A dozen villains with unimaginable power are unleashed after the Company is attacked -- Sylar vs. Elle (Kristen Bell) -- Angela Petrelli (Cristine Rose) takes control and reveals a jaw-dropping secret -- written by creator Tim Kring and directed by executive producer Greg Beeman.

In the shocking second chapter of "Volume 3: Villains," Angela (Cristine Rose) clashes with her much-changed son, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia), over how best to avert a seemingly inevitable worldwide catastrophe.

Meanwhile, Claire (Hayden Panettiere) discovers something new and unexpected about her abilities. Determined to reclaim his family's terrible secret, Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) track Daphne (guest star Brea Grant) to Paris. After a fateful night, Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) is thrilled to find his research, his life and his relationship with Maya (Dania Ramirez) evolving in leaps and bounds. Stuck in unfamiliar territory, Matt (Greg Grunberg) finds a guide (guest star Ntare Mwine) to help him. Ali Larter, Adrian Pasdar and Jack Coleman star.
