About

The Butterfly Effect

Angela has a dream in which Hiro, Peter, Noah and Matt appear to have been slain in various ways. In this dream, she sees Knox choking Claire against a wall, then throwing her to the floor and beheading her. After he drags Claire's body away from her head, Knox is joined by Maury Parkman, a woman appearing to be Tracy Strauss, and Adam Monroe. They stand facing Angela, and as they stare at her Sylar appears behind her, placing his hands on her shoulders, at which point she awakes from the dream with a jolt. Angela tells Future Peter that by stopping the press conference he has let Sylar take Claire's ability. A chain of events happens because of this and eventually lets twelve evolved humans from Level 5 escape. Angela has a dream about things to come, in which:

• Hiro is sitting on the floor, impaled by a sword.
  
• Matt is in a chair with a slit throat.
  
• Peter is unconscious and has a deep wound across his entire chest.
  
• Noah is lying dead on the floor.
  
• Claire is decapitated by Knox.
  
• Knox, Adam, a woman that looks like Tracy, and Maury stand together, facing Angela.
  
• Sylar steps up behind Angela, appearing to side with her.

Angels and Monsters

Angela has a dream where she is in her office and hears a woman's scream. She walks down the hall and opens a double door and behind it she sees Tracy with her throat cut, Nathan with a gash in his forehead, and Peter with a pipe through the back of his head and blood all over his hands. Suddenly, Arthur Petrelli appears out of nowhere and says that her ability to see the future is too dangerous, and that he can't have that. Angela insists she'll stop him but he touches his right hand, covered with blood, to her shoulder and tells her that she won't even be able to move.

Exposed

Angela reveals that she has had another dream of something that she whispers to Nathan that only he can hear but causes him not to chase Peter.

Cold Snap

Angela has a dream of a traffic stop and being captured. She wakes up seconds before it happens in reality and the dream allows her to see it coming and escape.

Into Asylum

Angela can't sleep and thus is unable to have any of her prophetic dreams as she wants in order to point her and Peter in the right direction. Ultimatly, after she confesses to Peter, she is able to sleep and has one of her dreams and insantly knows what to do. She tells Peter they need to find and unite with Nathan and Claire and they need to visit her sister, which surprises Peter as he apparently didn't know he had an aunt. She also reveals that her power changed her life: she was going to become a teacher until her ability manifested and she recived dreams of an apocalypse and when no one would listen to her, those dreams caused her to turn to manipulation to save the world.

Friend or Foe

In chapter 4 of Operation Bad Blood, Angela tells the Pinehearst contractor that Red Eye will find Anna again, 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. The Pinehearst contractor sees a photo of Red Eye and Anna rushing towards a dam in chapter 5 of Operation Bad Blood. The contractor must then decide how to save Anna and the thousands of lives in the nearby town.

In chapter 4 of Operation Splinter, Angela asks the Pinehearst contractor whether he keeps a diary. The contractor says no; but later finds and hides Red Eye's diary while searching through his apartment.

The Agent

The introduction for chapter 6 of The Agent confirms that Angela Petrelli was the person discussing several dreams she had involving Rachel Mills in the previous chapter. Also, Jason's death scene is very similar what happens in one of the dreams:

In the dream:

Jason's death:

It hurts more than I ever imagined. I look down. My hands are on my chest, even though I don't remember lowering them. I lift my fingers. The bleeding is starting, slowly. It hurts ... so much. Yet I'm suddenly, vividly aware of the dirt digging into my knees, the cold night air, the fresh smell. I feel so alive. "You did it," I hear myself say. "You really did it." "I told you that I would," I hear a voice say, a woman. I look up at her. I'm trying to say something important to me, but then everything fades at last.

It hurts more than I ever imagined. I look down. My hands are on my chest, even though I don't remember lowering them. I lift my fingers. The bleeding is starting, slowly. "You did it, I hear myself say. "You really did it." "I told you that I would," she says. I look up at her. Her icy expression hasn't changed, but she's crying. I want to tell her what I really think. I need her to know. But I can't remember what it was. Everything goes black...

Notes

• Angela's dream in which many people are killed on Level Five (The Butterfly Effect) was originally filmed to include the deaths of Micah Sanders and Monica Dawson. This version of the scene was included in the special features of the Season Two DVD, but Micah and Monica's deaths were cut when the scene was used in the show.
