]===
Angela asks [[Arthur]] how the hunting trip went. Arthur tells Angela that the trip went how he it expected it to go. He then goes on to say that the [[ability]] is in the [[Peter|wrong son]] and that perhaps they are being punished by God. Angela tells him that they are better than God and if he thinks the wrong son got the ability, then he should use [[the formula]] on [[Nathan]]. Arthur is a wary of using the formula on their son, but Angela reassures him by saying that it is no different than getting a vaccination and that Nathan's body should be able to handle it. In the end, Arthur decides to take the chance, especially since it would be a chance "to salvage one". Angela responds by saying that she will call [[Dr. Zimmerman]] in the morning.

===[[Dual]]===
At Primatech, [[Noah]], [[Angela]], [[Claire]] and [[Meredith]] arm themselves against [[Sylar]]. Later in a study in Primatech, Angela tells Claire that she’s giving Sylar the attention he’s been starved for. The phone rings and Sylar tells her that Claire can walk out with Noah and Meredith if Claire shoots Angela dead. Sylar transmits an image of Noah and Meredith to Claire in the study. Angela warns that Sylar wants them to go down there. As they make their way down the hallway, Sylar abducts Angela.

Sylar confronts Angela in the study and she says that she was right about him, that he's a hero for killing Arthur and saving the world. He disagrees but she says she dreamed about it and there's no one left to take advantage of him. Sylar says that she is the one taking advantage of him, and asks if she's his mother. He says he can [[Lie detection|tell if she’s lying]] and she admits she's not his mother. He admits that for a moment he wishes she were, and asks why she did it. She says her sons have been a disappointment and she wanted to give her love to him, but he knows this is a lie. She then explains she wanted him to work for the Company and saw him as a killer and a monster that could be manipulated. She admits she's a monster too. He [[Telekinesis|telekinetically]] starts choking her, and demands that she tell him something that makes him believe that not everyone is a monster like him. Angela says she knows who his real parents are, and he recognizes this as the truth. She warns that if he kills her, he'll never find out, but he starts choking hers. Claire comes up behind him and stabs him in the brain with a piece of glass. Claire, Noah, and Angela watch Primatech burn.

===[[Webisode:The Recruit, Part 1]]===
In a Primatech facility in [[Tappen, NJ]], Angela interrogates [[Rachel Mills]] about what happened to the [[genetic modification formula|serum]] that was at Pinehearst. When Rachel claims not to know, Angela says she doesn't believe her and explains that the serum was not part of the program that recruited her and is a dangerous inferior formula. Angela says she is sorry about Rachel's injury and that she does not know just how much worse things will be if she does not get back that serum. She then places both hands on Rachel's head, and while again asking where it is, Rachel begins reliving what happened twelve hours ago at Pinehearst.

===[[Webisode:The Recruit, Part 3]]===
Still in the unknown Tappen facility, Angela tells [[Rachel]] that she wants to help her, but only if she stops lying to her. When Rachel insists she is telling the truth, Angela asks Rachel why she killed [[David Sullivan|David]] if she promised to help him escape the Pinehearst lab. Rachel tells Angela that she didn't have any choice but to kill David, and Angela says she understands but will not let her go until she tells Angela where the rest of the serum is. Rachel then tells Angela that seeing what it did, she destroyed it. Angela replies that Rachel gave the wrong answer and leaves the room.

===[[Webisode:The Recruit, Part 4]]===
Angela continues to question [[Rachel]], now mentioning Rachel's mother, [[Leona]]. Angela tells Rachel that there is so much she can do for this world, as long as she embraces [[Teleportation|her power]]. Despite having a flashback that confirms she has a power, Rachel tells Angela that she is not [[special (theme)|special]]. Angela walks away, telling Rachel that she doesn't believe her.

===[[Webisode:The Recruit, Part 5]]===
Angela re-enters the room where [[Rachel Mills|Rachel]] is being held, and gives [[Carlos]] a messaging device, saying that a man is on board and that they will continue as planned. Carlos and Angela then approach Rachel, who is still tied down to a chair next to a conference table. Angela tells Rachel that she underestimated her and is letting her go; and Carlos removes her IV, saying that the effects should wear off in a few hours. Angela then commends Rachel for being a fighter like her, but Rachel replies that she's nothing like her and just wants to leave. Angela says that there's a car waiting for her outside.

Later, Angela confronts Rachel after she has retrieved the vial of [[serum]] from its hiding place. She asks for the serum and Rachel gives it to her. After Rachel asks what else they want, Angela says that they want to help her, and Carlos takes Rachel away. Angela then calls [[Leona]], Rachel's mother, saying that "it's been a long time".

===[[A Clear and Present Danger]]===
Angela encourages [[Claire]] to look at college brochures, telling her that it is vital she continue her education. Claire later overhears her talking on the phone, and picking up the extension, hears Angela and [[Nathan]] discussing Claire's concerns and suggesting that she be kept at the [[Petrelli mansion]] while [[Matt]] and [[Peter]] are "taken down". When Angela realizes Claire is listening in, she tells Nathan they may have a bigger problem.

===[[Trust and Blood]]===
In [[Building 26]], [[Nathan]] recounts the crash of [[Flight 195]] and subsequent events to an unseen individual on the telephone, who turns out to be Angela. Nathan expresses concern about [[The Hunter]], fearing that he might not be able to control him. Angela is reading a file on [[Danko]] and certain events that took place in Angola, and says she has the problem well in hand.

===[[Cold Wars]]===
Five weeks ago... [[Noah]] and [[Angela]] are discussing the [[Company]] and Noah argues that even without Primatech, the company should still be operational, she disagrees and hands him a letter and a watch for all of his "years of service". She tells him she is tired of it and tells him that now he can be a true father and husband, but he tells her that the company is all he's ever known and Angela tells him he has what he fought for and he is to return to [[Claire]].

After Noah and [[Danko]] are finished speaking, Noah sits down on a park bench and starts talking to Angela Petrelli about how he is going to show his loyalty to them and the hard decisions that he will have to make. Noah tells her that he's always been fine with morally gray.

===[[Episode:Exposed|Exposed]]===
Angela meets [[Nathan]] in a car after [[Peter]] escapes. When Nathan asks, she denies that she is helping Peter. Nathan explains that someone called "[[Rebel]]" is working against him; this person knows about his plans and about [[Building 26]], all information that Angela possesses. She states that firstly, she knows nothing about computers (although Nathan says that she could easily hire someone who does), and secondly, she knows Nathan is keeping her safe and would never betray him. Nathan points out that although he himself does not want to hurt Peter, there are [[Danko|other people]] who want everyone with abilities dead. Angela ironically says that she has some [[The Company|experience]] of this kind of situation. Nathan gets a call from Peter and Angela listens as Peter threatens to go public with the [[Flight 195's security footage|video footage]] he copied.

Later, Angela tries to comfort [[Peter]] after Nathan helps him to escape from [[Danko's team]]. The brothers argue about Nathan's plans, with Angela telling Nathan that there may be another way, but Peter [[ability replication|replicates]] Nathan's [[flight|ability]] and flies away. Nathan wants to go after Peter, but Angela stops him, saying that "the game has changed" and that she has [[Precognitive dreaming|seen]] it. She whispers something in Nathan's ear, and he looks surprised.

===[[Episode:Shades of Gray|Shades of Gray]]===
Angela receives a call from [[Noah]] in her limo, telling her that [[Nathan]] has made a power play against [[Danko]], and that he is concerned that Nathan is moving too fast and will play his hand too soon. Angela, clutching a pair of argyle socks, tells him that she has the situation under control.

Danko meets Angela in a high-class New York restaurant, where she is eating oysters. Danko asks if Nathan has an [[ability]], and Angela tells him it sometimes [[ability heredity|skips a generation]]. Angela tells Danko that she knows about the incident in [[Angola]], and wonders how he survived when so many civilians died. Danko admires her resourcefulness, and then leaves.

===[[Graphic Novel:Hanging By a Thread]]===
[[Rachel Mills]] recounts how [[Angela]] pressured her to embrace [[teleportation|her ability]], as well as Angela letting her go after seeing Rachel use her ability to escape Angela's grasp.

===[[Cold Snap]]===
[[Noah Bennet]] meets Angela in her limo in [[New York|NYC]] in the pouring rain. Angela tells him they shouldn't talk anymore because it's too dangerous to be seen with her, and notices that Noah is clearly distracted. She says that family is a horrible price to pay for what they're trying to do, and notes the irony of alienating her sons to save them. Noah says he's sure [[Nathan]] will forgive her, but Angela says she knows [[Peter]] won't. She points out that Bennet needs to make [[Danko]] trust him and suggests turning in one of [[evolved humans|them]]. Noah asks how she knows that he hasn't turned her in, but Angela says [[Rebel]] would impress Danko more. Noah comments that Angela may need Rebel's services soon, but Angela says she will find a way to survive and will leave the city that night. She gives Noah her umbrella, and in return, he warns her not to go [[Petrelli mansion|home]].

Stuck in traffic, Angela asks the [[Limo driver|driver]] why they've stopped. Before he can answer, someone reaches in and grabs him and then they reach for her. Angela wakes up with a start; it was just a [[precognitive dreaming|dream]]. She tells the driver not to stop, but he is grabbed from outside. Angela slips out of the car while agents subdue the driver. She links arms with a [[John Epstein|stranger]] and asks to share his umbrella, managing to evade capture.

She meets her friend [[Millie]] at a restaurant. Millie comments on Angela's dishevelled appearance, and she answers that she has had a bad day. Millie tells Angela that she herself was detained and questioned about the company she keeps or kept. Angela says she needs a favor, even though she and Millie haven't spoken for a while. Millie says they all noticed Angela wasn't the same after [[Arthur]]'s [[Arthur's funeral|death]], and asks what Angela will do now. Angela explains that she's trying to help her sons, and asks for a change of clothes, a car, or some money so she can disappear. Millie recommends that Angela turn herself in, and Angela gets up to leave, but on reflection, Millie gives her all the cash from her wallet. Angela thanks her and on her way out steals Millie's umbrella.

Angela is walking down the street when she notices Danko's men closing in; she turns only to find more agents behind her. She enters a nearby building, hops into an elevator just in time and heads up to the roof. The agents open up the control panel and bring the elevator back down. Angela hears a bang on top of the elevator and looks up and smiles. As the doors open on the ground floor, Danko's men see Angela and [[Peter]] inside. Peter [[flight|flies]] the two of them through the emergency hatch in the ceiling to safety. Later, Angela and Peter stand looking out from the crown of the Statue of Liberty, and Peter asks her what she wants to do now.

===[[Into Asylum]]===
Angela has [[Peter]] fly her to [[Father Vance's church|the church]] where she married Arthur. When Peter says he saved her in order to get answers, she says she's looking for some as well. In the church, Angela sits in a pew and when Peter asks if she wants forgiveness from God, Angela says she doubts even he would forgive her. What she wants to do is sleep and use her [[precognitive dreaming|power]] to find out what they need to do, but she is unable to sleep. Peter asks her about using pills, but Angela explains that her power only works if she is in a natural sleep. She reminisces about their family's past and says that she never gave Peter the support he needed. Peter gives her a coat that she donated to the church to replace her wet one and she sits in the pew and prays. Some of [[Danko's team|Danko's men]] show up and she and Peter hide in a confessional. Angela takes the opportunity to tell Peter about her past, saying that she wanted to be a teacher and help people, but when her power manifested, she dreamt of a terrible future. She tried to convince people of what she saw, but nobody believed her, so she used lies, manipulation, and betrayal in an attempt to change the future. She and Peter are found by [[Noah Bennet]], but he covers for them and the agents leave the church. Angela finds she is then able to sleep on Peter's shoulder, and wakes to say that a dream showed her what to do: the two of them need to find [[Nathan]] and [[Claire]], and then find [[Angela's sister]]. This shocks Peter as she apparently never told him she had a sister. The two leave the church and fly off together.

===[[Episode:Turn and Face the Strange|Turn and Face the Strange]]===
Angela calls [[Noah]] from a street pay phone to tell him that she has [[Precognitive dreaming|had a dream]], and asks if he knows about what happened at a place called "[[Coyote Sands]]". Noah implies that whatever happened there was kept a secret for over 20 years, and that the [[Company]] believed it should never be discussed. Angela says that she and [[Peter]] are heading there, intending to meet up with [[Nathan]] and [[Claire]], and that she needs Noah to join them, because "it's time that everyone knew the truth."

Angela and Peter arrive at Coyote Sands and Peter asks why they have come here. Angela tells him that this is where the story begins. As Nathan and Claire [[Flight|land]], Peter storms off in a rage. Claire goes after him while Nathan asks Angela what they are doing here. Angela says that she never wanted him or Peter to know about this place, but that she now realizes that this was a mistake. Angela then hands him a shovel, telling him in order to prepare for the future, they must unearth the past. Later that night, after digging several holes, Nathan discovers a skeleton in a shallow grave. Angela almost collapses at the sight and is comforted by Claire. Peter asks if she knew whoever is in the grave. Angela replies that she knew "all of them" and tells them to keep digging.

===[[Graphic Novel:Scenic Route]]===
[[Noah]] receives a video message from Angela on his phone. Angela instructs him to meet them at [[Coyote Sands]], saying that they need him there.

==[[Evolved Human]] [[Precognitive dreaming|Abilities]]==
==[[Heroes Evolutions]]==
Angela has the [[ability]] to see the future while dreaming. She also seems able to appear in other people's dreams, as she used this aspect of her power to wake Sylar and get him save Peter, even while she was trapped in her own mind (''[[Eris Quod Sum]]'').
===[[Operation Bad Blood]]===
In [[Operation Bad Blood#Chapter 204|chapter 4 of Operation Bad Blood]], Angela introduces herself to the Pinehearst contracted player, who is being kept in a bare cell in a [[Field Operations Center 06|Primatech detention center]]. She then offers the player a deal that she will release the player and [[Anna]] if the player can find out what Anna knows. Later, after the player does so, Angela re-enters the cell with an Asian man, having overheard the conversation. Angela leads the player to her limo and has the driver take them to the player's car.


In order to use this ability, Angela's sleep must come naturally without the aid of drugs or other forces. (''[[Into Asylum]]'') She also claims that her dreams always come true and can't be changed, though this may be a mistake as Peter has been able to change the outcome of his dreams. While in a dream-state, people with [[telepathy]] are able to enter the dreams and interact with her as seen with Arthur.
On the way, Angela promises that Anna will be set free, but that [[Ricardo Silva]], a.k.a. Red Eye, will find her once more. Angela adds that the player shouldn't think about that right now, and that the player will be faced soon with a decision for which thousands of lives will rest on the player's answer. She adds that the lives will include people they both know as well as strangers. Angela then forces the player to leave the limo and the car leaves so she can go meet someone she needs to see soon.


Angela states that her dreams always come true, (''[[1961]]'', ''[[June 13th, Part One]]'') and believes that they are fated to happen. (''[[June 13th, Part One]]'') However, some events of her dreams can be changed as shown with her having a dream of the slaughter of several of evos by the [[Level 5 escapees]] that was averted (''[[The Butterfly Effect]]'') and her worry that [[Erica Kravid]] would kill the evos from her dream about [[the H.E.L.E.]] which showed them saving the world. (''[[June 13th, Part One]]'')
===[[Operation Splinter]]===
In [[Operation Splinter#Chapter 104|chapter 4 of Operation Splinter]], Angela stands in the observation room of a [[Field Operations Center 06|Primatech interrogation facility]]. She listens as the Primatech contracted player and [[Jeremy Woo]] debate [[Anna]]'s interrogation, then greets Jeremy when he notices her. Angela also asks for the player contractor's thoughts on the interrogation. She then notes she thinks it is repulsive, but orders Jeremy to allow it to continue. When the player goes to leave, Angela asks if the player keeps a diary. When the player says no, she says she sees and turns away.


Angela's dreams do not always show the full picture as seen with her believing [[Emma Coolidge]] was going to murder thousands of innocent people due to one of her dreams, (''[[Close to You]]'') when in reality she was being forced to do so by [[Eric Doyle]]. (''[[Brave New World (Heroes)|Brave New World]]'') In her dream of the H.E.L.E., she foresaw [[Noah Bennet|a third faceless figure]] helping to save the world, but had no idea of who it was or what the figure's purpose was until years later. (''[[Project Reborn]]'')
===[[The Agent chapter summaries|The Agent]]===

Angela Petrelli (née Shaw) is the last surviving founding member of the Company who, following the death of Bob Bishop, went on to become the head of the organization. Angela sold the Company to Erica Kravid to aid in Erica's plan to save the world, but later learned that she wanted to doom it instead. After dreaming of Tommy and Malina's destiny to save the world, Angela asked Hiro to take her with the infants to 1999 so that she could watch over them and protect them from Renautas. Angela is the mother of Peter and Nathan, the grandmother of the late Claire and the great-grandmother of Tommy and Malina. She is an evolved human with the ability to see the future in her dreams.

About

Angela has kept the majority of her past and personal life a secret, but makes it clear that her family means everything to her, and as such suffered greatly following Arthur's "suicide", and aids her children, and grandchildren, in their respective quests to save the world. In certain episodes, however, a more darker and cold-blooded side of Angela's personality was revealed to exist, though generally she is working for the greater good.

Character History

Season One

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Angela Petrelli: Season One History.

Angela is taken in by the NYPD for shoplifting socks. In doing this, she worries her son Nathan, while Peter, her younger son, sees it as a cry for attention. The next day, she sees Peter in the hospital and confesses to him that his father died of suicide, telling him she is worried he may be developing the same condition. She tells Peter that he always was her favorite son. Later, she expresses concern for Peter when Nathan claims his jump was a suicide attempt.

Angela reveals to Claire she is her grandmother.

A few days later, Angela plans a family brunch with Heidi to help Nathan's campaign. The brunch is interrupted by Peter who suggests that he is not good enough to attend, but eventually saves Nathan in the interview with Oliver Dennison.

During the next two weeks she spends her time worried about a comatose Peter, fearing he may die of a heart attack. When Peter awakens and leaves in a rage, she is upset that Peter would keep her worried for these two weeks and just leave. Within the next few days, she persuades Nathan not to meet his long-lost daughter and bribe Meredith to end the situation.

When Claire comes to New York City to find Peter, she is instead greeted by Angela. She reveals she is Claire's grandmother. She explains to Claire about her biological parents and the fire, urging Claire to come with her to Paris, but then Mohinder arrives with Peter's dead body. When Peter is revived, she tells Peter she has long known about his abilities. Later on, she claims to also know about Linderman's plans. When Peter dreams of his mother talking to the late Charles, she states she thinks Nathan will be who people turn to after the explosion. Angela tries to get Claire out of the city, saying the bomb is inevitable; however, Claire disagrees and flees from Angela.

Season Two

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Angela Petrelli: Season Two History.

Angela receives a death threat.

Angela regularly visits Nathan at his hospital room while he recovers from the effects of Peter's explosion. When Nathan later blames her for Peter's presumed death, she finds a death threat targeting her. She meets with Kaito Nakamura at Charles Deveaux's rooftop to discuss the threats. After Kaito is murdered by a hooded killer, Angela is interrogated by Matt Parkman, but she recognizes his interrogation techniques. She is attacked in the interrogation room when the lights mysteriously go out, and in her hospital room she falsely confesses to murdering Kaito.

While in jail, Angela is interrogated again by Matt Parkman, who manages to make her reveal information about Victoria Pratt. After her "early release" from jail, she is confronted by Matt and Nathan about Adam Monroe. She explains how the group of twelve came together, and why Adam is killing the Company's founders, while also secretly commanding Matt to kill Peter if he causes any problems. After Nathan is shot moments before revealing the truth about the Company, we see Angela talking on the phone saying it had to be done, but that Pandora's Box has been opened.

Season Three

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Angela Petrelli: Season Three History.

Peter stops Angela in her tracks.

Angela confronts her son at the hospital where Nathan is staying. She reveals her ability and demands that he brings her son back. Following the death of Bob Bishop, Angela receives control of Primatech and as her first act, fires Elle Bishop for releasing 12 dangerous individuals. Angela then tricks Sylar into believing that she is his mother and wins his trust by feeding him Bridget Bailey. After Noah Bennet returns to the Company, Angela assigns him as Sylar's new partner and has them hunt down the villains.

Angela continues to lie to Sylar, and soon finds Peter attacking him within his cell. Peter snaps Sylar's neck and attacks Angela, attempting to slice open her skull. Sylar saves her and Angela has Peter drugged and soon meets with Nathan and Tracy Strauss. Angela reveals that The Company gave Niki, Tracy, Barbara, Nathan and many other people their abilities via a synthetic injection. Angela has another dream, during which she witnesses the deaths of Tracy, Nathan and Peter at the hands of her thought to be dead husband. Arthur then causes Angela to go into a coma.

Via a spirit walk, Hiro learns that Angela attempted to kill Arthur after he used his telepathic powers to manipulate her mind and make her agree with the plan to murder Nathan. Angela also somehow enters Sylar's dreams and manages to wake him up from his induced coma. Matt Parkman uses his powers to enter Angela's comatose mind and battles Arthur to free her. Finally Angela is able to use Matt and Daphne's love for each other to remind Arthur of their own love and he lets her go allowing Matt to bring her out of her coma. Once Angela awakens, she is rejoined with Claire, Peter, Nathan, Matt and Daphne. Angela takes Claire to Noah and prepares the Company for war with Pinehearst. Before Angela, Noah, Meredith and Claire can leave for Pinehearst, Sylar arrives and locks them inside Primatech. Sylar manages to capture Angela and interrogates her on the fact that she is not his birth mother. As Angela confesses her true knowledge of Sylar's parents, Claire shows up and kills him.

Angela, as she was in 1961

After the destruction of both Primatech and Pinehearst, Angela and one of her employees abduct Rachel Mills and interrogate her to learn the location of the last vial of The formula. After locating it, Angela returns to New York and spends a few months looking at colleges with Claire. Angela is contacted by Nathan, who tells her to keep Claire away from Peter and Matt. After the crash of Flight 195, Nathan calls Angela again and recounts exactly what happened. Angela refuses to help Nathan. Through the memories of Noah, it is revealed that Angela shut down the Company in order to rebuild her family. In present time, Noah and Angela meet and discuss plans to stop the hunt for evolved humans from the inside.

Nathan suspects Angela of being Rebel but she denies the claims. She soon receives a visit from Emile Danko and is questioned about Nathan's possible powers. After Danko takes over the operation, Angela becomes a target of the government. Using her dreams, Angela avoids capture and receives help from one of her friends. Peter rescues Angela and takes her to the church where she was married. Angela reveals details about her past, including the manifestation of her dreams and existence of a sister. Angela has Peter take her to the Coyote Sands, a location which she also gets Nathan, Claire and Noah to travel to. Once everyone is gathered, Angela has everyone start to dig up the shallow graves of the former prisoners.

Angela recounts her time at Coyote Sands, arriving there with her family at the age of 16. She remembers how close she was to her sister and her first meeting with Charles Deveaux, Linderman and Bob. She tells her family what happened at the camp and reveals that she escaped with her friends and when she returned, everything was gone, including her family. A vicious storm arises, caused by Alice's power, and Angela is taken to her sister’s bunker. Angela reveals to Alice that she lied to her and Alice leaves her, refusing to rejoin Angela’s family. Angela, Peter, Nathan, Noah and Claire go to the diner and all agree to form a new company.

After learning that Sylar has taken Nathan's appearance, Angela, Noah and Claire attempt to drive to Washington. Noah has the ladies get out of the car as he suspects a government ambush to be coming. Angela and Claire arrive at Washington and the two part ways. Angela makes her way to a bus stop where she meets with Matt. She reveals that she had a dream that Nathan was in danger but that Matt would save him, and eventually convinces Matt to follow her. After finding Nathan's dead body at the Stanton Hotel, a distraught and grieving Angela has Matt use his powers to force Sylar to think he is Nathan, effectively "recreating" her son and "killing" Sylar.

Five weeks later, Angela visits the new "Nathan" in his office. She expresses her worry for him, a worry which is furthered when Sylar/Nathan ignores her and unwittingly uses his ability to fix a clock.

Season Four

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Angela Petrelli: Season Four History.

After reading about several mysterious drownings and making the connection to Tracy Strauss, Angela calls Noah and demands that he kill Tracy before she gets to him or Nathan. Noah reminds Angela that "Nathan" is actually Sylar, and says that he can barely look him in the eye knowing who he really is. "Nathan" tells her that he hasn't been feeling like himself, so Angela calls Matt and pleads with him to "patch" "Nathan" up so that he starts feeling more like the real Nathan again. Matt refuses, telling her that he also regrets turning Sylar into "Nathan", and that "Nathan" is her problem now. Later, Angela visits Peter in his apartment, but is too worried about "Nathan" to focus on what he has to say.

When "Nathan" returns from the carnival, Angela sends René to wipe "Nathan"'s and Peter's memories, but René finds that he cannot do it. René tells Peter that Angela is blinded by her emotions, and that she had crossed a line that should never be crossed. On Thanksgiving, Angela is confronted by Peter and "Nathan", both of whom demand to know the truth about "Nathan". Angela eventually gives in and tells them that she had Matt transfer Nathan's mind into Sylar's shapeshifted body so that she wouldn't have to come to terms with Nathan's death. At this revelation, Sylar takes back control of his body and telekinetically forces Angela and Peter to sit and eat next to him. When Sylar grows bored of mocking them, and tries to kill Angela, Nathan's mind takes back control of Sylar's body and flies away in it. Angela and Peter share their grief over Nathan's death and pay their respects at his funeral.

Later, When Angela sees Peter with Emma, she freezes and warns him that Emma will kill thousands of people. Not believing that Emma could do such a thing, Peter replicates Angela's ability to dream it for himself. After dreaming that Emma is saved by Sylar, Peter tells his mother what he dreamed. Angela warns him that just because he dreamed that Sylar will save Emma, that doesn't mean that Sylar has changed. She also insists that he be careful, since she can't bear to lose another son.

Evolved Human Abilities

Angela has the ability to see the future while dreaming. She also seems able to appear in other people's dreams, as she used this aspect of her power to wake Sylar and get him save Peter, even while she was trapped in her own mind (Eris Quod Sum).

In order to use this ability, Angela's sleep must come naturally without the aid of drugs or other forces. (Into Asylum) She also claims that her dreams always come true and can't be changed, though this may be a mistake as Peter has been able to change the outcome of his dreams. While in a dream-state, people with telepathy are able to enter the dreams and interact with her as seen with Arthur.

Angela states that her dreams always come true, (1961, June 13th, Part One) and believes that they are fated to happen. (June 13th, Part One) However, some events of her dreams can be changed as shown with her having a dream of the slaughter of several of evos by the Level 5 escapees that was averted (The Butterfly Effect) and her worry that Erica Kravid would kill the evos from her dream about the H.E.L.E. which showed them saving the world. (June 13th, Part One)

Angela's dreams do not always show the full picture as seen with her believing Emma Coolidge was going to murder thousands of innocent people due to one of her dreams, (Close to You) when in reality she was being forced to do so by Eric Doyle. (Brave New World) In her dream of the H.E.L.E., she foresaw a third faceless figure helping to save the world, but had no idea of who it was or what the figure's purpose was until years later. (Project Reborn)

Notes

  • Angela speaks French: «Au moins maintenant elle sera en sécurité. Mais pas grâce à vous!», which means : "At least now she's going to be safe, no thanks to you!" (Parasite)
  • In Cautionary Tales, Angela showed great resistance to Matt's telepathic abilities. This could be the result of undergoing the same mental strain before.
  • A deleted scene on the Season 2 DVD shows several dead characters (including Hiro, Peter, and Matt), then shows an individual chopping Claire's head off. Several other individuals approach Angela as Sylar stands behind her. The end of the clip reveals that the entire scene is Angela's dream. The scene was later repeated in The Butterfly Effect, excluding any shots of Micah and Monica.
  • She is the last living Company founder.
  • Angela claims not to be good with computers.
  • Angela describes to Peter how after gaining her abilities, she tried to convince people about the terrible things she saw in her dreams, but nobody believed her. In Greek mythology, the character Cassandra [1] is similarly blessed with the gift of prophecy and was also cursed with people not believing her visions.

Trivia

  • Angela Petrelli's character was named for Angela Lansbury. In the commentary for How to Stop an Exploding Man, Tim Kring said he wanted to name Angela's character in honor of "Mrs. Iselin" from The Manchurian Candidate. However, Tim couldn't remember the character's name (Eleanor), so he named Mrs. Petrelli after the actress who portrayed "Mrs. Iselin"--Angela Lansbury.
    • Eleanor Iselin was renamed Eleanor Shaw in the 2004 remake of The Manchurian Candidate. Coincidentally, Angela's maiden name is also Shaw.
  • In the script for the unaired pilot, Angela was named "Alice Cambell", a 76-year-old woman.
  • Angela was the first character to appear in an episode, a graphic novel, a webisode, and an iStory chapter. Her first episodic appearance was in Genesis, her first graphic novel appearance was in War Buddies, Part 5, her first webisode appearance was in Going Postal, Part 3 and her first iStory appearance is in chapter 104 of Operation Splinter.
  • In Genesis, Angela Petrelli is arrested for stealing a pair of socks. The reason for this is only explained after an interval of 56 episodes, in 1961, when Angela tells her sister Alice Shaw "whenever I feel lost... whenever I don't know what to do... I steal socks for you. To remind myself there are simple ways to protect the ones we love." For a time, this was the plot mystery that took the longest to be resolved in Heroes.
