After several episodes of mostly singular character development, NBC's "Heroes" is taking the next step in further the super drama - by mixing and matching the characters in suprising ways. Mohinder Suresh meets Peter Petrelli again (they shared a cab in the first episode, but that first meeting seemed easily forgotten), with Peter suggesting to genecist Mohinder he might be able to mimic the powers of others. Mohinder had a rather forgetful meeting earlier with Peter's politician brother Nathan, who has his security detail brashly escort Mohinder out of his sight. Peter tries to introduce the doubting Mohinder to the heroin-strung precog artist Issac Mendez, but Issac is too busy painting-by-trance to notice the knock on the door.
