Passion leveraged "Heroes" into the recognizable phenom from two seasons back. There was the romantic passion of time traveling Hiro to his deceased and breifly loved Charlie the waitress. Her powers gave her a photographic memory, but also developed a tumor that ultimately killed her.

A creative team's passion for their program was evident in the reliance on the series' home-brewed character development. "Once Upon a Time in Texas" clearly holds the title of the most poignant for season four to date.

The most unexpected but welcome feature of Chapter Seven was that Hiro returned true to form. Since season two, the bulk of discussions on "Heroes"-based forums complained about the lack of growth for the popular character. Hiro remained purposed as a near comic-relief. On tonight's episode, Hiro showed competence with histime travelling ability, as well as a higher proficiency of the same. Of greater significance was Hiro's matured role to reflect his progress through four seasons' trials.

With the expounded background on Noah Bennett when employed with Primatech and on
Samuel's purpose in the serie's tiered progression, the next episode wafts with the flavor of
intensity that built "Heroes" ratings largesse.

Tonight's episode was not the biggest talk-of-the-day. Earlier tonight E! Online announced the news of which character would not be returning for future seasons. Nathan Petrelli, if there was any doubt, was revealed as the "Heroes" death for the current season.
