More Heroes Spoilers

So the best show on television right now returns from a seven week hiatus with brand new episodes. I have been waiting for this since the last episode aired back in December. All of this was revealed during InStyle's party in honor of Heroes.

Read on if you dare, but don't say I didn't warn you: Here come the spoilers!

Look for more revelations about Claire's heritage, her adoptive father H.R.G.'s ulterior motives and the exact nature of her surprising relationship with Peter. First things first: According to Adrian Pasdar (Nathan), the prevailing theory about Claire and Peter is wrong. He dishes, "No, they are not brother and sister." Hayden Panettiere (Claire) says of her character, "She's on the journey to find her biological parents." Meanwhile, we learn that Daddy Bennet (aka H.R.G.) has had more than a little past involvement with those very biological parents. Jack Coleman (H.R.G.) reveals, "[Claire's mother has] a power that can be dangerous to her. I'll put it this way, her power created the situation in which Claire came to be my daughter." And what about Claire's bio-dad? "The revelation will be very dramatic."

Ali Larter (Niki/Jessica) says that, "When we pick up, my character [Niki] has turned herself in to jail. During that time [in jail] she battles herself to see which side gains control, [but] by the time she gets out one of them has definitely taken control." Co-executive producer Jeph Loeb revealed there's a lot of story tied up in Niki's return to the streets. "The circumstances of how she gets out are part of the surprise of what's to come, and then how that collides with Matt is pretty special."

Loeb continues, "The two collide in the most unexpected way. What's fun is, how does a cop who reads minds deal with someone whose mind is completely out of congtrol? It's a very special group of episodes where the two of them are running around. They are amazing to watch, and they have a battle that is really, really ugly. She kicked the hell out of him. It's the greatest."

Greg Gunberg (Matt) didn't deny the forthcoming smackdown. "Yes, [we have] a huge interaction, a monster interaction. I have huge bruises all over my body from the interaction with Ali's character." Nathan also reunites with Niki. Adrian Pasdar dishes, "There is a big union between the two of us in the future. We come together in a huge way, but it's not what you expect. There is something that bonds us together, and it's shiny, it's fast, and it's deadly."

Ali also talked about her character's involvement with the Nathan, "I don't know much, other than at the end of episode 15, there is a reason as to why we are going to be together again, which I am thrilled about. I absolutely adore working with him, and I think our two characters are great together."

Sendhil Ramamurthy talked about his ever-questing character Mohinder Suresh, "Right now, he is on the search for the people on the list…He has 36 names on the list, and he has the city they live in, but that's about it. Sylar is after all of them, and the main goal is to find these people, warn them, and then try and explain to them that there is something that can be done with their powers." And how goes the mission? Sendhil says, "I get in contact with a lot of people in the first three episodes back." As for the future of his character, Sendhil says Mohinder is changing, and for the better. "You will see ballsier Suresh than you have seen in the first half [of the season]. I think it was a conscious decision among the writers, and I couldn't be happier about it."

Sweet Tawny Cypress says about the beautiful Simone, "You will see my character start to believe, because she hasn't believed for so long—and she will get to play with the guys a little bit more." Santiago Cabrera also talked about his character's art, "There are some great paintings you will see, and [Isaac] starts getting concerned with the paintings he's already painted, like the exploding man. And we see the dream where Peter starts thinking that he is the bomb, so there is a search for that bomb—lots of searching for clues."

Greg Grunberg also says, "[Radioactive] Ted comes back in a huge way, and [the story is] about us working together...he's really ready to explode at any time."
