I wasn't too impressed with the Hiro/Ando story in this episode either. This Hope is obviously a con artist who played Ando, but why? What is the hook here? Where are they going with it? Who is this Gaming Enforcement agent that freed Hiro? How long will it take to get Hiro to the sword? It left me a bit flat.
The Claire arc is shaping up well. I just saw her real mom playing Nathan for money. Then she tells Claire she is only getting $50k & that Claire can have half when she is really getting $100k. This woman is a real con artist. I see her being used later in the series to get at Claire or her using Nathan and or Claire to get something she wants. It was sad watching her hear Nathan tell her mother she did well in letting Claire go.
You took the words right out of my mouth Singate. I said it as soon as Mr Bennett led her into the house last night. I looked at my wife and said, "Yep. Looks like Specs had her mind wiped one too many times". I don't doubt that is what happened, but is it what leads to her apparent death in the next episode? What will Claire do? She brought up to her dad the "memory loss", but she didn't really confront him. Will that change if her adopted mother dies? Also, the exchange at the end of the episode when Mrs Bennett didn't recognize Mr Muggles or Claire.....what is that about? Is he mind deteriorating? That is what it looks like.
How is it that Jessica has suppressed Nikki? How did Jessica cut the deal w/ Linderman to get them sprung? I guess she must have swiped the shrink's phone after she tazered her in the interrogation room. How is it that neither Micca or her husband have noticed anything? Micca could tell in the past over the phone when Jessica was in control so how is he missing it when she is right in front of him? Now that she is after Nathan I imagine that that will be the catalyst for getting her, her hubby and Micca to NYC.
I agree that Matt is the consumate good guy, but after hearing that detective's thoughts that he would never wear a badge again he had to be thinking about how he is going to make a living. He probably thought the diamonds were his way to insure his and his wife's future. I believe it will also resurface later and cause him guilt leading to his returning them or doing something good with them.
I am thinking the new ability Sylar took could work on any matter. It seems to break down molecular cohesion causing matter to fall apart into a liquid like substance which would appear to resolidify when the power subsides. Not sure if it will work on animate objects, but I am sure Sylar will try to find out.
Now Sylar is tagging along w/ Mohinder to try to track down the other heroes. That could prove interesting. It would also explain how Sylar winds up in NYC for the big finale.
What is up with Peter? I want to see some more of his story with Claude.

I’m not going to come out so strong against Claire’s real mother. It’s evident, that she doesn’t care for Claire as much as Claire may have expected, but I’m not sure why she would. It’s not like Claire has really been a part of her life or that she perceives Claire to be in any condition where she feels she could help. I think Claire was naïve to expect that she would. Meredith is obviously not a completely honest person and probably never has been, but she comes across to me much more like a selfish opportunist then a con-artists. I don’t think she played Claire, I think her intentions were sincere, but when Nathan offered her the money I think she really lacked the self-respect and character to turn it down. In a way Nathan’s offer of money was insulting and demonstrates as much selfishness on his part. While both probably care for Claire or at least the idea of Claire on some level, neither is prepared to risk the adverse affect that the responsibility of a daughter would bring, and why should they? From their vantage point, Claire is the daughter in a relatively well off family. It’s probably not a good idea for the estranged biological parents of an adopted child to be consorting with this child without her legal parent’s involvement. Ideally, this is something that should be handled officially. So part of Nathan’s and Meredith’s reaction is Claire’s fault for having involved herself with essentially strangers without the protection of her parents. None of this is surprising; both Nathan and Meredith have their own lives to deal with and Claire is naïve to expect anything more at this point. Although it was heartbreaking to watch Claire struggle with Nathan’s response. She was probably a bit star struck by Nathan’s wealthy appearance, and for a moment I think she believed whatever infatuations she had concocted in her head. But really it isn’t Nathan that she wants; she’s trying to replace the relationship and the trust that she feels she’s lost from her father, Mr. Bennett. This is the clash between Claire and Mr. Bennett that was bound to happen, and if Claire’s mother’s new condition turns out to be a product of Mr. Bennett’s repeated brain-washings, I suspect that both Claire and Bennett may find this difficult to reconcile.

I'm loving this. Curious to see what's gonna happen with Hiro & Ando. I can tell Ando's already starting to doubt Hope's story. Real question is what's in the purse (and what it was doing in Guy-who-voices-Patrick's room).
New comic up. Focusing on Sylar's escape.

This confirms that, yes, Sylar did kill Charlie even in the "fixed" timeline. It also explains why Sylar was so quick to team up with Suresh.
The preview makes it look like next week's gonna be the confrontation between Claire and Glasses. Can't wait!

Actually, I believe it was her intention all along to get cash from Nathan. Her behavior on the phone and her not refusing the money to me speaks of her seeking it in the first place. Add to that the fact she lied to Claire about how much was coming just lends further evidence to the fact she is a selfish opportunist who is really on in this for herself.
Meredith can clearly see that Claire is hurting and looking for a connection, but she used Claire's existence to milk money from Nathan and then run off to Mexico. She doesn't care for Claire and can't wait to leave Texas to go back south of the border. Whether Claire has been a part of her life or not, Claire is her daughter, one she thought dead up until this point, so why wouldn't she care

Where did Sylar get the ability to create ice? He appears to be creating a patch of ice on the road while trying to escape those Virginia state troopers (wish they had gotten the color of our state trooper cars right).

Probably one of the first powers he has collected previously in the time before Heroes starts taking place.

Yeah, way back in the second episode, we saw the frozen corpse of one of Sylar's victims. Remember when we first met Matt?

That's right! The frozen corpses! I had completely forgotten about them. Been so long since Sylar has used that trick it had slipped my mind.
Wonder how it is exactly that he is getting the powers. Ingesting part of the brain perhaps?

Well, Sylar does have the ability to know how things work (remember the episode that showed his past?). My guess is that he studies the brains to find out how a person's abilities work.

Sylar and Micah have similar abilities then. Where Micah can make something function by concentrating on it; Sylar can instantaneously know how something functions by concentrating on it.
