Jack Coleman, who plays the mysterious Mr. Bennet on NBC's Heroes, told SCI FI Wire that fans can expect a satisfying ending as well as a "big cliffhanger" in the last few minutes of the upcoming season finale. "What it really is is a fantastic resolution," Coleman said in an interview at the Saturn Awards in Universal City, Calif., last week. "And then a springboard into something completely unexpected. I just saw it, and it's so cool I can't even tell you. It's just fantastic. It's like, 'What? What?' It's great."

Since the beginning of the season, Bennet has gradually been making the transition from an ambiguous villain into a hero. And now that he's chosen to protect his daughter, Claire (Hayden Panettiere), from the shadowy organization he once worked for, his transformation is complete. But that doesn't mean he won't still have a dark side. "I think he's morphed into a good guy," Coleman said of his character. "He had to make a choice. He chose Claire. And then there's the fallout from that. But the good thing is that I don't think he'll be defanged. I think his skill set will be used still in a morally gray way, but to different ends."

Coleman also said that Bennet, also known by the nickname H.R.G. because of his horn-rimmed glasses, will finally get a first name. "There will be a name," Coleman promised. "I can't tell you when it comes or how it comes, but I think there will be a name."
