Summary

What is it that unites us? The will to evolve past the ordinary? The excitement of a shared experience? Discovering who we want to be? In each of us, the potential to be a hero?

Where does this path lead? To know that, we must go back to the beginning.

A montage of clips from past episodes and events is shown, noting media references and Heroes' success across the world.

Jack Coleman fills in the next segment, and introduces a montage of "everyone's favorite cheerleader", Claire Bennet.

Claire Bennet: "It's not easy being a teen cheerleader for Claire Bennet. Like most teens, she's had her share of bumps and bruises. There is one difference between Claire and the other girls; She heals faster than most. Turns out this brand of unique brand of ability runs in the family. (Mom) (Dad) And Claire has one more trick up her sleeve. Her blood can heal people.

Noah Bennet: "This is Claire's adoptive father. He's a really great dad... when he's not killing people... or kidnapping them... or incarcerating them in creepy inescapable underground cells. There is one more thing you should know about Mr. Bennet. He'll do anything to protect his family.

Hayden Panettiere introduces a sneak peak of Season Three that involves Sylar, Angela, and Bridget Bailey.

After the commercial break, Zachary Quinto welcomes viewers back. He shows a series of clips from the show that have paid tribute to Star Trek.

Zachary Quinto brings the cameras to a quieter area of the party, where Dania Ramirez is. Dania introduces the next segment, which begins with a montage of Mohinder Suresh.

Mohinder Suresh: "Dr. Mohinder Suresh is a brilliant, yet tortured man. Gifted only with superior brain power and the ability to speak his mind like a poet, he's dedicated his life to completing his father's genetic research. There's only one problem with having the answers; It puts you in kind of high demand. For all his intellect, Mohinder does have a few tiny flaws. He struggles with picking the right friends, he's a little too trusting and he sometimes bites off more than he can chew."

Niki Sanders: "And then there's Niki. Niki Sanders is a loving and dedicated mother with an average suburban life and everyday worries. Niki's not always quite herself. She's got a dark side to her personality. Lucky for her, that dark side's a psycho killer named Jessica. She's got Super strength, zero inhibition, and no remorse. Niki doesn't always approve of Jessica. Then there's Micah. The apple of Niki's eye doesn't fall far from the tree. When we last saw Niki, she was in a bit of a pickle. Something tells me we haven't seen the last of her."

Ali Larter takes over and greets the fans in the crowd. She says "Heroes has some of the greatest fans in the world." A montage of clips from fans plays. "In celebration of the new season of Heroes, Myspace had a contest to find the biggest Heroes fans in the world."
