Chapter Seventeen 'Company Man'
17 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
For sci fi fans this is an iconic episode in many ways.

You have flashbacks where Doctor Who meets the Master with Mr Sulu in the background.

It is a shock to see Claude Rains as a clean cut Company Man. He is teamed up with Mr Bennet by the mysterious Thompson (Eric Roberts.)

You also find out how Mr Bennet was given baby Claire to raise as his own by Hiro's father Kaito Nakamura but told she will always belong to the company. They will come for her if she ever displays any powers.

The reason why Mr Bennet has been so protective of Claire. Yet he shoots Claude when ordered to do so. Claude realised that he his hurting his own kind and betrays the Company.

The main thrust of the episode is Ted Sprague and Matt Parkman forcing their way into the Bennet's house to get the truth.

However Matt realises that Ted is unstable and he and Mr Bennet need to work together.

The episode concentrates on just a few characters. Yet so much background is filled by the flashbacks.
