As cool as that scene was with Peter and Isaac (probably the coolest fight scene I've watched outside of a Joss show), it also worries me.
At some point, there is going to be a limit to Peter's ability. Mohinder said that if he absorbs too many abilities, it will imbalance him somehow. What will happen to him when that day comes? And until that time, will Peter become another Sylar? Will having access to so much power cause him to lash out at others? Or, as another possiblity, will Peter become the opposite of Sylar, and use his abilities to help others, perhaps even the other heroes?
Oh, and the scene with Hiro and Stan Lee was way cool. 
P.S. - Can Claude (as well as Peter) make other objects invisible, even people? I was never sure about that.

I think it's more of a case of Peter absorbing Claude's power, not Claude making him invisible.
My question is did Peter see Mr. Bennett when they came to tazer him? Because he's seen Claire's dad before when she came to see him in jail. So now will he try to contact her to protect her? Is that how she gets to NYC?
And now that Mr. Bennett knows that the Haitian didn't erase Claire's memory, what will he do to the Haitian? When Matt & his posse show up, will the Haitian abandon him? Maybe that's how we find out Claire's adoption story, Matt reads it from Mr. Bennett's mind. Could it be Peter who rescues Claire? That would put him in contact with Radioactive Man.
So now that Sylar is traveling with Mohinder, it's possible that he does make it back to NYC and to Isaac to fullfill what Hiro saw in the future. We know Mohinder knows Isaac & might try to access his ability to stop Sylar (who's right under his nose, duh). Isaac sure bought himself a giant hunk of bad karma last night.
Finally --- aaaagh! Hiro has his power back & he doesn't even know it! I don't think we've seen the last of Ando either. I hope not, I was really starting to like him.
My husband with all the Heroes insight isn't here this week so all this is purely conjecture.

The online comics ( http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/) explained that Sylar has finished going through the list he got from Chandra; Zane was the last one. Teaming up with Mohinder is the only way for Sylar to find other victims.
Of course, Mohinder is not a fool. Sylar's assumption of super-hearing (and the resulting migraines) may have already made him suspicious, and he knows Sylar's distinctive killing style. It won't take him long to put two and two together. I'm guessing that Sylar's going to try to get his hands on the finalized List --which would make Mohinder irrelevant.
New comic this week ( http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/novel_021.shtml), demonstrating that Hana does in fact have a sense of compassion. Looks like she's parted ways with Ted and Matt, so no telling if she'll be involved in the showdown. It's also worth noting that Hana's introduction to Ted actually "happened" several episodes ago; it was an exclusive clip on the website, and it was featured in the comic a couple of weeks ago (she didn't have the injector at that time).
No Easter Egg this week, just a link that leads to the 404 page.
I for one am sorry to see Simone go. She was a good influence on both Isaac and Peter, and it looks like they're about to need her now more than ever.
I'm also gonna miss Ando. Hopefully he'll stick around --Who says Hiro's the only one on a Journey?
It was cool seeing Stan Lee turn up (as he has in every Marvel movie --but then this isn't a Marvel property).
I doubt we've seen the last of Claude. Given how he reacted to Bennet & the Haitian, it's obvious he has some past history there. I strongly suspect he'll be involved in the outcome of that plot thread.
(And he can definitely turn other things invisible, or we'd still be able to see a disembodied set of clothes walking around with a stolen cellphone and cash.)
Can't wait for next week, and the showdown at the Bennets' house.

Claire cried over spilt milk.
Most of this episode was predictable. This was the inevitable clash between Claire and Bennett. Now Mr. Bennett is losing control of the situation. We will find out what he’s really made of. Also Claire will have to make a choice. I suspect that as Claire matures and learns to take on more responsibility for her family, she will discover the difficulty in trying to protect her family. Next episode will be really good I think.
The clash between Peter and Isaac was a surprise. Although I sort of thought it would happen eventually, I didn’t expect it this soon, but as soon as it did, I totally knew Simone would be the casualty somehow. Really sad about Simone too. She was the major hotty of the show. I can’t decide whether she’s really dead though, but the either way, the fallout from this will be big.

I am not certain if he saw Bennett or not. It was night time and they were wearing infra-red goggles. I am thinking he probably did not, but we don't know for certain.

Does he know that the Haitian didn't try? He may believe that her healing ability undid whatever it is that the Haitian was supposed to have done to her. If he doesn't think that it is definitely plausible. I also think with his wife in the hospital as a direct result of the mind wipe by the Haitian and Claire's feelings about what he has done I doubt that Bennett will really care at this point that the Haitian did not mind wipe Claire.

Possible, but we are not certain that Isaac will die. That is just one possible future that may be thwarted by the actions of the heroes. Remember that in Peter's vision of himself exploding outside of his brother's campaign office Isaac is there along with the rest of the heroes with the exception of Ted and Hanna.

I was glad to see Hiro access his ability. Did anyone else notice that not only did he stop time, he reversed it, but only on the bullet itself. He appeared to have reversed time on the bullet pushing it back into the gun causing Hope to drop the gun. Could it be a new extension of his power? To selectively alter time around a single or multiple objects without affecting the entire planet?

You would think so and I hope you are right. Of course if Mohinder suspects he will have to play it real cool. He knows he can't handle Sylar and with his new ability of super hearing he can't get too excited or scared as it would be a dead giveaway. I foresee a confrontation with Sylar before he masters the hearing power and Mohinder using a loud noise like a whistle or something of that nature to put Sylar down long enough to hightail it out of there.

I really enjoyed this weeks comic. It did show that noble, compassionate side to Hanna. Glad to see her take down the kiddie porn scumbags.
She has definitely parted ways, at least for now, with Matt and Ted. I was wondering why she was not in the Bennett household w/ the others.

I am not so certain that Peter won't try to use Hiro's power to bring her back. If he does it would go a long way towards bridging the rift we see between Isaac and Peter now. Of course if they do that it is the easy way out and would be way too comic bookish in explaining bringing a dead character back to life. There is also the fact of they have a dead body riddled with bullet holes in Isaac's flat. How are they going to explain that to the police?

Very cool! I love Stan Lee's little cameos in the Marvel movies and showing up in Heroes just made the episode all the more fun for me.

I don't think we have either. Peter sees him in his visions of the explosion in NYC. Of course Claude is off to the side laughing like a maniac, so who knows. Definitely a past between Claude and Bennett given that Bennett commented to Isaac how they thought that old acquaintance was dead (or words to that affect). No doubt Claude worked for or was duped by Bennett before and it turned bad for Claude. I would love to see that backstory.
Not only did he turn the cash and cell invisible, we see (or didn't see in this case) that the staff he was pummeling Peter with was invisible. All we saw at first was water splashing and heard noises until we were allowed to see the two sparring. Apparently anything either of them touches becomes invisible as well, though I imagine it has limits such as size or that they must be able to carry it.

If Hiro was unable to save Charlie how is it that Peter could go back to save Simone? I didn't think the ability worked that way. Didn't Hiro say something about not being able to change events that had already taken place?
I have seen some speculation that it wasn't Hiro who stopped the bullet but someone off camera. Future Hiro again perhaps?
There appears to be more going on between Bennet and Claude than meets the eye. I get the feeling that he wasn't so much an unwilling participant but rather a partner. At some point I figure they had a huge falling out over methodology and ultimate goals about those who had abilities. Either Bennet tried to have him killed or he simply faked his death to get away.

Yay! Heroes! Love it. This show has currently kicked House M.D of the pedestal as my favourite series currently on air.

Dude, forget last week, this was the best episode so far.
I admit, I've had my doubts about Bennett. Most of the time, I thought he was complete evil. But this episode showed hm as a human being, a father trying to protect his family. And the ending was especially poignant.
And I really loved the flashback to Claire as an infant. I knew a lot of the heroes had ties to one another, but this was just jaw-dropping. I wonder what it all means for the future...

I know. Tonights ep was so far the best ep of the season so far. The unexpected return of Hiro's dad and Hiro and the image of Claire emerging from the house like she just took a stroll through a nuclear reactor were great touches. But it was the final scene on the bridge between Claire and HRG was just priceless. The ultimate bit of self-sacrifice I've seen so far on the show. You know, if Joss had created this show, that scene wouldn't exist at all.
Can't wait for next weeks ep with the reveal of Linderman and Hiro getting the sword at last.
