"I Am Sylar" is the twenty-fourth episode of the third season of the NBC science fiction drama series Heroes and fifty-eighth episode overall. The episode aired on April 20, 2009. It is the penultimate episode of season 3, and volume 4.
The episode opens with the scene from the previous episode, showing Angela Petrelli and the group seeing Nathan Petrelli, though actually Sylar, giving a press conference on TV. The episode then proceeds to recount what happened 18 hours earlier.
Sylar has been having an identity crisis after being forced by Emile Danko to live the life of an agent. When he tells Danko about this, he suggests Sylar find an "anchor," or something he can relate to so he can remind himself who he really is. Sylar finds an anchor in the form of his late mother's effects, whom he begins having conversations with by morphing into her and back. Later, Sylar manages to acquire an ability to disintegrate objects from a man targeted by the agency; he also finds the man had been contacted by "Rebel" moments before he had arrived. Giving the phone to Danko, his agency is able to track Rebel's location to an abandoned warehouse. Sylar manages to reach Micah first, intending to acquire his ability. Micah, however, tells him he can help him with his identity crisis, and says "You can save us all." At this, Sylar agrees to help him, and then morphs into Micah to lead Danko's men away so that Micah can escape. Sylar, as Micah, is then shot and falls into the pier, where Danko and his men are led to believe he is dead. Later, Sylar takes Micah to his home, where Micah witnesses Sylar having one of his conversations with his mother. Catching Micah watching him, Sylar demands he leave, though Micah exclaims he can use his ability to change into someone important and make a difference; before leaving, Micah suggests he turn into Nathan Petrelli so he can convince the President to terminate the agency.
Matt Parkman contacts his ex-wife, Janice Parkman, who has been released from the authorities, telling her their son is safe and he intends to bring him back to her. Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi plan to raid Building 26 to put a stop to the agency, and wish Matt to come along, though he says he doesn't want to abandon his son. Matt and his son are then reunited with Janice at her home, though Matt uses his telepathy to discover Danko's men have been stationed outside. Matt tells Janice to get packed so they can leave as soon as possible. Initially intending to go with them, Matt later changes his mind after seeing his old police badge, saying he will go help Hiro and Ando take down the agency. The agents soon enter the house, and Matt is shown using his telepathy to essentially make them invisible.
