On April 6, 2009, I watched the latest episode of Heroes to air called "Turn and Face the Stranger" I wondered why the episode was tagged with this title. But upon reflection on the themes explored in the show it's a perfect description of the character's relationships.
1. Matt Parkman came to terms with who he is. He hated Danko for all he had done but chose not to kill him or an innocent woman for revenge. He took a good look at himself, saw someone he didn't recognize and chose to be the man he wanted to be. This is why Matt is a hero.
2. Angela Petrelli has decided to reveal her past to her sons and grand-daughter. We did not get to see this truth that she was hiding in this episode. However will she seem like a stranger to her family when they know everything?
3. Parkman also met his son.
4. Suresh finds some evidence that his father was connected to Angela Petrelli in the late 60's. Hopefully this will be further explored
5. Sylar used his new-found shapeshifting powers to pretend to be Noah's wife and divorce him. Unfortunately she was really there and at one point he could not tell the difference. Both Noah and his wife were facing strangers. Angela warned Noah, but he didn't listen. Now it seems like his marriage really is over.
