Damn Canadians - they get to see Heroes a day earlier than we do. However, some are nice enough to share what they’ve learned with the rest of us who have to wait till tonight. I’d like to thank Ford Prefect over at Heroes the Series for doing just that two weeks in a row.

So if you’re ready, keep reading because the major revelations are posted below:

• Nathan has been working with the FBI since his wife’s accident - Peter learns this.
• Mohinder is not as clueless as we thought - he knows Zane is really Sylar and tricks him into drinking tea which sedates him.
• The new hero, Candice Wilmer is a shapeshifter of some sort (although I believe she just makes people think she’s someone else) and is an “uber-bitch” (to quote Ford Prefect).
• Claire’s new identity is Vivian. She tells The Haitian that Peter is the only one she can trust and ditches him at the airport.
• Mohinder has Sylar sedated and tortures Sylar until he confesses to killing his father.
• Simone is DEAD (in case anyone still needed clarification on that), Candice uses her power to make Isaac think she’s Simone.
• Nathan helps Hiro get past security at the casino.
• Niki is able to escape the mirror much like Jessica was and has been leaving clues to DL.
• Mohinder tries to shoot Sylar but Sylar stopped the bullets and the IV - apparently turning the tables back on Mohinder.
• Ando comes back (YEA!) and rescues Hiro while he’s stealing the sword.
• Linderman was on to the the FBI’s plan and has Jessica kill them.
• Niki manages to take control long enough to warn Nathan about Linderman knowing.
• Hiro and Ando try to teleport out of the casino but end up five years in the future on top of the Deveaux building - the bomb has apparently not been stopped and everrything is all post-apocalyptic looking. Hiro is upset he didn’t prevent it.
• Bennet talks to his wife but in reality it’s Candice using her power on him. Apparently Thompson is on to the farce about Claire and The Haitian.
• The “higher-power” that The Haitian reports to is (as a lot of people guessed) Angela Petrelli (Nate and Pete’s crazy mother). She’s waiting for Claire at Peter’s apartment when she arrives. Apparently she knew all about Claire and has been trying to protect her.
• Linderman knows about all of the heroes in general, including that Nathan can fly, Peter can sponge, and Claire can heal…
• Peter goes to Mohinder’s apartment where he finds Mohinder on the ceiling and dripping in blood. Mohinder is still alive and utters a warning to Peter that Sylar is there but not soon enough.
• Peter is slammed against the wall “I remember you, you’re like me. I want to see how that works.” He proceeds to do his trademark tk-knife on Peter. We see a line of blood on Peter’s forehead then a lock of hair drop to the floor… CLIFFHANGER here…

Hey folks, better late than never I say. Sorry for the late report, all of my time was concentrated on recovering from the server outage this past weekend. Here’s a few of the spoilers I picked up along the way (I’ll be back this afternoon sometime to add more):

KRISTIN @ E!ONLINE

When the season resumes in April Peter will have the legendary scar that future Hiro spoke of back in Chapter 5 - the result, his struggle with Sylar in this coming Monday’s episode Chapter Eighteen “Parasite”. Peter will also ditch the bangs (I never really saw the problem with em anyways, thought they added to his character) - in fact, he’ll be ditching hair altogether - BALD!

I just went to the Heroes set and…Oh. My. Gore. I can show you just about…oh, let’s see…nothing from my visit for the time being, because it’s such a huge, secret episode, and I’m under strict orders from NBC. Let’s just say there was a bloody, gory, end-of-the-world battle going on, with lots of blood and bumps and bruises (perhaps life-threatening) for some of our Heroic faves, so I can’t show you any of the gruesome footage until closer to the episode’s airdate (sometime in April or May). But, ohhh, how I can’t wait to show you! It’s gonna be insane! Bloody insane!

Peter is getting stronger! When asked about his “own personal Yoda” (the Invisible Man, Christopher Eccleston), Milo tells me: “Okay, we’ll talk in Star Wars. [Peter’s] going from a New Hope to Empire Strikes Back, where he is a little bit of a Jedi, he can use his abilities, but he can’t use them entirely. Not to their full pinnacle. Not yet. But he will.” Watch your back, Sylar!

PREVIEWS FOR CHAPTER EIGHTEEN “PARASITE”

Access Hollywood has this weeks clips for Heroes including a peak at the followup between Isaac, Peter, and Simone getting shot; HRG talking to Thompson and not remembering any of the events at his house that unfolded last week; Sylar and Mohinder getting all buddy buddy - Sylar offers to go find Isaac (we know where this could end up) because Mo is tired from the drive back; Hiro and Nathan (the one posted below); Nathan and the FBI who want him to wear a wire when he goes to meet Linderman; and Claire and the Haitian at the airport.  EDIT: The clips have been captured and put on YouTube.

ASK AUSIELLO @ TV GUIDE

Ausiello hints at more details about episode 20, which according to an interview with Jack Coleman (HRG) will take place five years in the future.

On the scoop front, AAdict Damon wrote in to tell me that Jack Coleman, during an interview with an L.A. radio station on Monday, revealed that Episode 20 will be set five years into the future. What he didn’t say is that (Spoiler alert) Hiro and Ando would be the ones making the trek.

I’m not sure what tv show this is from but it’s a clip from next weeks pod finale Chapter 18 “Parasite” (yes, they’ve shortened the title). The clip features Nathan bumping into Hiro in Vegas. The two talk and it would appear that Nathan is finally “getting it” and has come around. He agrees to help Hiro get past Linderman’s security. Great stuff - the onscreen chemistry between Pasdar and Oka is awesome.

Thanks to Ojosombra @ 9th Wonders, we’ve learned that another clip has been added to the collection of clips for Company Man. This one is a flashback featuring HRG getting welcomed into The Company by Thompson (Eric Roberts). At the end of the clip we are introduced to HRG’s partner but the clip ends before we can see who it is. In an earlier spoiler it was said it would be shocking to learn who HRG’s partner used to be. The current speculation, none other than our invisible friend Claude Rains… Check out the clip below courtesy of Zaza815 at YouTube:

UPDATE: Just wanted to add a link to a new behind the scenes clip of this episode (thanks to NikisOfan @ 9th Wonders) which shows some of the aftermath outside of the Bennet house and crispy Claire and her standins goofing off. Looks like Matt and Claire help the Bennets escape Ted but Claire goes back inside for something. The front door blows off and out walks crispy Claire.

Thanks to the heads-up from HeroesInfo.com we’ve learned that NBC has posted a non-Vista version of the preview for this coming Monday’s episode Company Man. Head over to NBC and check it out: http://video.nbc.com/player.html?dlid=64206

Thanks to JettAsian at 9th Wonders who provided a link to the new Yahoo clips for Company Man. There’s some messed up stuff going on at the Bennet house. And it would appear Matt didn’t want to take the family hostage, just HRG - but Ted is pretty persuasive. In addition Matt can hear Claire’s thoughts and it comes out she’s aware of The Haitian as well. Matt takes HRG back to the factory while Ted holds the rest of the family hostage “if you’re not back in an hour, just look for the mushroom cloud…”.

Thanks to 9th Wonders member JettAsian we’ve learned that Heroes-TV.com has posted in their gallery a couple great scans from the latest TV Guide of Chapter Seventeen Company Man. Looks like they weren’t kidding about topping the autopsy table scene from Chapter Three - Claire gets the Freddy Krueger treatment (maybe she should apply at the Burnt Toast Diner). Wounded, Matt looks like he gets taken into The Company’s custody by the end of the episode. I just can’t stop humming “Burning Down The House!” Anyways, here are some direct links to the scans in their gallery:

Hiya readers, sorry I’ve been a little backed up this week. Plus I wanted to wait for Ausiello’s comments on the interesting conflict of dates regarding Simone’s death in Chapter 16 instead of Chapter 18. I’ve also seen some interesting remarks from Kristin on the subject. So lets first begin with Ausiello because we all know someone was bound to have asked him the burning question:

Question: Why did Simone die on Monday’s Heroes? Didn’t you say the big death would occur on Mar. 5?— Rachel Stern
Ausiello: That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. (Spoiler alert!) Feb. 19 is when she got shot; Mar. 5 is when she dies.

I had two theories (because I never doubted Ausiello, he’s rarely wrong) - 1, the above reason; or 2, changes in the editing room to move the sequence earlier for sweeps.

Now a lot of people have been confusing Ausiello’s death spoilers with Kristins when in fact (and suspected as much) they seem to relate to two separate deaths in the series. Of course in another spoiler, we were told there would be two major deaths: one near the end of sweeps and another near the end of the season. Lets look at Kristin’s latest and you can formulate your own theories (which would be great to take to the forums hint hint):

But the most important thing you need to know is that the death of Simone, aka Tawny Cypress, is not the “death of a Hero” that I have been teasing. There were two deaths in store for the current episode arc, and the second is yet to come.

As I’ve mentioned before, this death is someone whom you’d think they couldn’t kill off because of his or her ability.

Nothing conflicting right? In fact if you look at all the spoilers relating to the remaining deaths this season they really do add up as long as you keep Kristin’s death separate from Ausiello’s death that is. Our money is riding on Isaac - he still has a date with Sylar over some fava beans and a nice chiante.

Anyways, if you’re confused about what Ausiello said about Simone’s death (and really, its not that confusing other than the fact that she actually looked like she died in Peter’s arms) - USA Today has an interview with Tawny Cypress from the aftermath of Simone’s death which will leave you confused further (I love keeping people on their toes):

There is some good news for Cypress: She certainly won’t be going hungry. The single mom to son Dexter, 6, has a new boyfriend: restaurateur Tom Dillon, who “is the love of my life.” And she’s set to make at least two more appearances on Heroes, one of which is the show’s two-hour finale, set to shoot at the end of March.

So she makes an appearance in the two hour season finale (wait, did they say TWO HOURS OF HEROES!?) - my guess is it’s gonna involve Hiro or Peter utilizing Hiro’s power.

In other news, via a great on set interview by the folks over at UGO, we have official confirmation that Eric Roberts is indeed playing Thompson, an OWI recruiter (as he puts it). He makes his debut in the next episode Chapter 17 Company Man. During the ordeal at the Bennet house (which you read the comics you’ll know that Hana is not present with Matt and Ted - she’s off looking for HRG’s superiors and ends up in Vegas - let the speculations fly) it looks like Teddy goes boom and the house catches on fire. Thompson comes strolling in wearing a flame retardant suit and pulls everyone out. As of this writing, the link to the source at UGO is not working (technical issues with their database it appears). However fan extraordinaire HERO managed to capture the whole thing and has posted it over at Heroes The Series for your reading pleasure.

Lastly here’s the YouTube capture of the preview for Company Man shown at the end of Unexpected (yes it’s the annoying Windows Vista version - I am definately getting a Mac now. Also note that so far this week the Canadian version from Global TV is MIA):

In an exclusive Q&A with TV Guide, Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli) dishes out some steamy hints about Nathan’s marriage and whats to come between Nathan and Jessica. Thanks to SpoilerFix for the heads-up.

Thanks to forum member HERO over at Heroes The Series (and 9th Wonders) we’ve learned that Chapter 18 now has a title and a description posted at NBCUMV. The title leaves a lot to the imagination “Like Any Parasite”. What follows is the official description:

DEATH, DUPLICITY, AND TERRIBLE GLIMPSES OF THE FUTURE SHAKE THE “HEROES” — LINDERMAN IS REVEALED AND NEW “HERO” CANDICE WILMER (GUEST STAR MISSY PEREGRYM) DEBUTS — With the election and NYC’s destruction looming, Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) has a disturbing face-to-face meeting with the shadowy Linderman. Hiro’s (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) attempt to steal the sword steers him into a grim new direction. Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) makes a breakthrough on “the list” — at great cost. D.L. (Leonard Roberts) begins to suspect all is not well at home. Isaac (Santiago Cabrera) paints his most terrible painting yet. New “hero” Candice Wilmer (guest star Missy Peregrym) makes an illusive debut. Jack Coleman, Tawny Cypress, Noah Gray-Cabey, Greg Grunberg, Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia also star. Ashley Crow, Jimmy Jean-Louis, James Kyson Lee, Zachary Quinto and Eric Roberts guest star.

Of note is that it appears that Kristin was right about the cast of Eric Roberts as Linderman, which leaves one to wonder what role Malcolm McDowell will play this season. Also either the spoilers were off or there was a change in character names as Missy Peregrym is playing a character named Candice Wilmer (and not Faith as originally spoiled - although there may have been some confusion with the character Hope who’s played by actress MISSI Pyle - note the obvious common first name).
