Ok, the cheerleader's saved ... now what?

I'll admit it: I'm addicted to Heroes, the new "X-Men-kinda-sorta-with-a-twist-and-we-ALSO-have-a-comic-book" series currently airing on NBC. Tonight was (supposed) to be the night that we all learned what was meant by the show's catch phrase:

Save the cheerleader ... save the world ...

I watched it and (like all previous episodes) it was well written. But ... I'm still waiting: the cheerleader's been saved ... what about the world? I hate marketing hype that blatantly lies.  But, I hate myself even more for believing it.
