HEROES

1. LUCKY

Lucky [Your Fearless Updater initially thought it was AJ] climbs into
Liz' room and adjusts the shade.  Liz brings in brownies.  They discuss
how she's tired of being afraid of the rapist.  He's worried that she's
too engrossed with revenge.  [Luke would disown him for such un-Spencerish
thoughts!  As would "let's lure Damian to the catacombs" Aunt Bobbie!]
Lucky says it's like his Dad.  "Is that right?  Does it help anything?"

Liz wonders if they're not like other people. He's been sharing a room
and he's the only person she can stand for more than a few minutes.

Liz asks: "What's your Mom like?"
"People take to her right away.  When you talk to her, it's like she
understands everything.  She impresses the Hell out of you.  It's like
everything she says is true and right, even when it isn't."  Lucky is mad
that he didn't get told about Nik.  "The most important things she
doesn't talk about unless she has to."

Liz wonders if Laura understands something Liz never will.  Lucky asks
her if she could ever marry her rapist.  She says there's no comparison,
since she didn't know him.  She says Laura's experience was more like
"date rape."  Lucky wonders if Laura really forgave Luke.

Liz says she can't imagine marrying her rapist.  Maybe she could get to
the point of not hating him every minute of every day, but marry him ...
no way.
Liz is sorry she didn't go to the police right away.  Lucky reminds her
that: "We're not technically sure it's Mr. Murty."  She considers
trapping him. They argue about it.  Liz goes to bed.  Later she has
nightmares and Lucky holds her.

2. JAX

Jax is at the Police Station after looking for Brender all day.  Mac
offers him a SWAT military helicopter.  Mac will call in favors.  Jax
tells Mac how cold it is out there.

Felicia brings food.  She says they'll find Brenda.  Jax describes the
area and the dangers.  Robin overhears.  Jax apologizes.  Felicia talks
to Robin.  Robin says she's made a mistake.  She was afraid of losing
Jason, and now look she's lost him.  She keeps forgetting that she's alive.
She swears she's going to take the chance to be together if she gets it.

Felicia gives a worried Mac a neck rub.  He doesn't know what to tell
Robin.  "That punk ... if he's got a scratch on him I'll beat him to a
bloody pulp."  Jax, too, is having second thoughts about his relationship
with Brenda.

Jerry and Jax are going up in the copter.

3. JASON, BRENDA

[Your Fearless Updater was stunned to LIKE Brenda in these scenes!]

Brenda's hip hurts.  She looks for Jason.  He was out looking for water,
but they have to go lower.  He's brought berries.  They argue about
who'll taste them (he's worried that she'll get dysentery, she that he
wouldn't be able to hunt for food and water.)  She pigs out on the
berries.  She doesn't want "Model dies of starvation" as an obituary.
After 45 minutes she says she won't get sick and Jason says that's great
now that all the berries are gone.

Brenda is optimistic that they will find water.  Jason is pragmatic.  She
tells him they need hope.  She makes a deal, she will be optimistic and
hope for the best and he can expect the worst.

Brenda hopes Jax is being careful.  It begins to rain.  They discuss
staying dry and collecting water in their shoes.

Jason says Jax will get bored with the search and Brenda says he won't.
Jason wants Brenda to talk so they can stay awake.  They talk about
Michael.  She finds it hard to believe Jason reads Michael adult stuff.
She tells about her own dad and how she was fat, etc.

A plane flies high overhead and they bicker.  Jason reminds her of the deal,
since her optimism is wavering.

Brenda tells Jason about fairy tales.  He doesn't understand the
concept.  He wonders about the pumpkin.  [The actors looked like they
were having a lot of fun with these scenes.]  "If I saw someone wearing
glass shoes, I'd think she was pretty special."  He talks about the glass
breaking, and it not fitting anyone.  Brenda decides to try Rapunzel
instead.  Jason asks how Rapunzel could wash her hair or go to the
bathroom.  Brenda gives up. He's hopeless.
