"Acceptance" is the third episode of the fourth season of the NBC science fiction drama series Heroes and sixty-second episode overall. The episode has aired on October 5, 2009.
The episode opens with Tracy Strauss getting ready to meet with Governor Robert Malden to get her job back. However, she wonders if it's time for herself to change, and after meeting with Noah Bennet, decides she wants to play a more active role in helping people alongside the governor. When she meets with Malden about this, he dismisses it, causing Tracy to excuse herself to the bathroom due to her anger. While inside, Tracy seems to lose control of her water powers while she's angry, though she forms back together when she calms down. She then coldly leaves Malden in the restaurant.
Hiro Nakamura is happy to discover that his sister, Kimiko, and Ando Masahashi are engaged, and agrees to send Kimiko off. Ando is worried, as the wedding isn't for another year, and Hiro may be dead by then. Ando urges Hiro to accept his fate and tell Kimiko the truth. However, they are then interrupted by a phone call for their "Dial-A-Hero" scheme; a former accountant at their company named Tadashi says he's on the roof of the building and is preparing to commit suicide. Hiro talks with him, learning that he wants to kill himself because he was fired from his job due to an embarrassing incident while intoxicated at a party. Hiro decides to travel back in time to prevent Tadashi from doing so, and afterward, returns to the moment right before the phone call. However, he receives the call from Tadashi, learning that Tadashi had a similar incident at another party. Hiro travels back in time again to correct Tadashi's mistake, but upon returning, Hiro still receives the call from Tadashi. Hiro again talks with Tadashi, telling him they must each accept their fates, and that Tadashi should find another job and has so much to live for, revealing his terminal illness to him. Tadashi finally seems convinced and climbs down. Hiro decides to tell Kimiko he is dying, but during their conversation, he begins to have a headache and seems to be frozen in time. He reverts to normal, assuring Kimiko he is fine, but then vanishes right in front of her.

Meanwhile, Edgar begins to doubt Samuel's plan in finding other people with abilities. Samuel then uses Lydia to find another person, though she shows him an image of Noah. Samuel asks why she's showing him as he is retired, but Lydia says that he may have changed his mind. Noah is then shown beginning to investigate the compass and his encounter with Edgar.
