The opening of Game Over jumps between two torture scenes.
Dearing to reveal his nephews location.
Because this is TV, torture works in both instances.
Whats interesting about this opening sequence is how it kind of contradictsHeroes Reborns ethos.
But, lets go with it because the storyis actuallymoving.
Unfortunately for her, Richard and his scientists are actively working against her.
Which means this Miko is a creation that originated in the game.
Obviously, she cant just stand by and watch a fellow evo make a run at end his life.
So, she uses her still undefined, but possibly Storm- and/or Captain Planet-esque powers to save him.
To put it another way, Lukes game ofLifeis far from over.
[Recap readers: Start listening to Purpose fromAvenue Qnow.]
Coincidentally, Malina has a lot of purpose you know, saving the world and isnt supposed to share.
Tommy cant even with having to save the world.
So, in an effort to run away from his problems, he whisks Emily off to Paris.
The City of Love starts out fun, but then the real world ruins everything.
Tommy teleports them onto a boat floating on the Seine.
Its at this point that Emily becomes plot equipment meant to turn this reluctant hero into a willing hero.
With renewed confidence, he teleports her back to her room.
Before leaving to start his heroic journey, Emily kisses him, which leads to them making out.
Aww, they found love inhopeless place.
In California, things arent going too well for Carlos.
Meanwhile, Miko rematerializes inside of Renautas holding facility and runs into Harris, Noah, and Quentin.
Miko re-enters the game but encounters another obstacle, an evil version of herself.
Unable to win, she returns to the real world once again.
Quentin tackles his sister to the ground and tries to reason with her.
Unfortunately, Phoebe has sipped way too much of Erica Kravids mass-murder-flavored Kool-Aid and is too far gone.
She uses her powers to kill her brother.
Noah knocks her out, but hes too late, and Quentin dies.
Back in the real world, Harris and guards corner Noah and open fire, but something happens.
Time freezes, and Noahs able to casually push the bullet aside.
No, its a newly freed Hiro Nakamura.
Noah and Hiro exchange some pleasantries, but then they get down to business.
Noah convinces Hiro to take him back to June 13, 2014, to stop Erica.
