Now that psychic cop Matt has basically adopted mutant kid Molly, we’ve been getting some seriously twisted family drama on NBC’s superhero show Heroes. Last night’s episode was no exception.
Molly has finally recovered from her coma, which was caused when Matt guilted her into using her powers of finding to locate his mind-destroying dad. Now daddy-issues boy is using his newfound powers of mind-control to make Molly obey him and eat her cereal. In fact daddy issues were the theme of last night’s episode. Claire screamed at her father, HRG, that she hates him for abducting her boyfriend, and then HRG tortured Elle, the electrogirl, while explaining that her father Bob is evil. Dude. And then Hiro went back in time to visit his dead dad, took his dead dad to his dead mom’s funeral, and had a tearful goodbye. Actually it was a pretty good episode, but we could have done without all the daddy stuff.
