I am – Hercules!!

From Friday’s Ausiello Report over at TV Guide:

Sources confirm that [“Heroes”] is going back and shooting an alternate ending to the Dec. 3 episode that, if used, would allow the episode to function as a season finale in the event of a strike. Originally, the episode was only supposed to serve as the conclusion of the current "Generations" arc. Should an 11th-hour agreement be reached and a strike averted (fingers crossed!), the alt ending would likely be scrapped.

Let’s review:

CLAIRE. Freaked out drunken head cheerleader Debbie and took her place on the squad.

MONICA. Worked on gymnastics with Mohinder in New York, then got an iPod from Bob when he returned her to K-Ville.

MOHINDER. Refused to inject Monica and used a lab stool to smash a giant glass case of superpower antidote.

JESSIKI. Announced, Ravenwood-style, she’s Mohinder’s new goddamn partner.

SYLAR. Made love-eyes at Maya until she killed the Citizen Border Patrol. The Rogue crossed back into Claire’s homeland.

ANDO. Continued to read Hiro’s diary.

HIRO. Admitted to the princess his true feelings and gave her a big wet one.

KENSEI. Turned out to be a traitorous swine who knocked Hiro unconscious.

NOAH & THE HAITIAN. Bulleted Ivan’s brain and found the missing (but not terribly helpful) Mendez paintings.

PETER. Traveled with Caitlin to Montreal and found a note addressed to Peter: “We were right about The Company. The world is in danger. It’s up to us. Adam.” Then they popped onto the set of “Vanilla Sky.” Or possibly “I Am Legend.”

MATT. NATHAN. MICAH. ANGELA. ELLE. Sat last week out.

Ahead:

When the clock turns back four months for all of the Heroes, Nathan pays a terrible cost for his heroic actions.

D.L. (Leonard Roberts) makes the ultimate sacrifice for Niki (Ali Larter) and Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey).

Meanwhile, Matt uses his mental abilities to track down the last person in the company photo. In addition, Nathan learns his brother is alive. Outside of New York, Maya must choose between Alejandro and Sylar.

9 p.m. Monday. NBC.

(The discount presumably celebrates the release of the “Twilight Zone” movie in HD, so don’t expect it to last ...)
