Heroes is back, and it's doing it again! The first season took hold of me and wouldn't let me go, and the second season isn't slouching either! If you weren't fortunate enough to catch the season premiere, here's a short catch-up for you.

"Four Months Later" is the episode's title, and that's when it all goes down. Dr. Mohinder Suresh is currently touring the country spreading warnings and garnering support for research about a deadly new virus that has arisen, and he is met by a man who identifies himself only as "Bob" and claims to work for The Company...and who has an interesting offer for Suresh.

Claire and her family are being towed around the country by her father in an attempt to stay out of sight of the Company, and they finally alight in a new town for a fresh, inconspicuous start. The plan is to keep out of the spotlight and be anonymous, but that gets rather difficult when another classmate with his own secret realizes that there's something different about Claire and begins to take interest.

Molly Parker has been taken in by Suresh and "Officer Matt," but all isn't exactly calm in the household. Molly's been having horrible nightmares about "the man worse than Sylar," and there's plenty of policework going on. Both Kaito Nakamura and Angela Petrelli have received grim death threats, and they suspect they're coming from one of the "elders."

The Petrelli family in general isn't doing too well...Nathan has been thrown into a slump due to Peter being missing and presumed dead after they narrowly avoided blowing up NYC last season. Severely depressed, heavy on the bottle, and in bad need of a shave, Nathan's about the only person convinced that Peter's alive somewhere. Turns out he's right...we find out that Peter's turned up in Ireland handcuffed to the inside of an empty shipping container...and without any idea of his own identity or abilities.

Our pal Hiro is off on his own adventure, in the historic days of Takezo Kensei in 17th century Japan! I'm sure you can imagine the situation, but you'll be as surprised as Hiro is when you find out the truth about Kensei! I'll tell you right now, I did NOT see it coming!

Back in the present, we're introduced to a brother and sister pair of new characters, Maya and Alejandro. Maya has an uncontrolled ability that causes everyone around her to strangle and die whenever she gets stressed or really upset, and Alejandro's the only one who can balance her out and reverse the effects. After her ability apparently killed someone, the two of them are fleeing to America to find Dr. Suresh in hopes of a cure.

So that's that. This season is certainly going to be eventful, at least if the premiere is any good indicator. There's a lot going on, and as you probably hoped it hasn't lost any of its charm and certainly still loves the cliffhanger endings. We're in for one wild ride!
