Although it was anti-climactic, it was good. It wasn't as awesome as the series premiere but I wasn't expecting it to be.

Danie Ramirez, who plays Maya this season, was interviewed by the NYMag and was quizzed about her character.

My characters name is Maya Herrera, and I have a twin brother played by Shalim Ortiz. I have a deadly ability, and I have done something horrific, so I am on the run. When you first meet my character, she's on the run from the cops. You find her somewhere in Central America. She is Dominican, though, and eventually you'll find out how she ended up leaving the Dominican Republic and all that. I played a very dark character in season one, a couple episodes in — I'll give you that hint.

Read the rest of her intervew at the source and my "review" on this episode after the jump!

P.S. This contains spoilers, so if you haven't watched, don't click!

Ok, I'm over Claire, she's boring. Her storyline was so prevalent last season there's nothing more for her to do but just stand in the background. The new sibling characters from Latin America are way more interesting.

Claire and her family moved from Texas to California and are now the Butlers, not the Bennets. Claire wants to be a cheerleader, her dad says she has to stay low and not draw any attention to herself. She meets a guy who in class who we find out at the end of the episode has the ability to fly. At first I thought it was Peter and was creeped out by it because ew, he's her uncle. But it wasn't....

Nathan has turned into a hobo with a beard. His wife has left him and it looks like he's no longer in office. His mom is pissed at him for not letting the city blow up and wants him to move on and pick up the pieces. Peter is apparently dead but Nathan feels he's going to be back. Later on in the episode Claire ends up calling Nathan, who is her biological father, but he doesn't want to speak with her....

Mohinder is back in India speaking about the Heroes and wanting to raise awareness about a probable plague that could affect them. He's apparently being followed by a guy from the company HRG (Horned Rimmed Glasses guy aka Noah Bennet aka Claire's dad) used to work for. The guy ends up being a Hero himself who can turn things to gold. He convinces Mohinder to work for his company, because Mohinder needs money to further fund his research. Later on in the episode we find out that Mohinder, HRG and Matt Parkman are all in league together to try to bring down the company....

Matt Parkman has been taking care of Molly (the girl who knows where everybody is) with Mohinder. He just joined the NYPD. Molly is having nightmares about the "boogyman" and can't sleep, so her teacher is worried. Matt, who divorced his wife who was pregnant (I'm totally guessing it wasn't his baby, since she was cheating on him)....

Somewhere in South America, Alejandro and Maya are running away from the police. Apparently Maya has a power which seems to happen when she's upset or scared. She causes death, somewhat like the plageu. I'm guessing her brother is either going to die or not be a huge character this season since Shalim Ortiz (Alejandro) isn't a regular cast member but Dania Ramirez (Maya) is. Hopefully that won't be the case because I love the siter/brother combo....

Hiro ends up, like we saw in the season finale, in 1671 Japan. He ends up meeting up with Takezo Kensei, who not only happens to be white, but isn't the Hero Hiro wanted him to be....

Hiro's dad Kaito and Ando are still in NYC waiting for Hiro to return. When Ando gets Kaito a newspaper a picture of a mark on his face appears within the newspaper. Meanwhile Peter and Nathan's mom Angela recieves the same picture with the same mark on her face, which Kaito later says means they're going to die within 24 hours. Kaito is standing on the roof and sends Ando for the sword to defend himself. Before he could get it, a guy who seems to know already tackles him off of the roof of the building where he appears to be dead....

Somewhere in Ireland, a couple of thugs are trying to steal some Ipods from a storage crate, open it up and surprise, surprise! It's Peter Petrelli!
