"An Invisible Thread" is the twenty-fifth and final episode of the third season of the NBC science fiction drama series Heroes and fifty-ninth episode overall. The episode aired on April 27, 2009. It marked the end of the Fugitives volume, as well as its 2008-2009 season run. It ended with a brief introduction to the next volume, entitled Redemption.
Beginning from where the previous episode ended, Sylar is shown to be unaffected after Emile Danko attempted to incapacitate him by stabbing Sylar in the back of the head. Sylar explains that by using his shape-shifting abilities, he has moved the weak spot. Sylar then morphs into Danko and kills an agent, framing Danko for the murder. Sylar morphs into an agent and helps apprehend the furious Danko.
Meanwhile, it is revealed that when Noah Bennet and his car had been stopped at the roadblock, Claire Bennet and Angela Petrelli were not actually in the vehicle. A little while previously, Noah had realized the construction crew roadblock was a set-up, and had Claire and Angela leave the car, resulting in only Noah's capture. From there, Claire and Angela head to the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., where Angela tells Claire to find her father, Nathan Petrelli. Angela says she has dreamed the future, and leaves to go find Matt Parkman, explaining Nathan will be in trouble and Matt will be able to save him. Claire meets Nathan in his office, though actually Sylar in disguise, and wishes to accompany him to warn the President about Sylar. Sylar agrees, though he intends to meet the President so he can become him. The two go to meet the President, but are instead directed to a suite to wait for him. Claire notices that Sylar, as Nathan, uses the wrong hand to sign his name at the required sign-in checkpoint and deduces who he really is. Sylar holds her hostage and begins to toy with the possibility of her becoming his First Lady.
Following his nosebleed from the previous episode, Hiro Nakamura is able to stop time and he and Ando Masahashi break into Building 26. Hiro and Ando find the prisoners hooked up to the drugs and replace them with members of the Building 26 unit. When Hiro reverts time, he begins to feel dizzy again and starts to bleed from his ear. Also freed from among the prisoners, Mohinder Suresh informs Hiro that his body is rejecting his power, and stopping time again could result in his death. Also in the building, Danko and Noah are being held in a room, though Hiro had opened the door when he had stopped time. Danko proposes they work together to take down Sylar, intending to use a tranquilizer to subdue him. However, Danko turns to use it on Noah, but Hiro stops time once more to take the tranquilizer from him and injects Danko with it. Hiro reverts time and then collapses, while Noah calls Claire to check up on her. Noah is stunned to hear Sylar answering her cell.
