On last night's episode of Heroes, Daphne bit the bullet... literally!

You never know with this series, but all signs indicate a permanent death for this enjoyable character.

Moreover, according to E! Online, another blonde with abilities is headed for the grave.

Sources say that Ali Larter's character of Tracy Strauss will be in serious trouble around episode 20. She's described as getting "broken up," which doesn't bode very well based on how last night's installment ended.

Will she return as yet another manifestation along the lines of Niki/Jessica/Tracey? it's unclear, but let's hope not. Deaths have to start sticking on this show or it will lose all suspense.
