NBC Blurb

Heroes band together in an attempt to put a stop to Arthur Petrelli - George Takei, Kristen Bell, Brea Grant, Seth Green, Breckin Meyer, Jamie Hector and Blake Shields guest star.

Hoping to find a way to stop Arthur (guest star Robert Forster), Hiro (Masi Oka) and Claire (Hayden Panettiere) band together and travel back in time 16 years to when Kaito (guest star George Takei) gave baby Claire to H.R.G. (Jack Coleman). Meanwhile, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) and the Haitian (guest star Jimmy Jean-Louis) team up to finish off Arthur Petrelli for good but are interrupted by Sylar (Zachary Quinto). Elsewhere, in the lab, Mohinder (Sendhil Ramamurthy) has a major breakthrough with the formula that will likely change everything. Ali Larter, Cristine Rose, Greg Grunberg, Adrian Pasdar and James Kyson Lee also star. Jessalyn Gilsig, Ashley Crow, Tamlyn Tomita and Chad Faust also guest star.

• Kimiko's ability will be revealed when Hiro meets Ishi.
• Hiro will get his memory back by going to see Linderman. After being healed, Hiro remembers what he needs to do to save the world, and tells Linderman about the future and Arthur.
• Hiro will go back from the past with his memory and he will meet Peter on the train and tell him to " save the cheerleader, save the world", because something happens to Claire in the past and he needs to make sure she is protected in the future.
• The title will show the parallels between the important fathers in this episode (Arthur, Noah, Kaito, Nathan) and the mothers (Angela, Sandra, Ishi, Meredith)
• Arthur will take Nathan's power away and then Nathan will kill him in retaliation and become the new 'Big Bad'. Nathan will then use the synthetically powered marines to hunt down the other heroes because he lost his powers.
