Heroes Season 3 Episode 23: 1961

Last night’s episode of Heroes, “1961”, picked up where they left off last week, at Coyote Sands.

While everyone is at the site digging, Peter gets angry at Nathan and huffs off to find Angela. He confronts her, wanting to know what happened on the site. This is where the show’s title comes into play.

Angela looks back to 1961, as a bus pulls up to the Coyote Sands Relocation Center. Angela and her sister, Alice, arrive and are welcomed by Dr. Chandra Suresh. While touring the grounds, Angela asks why there are armed guards, and Suresh brushes it off, saying it is just to keep everyone safe. Alic wants to go home but Angela reminds her that the doctor said he could make her nightmares go away and that she has a genetic problem so the whole family needs to deal with it.

Back in the present day, Angela explains to Peter that her family died on the site and she is afraid history will repeat itself, that is why she has been so adamant that they all work together. Angela explains to the whole group that back then, they believed the government was going to cure them so went there willingly but she was lucky enough to escape.
