That was great! And I love how Hiro took him with him to the future.

Friggle-fragging voice-overs... Huh, looks like we'll be dealing with shooting of Simone. Interesting how Isaac went for the "it was supposed to be you" and "it's your fault". While Peter later blames the both of them. Actualy, he was among the ones that I was guessing. But I would never have guessed who it actually turned out to be. Never!! I was pleased that he didn't take away his memories of caring about Claire. But of course that did set up the possibility of him hunting for her, thinking it was for her own good. What they ended up doing with his storyline, though, was even more amazing! **nods** If I were him, I wouldn't be believing their "we'll let you go" story. On the other hand, how are they hiding their plans from him? They're doing a good job with making her a willful teen who, even now, doesn't really grasp how deep this all goes. Not enough life experience (much as she's been through) to really understand what her dad did. Some very nice visuals in this ep.

"I'm agent Large Cheese Sandwich"? Wow, Nathan actually DOES have a conscience. He's been working WITH the feds? I tell ya, I think they should have called this ep "unexpected". ;D That was so perfectly done as a surprise and yet also felt immediately right once we knew the truth. All the stuff we'd learned earlier about their dad and so on fits so well. Very nice moment, that. Nathan is still Nathan. So even though we know he's more good guy than we thought before he still has that concern with expediency. Telling Peter to do nothing and that now is not the time to "get noble". Going to see Mohinder was actually a good suggestion, from their perspective. I was soooo waffling about it myself, because I was hoping that Peter would warn Mohinder, having seen the real Sylar and all. But it also posed such danger. Granted, the danger ended up a bit differently than I had been picturing it. I loved loved loved that scene. We got to see Mrs B in whole new light, we got to see that HRG wouldn't be threatening Claire by going after her. And I loved her response of "you do fine". A really very sweet moment for them. And the barking phone was classic. Every moment with Sylar was soo soooo eeksome! When Mohinder said "this is the list" I was practically shouting nooooooooooo, don't tell him. And then, drugging the chai. Just . . . whoa! That also surprised me muchly. I KNOW!!!! Why will no one rid us of this troublesome mutant?! Just skwoosh him!!

oh, momo! just when i was starting to think you were too stupid to live, you come through! I was so hopefull for a while. But then when Sylar goaded him and he didn't kill Sylar, I was just all . . . damn. You should just have taken his head right off, Mohinder. Whatever he knew? You can find out some other way. Or else you don't need to know.

Woo-hoo! Mohinder's caught on to Sylar, and caught him.
Mohinder Suresh - not just another pretty-boy genius.
So nice to see Mrs. Bennett showing more spine. HRG obviously was very thorough.
I missed some of the first scene - Nate's actually trying to nail Lindermann rather than doing dirty dealings with him, or is he snowing Peter?
GAIL Oh, Nathan was definitely trying to get Lindermann. I very much worry how trapped poor Nathan is now.

a shapeshifter?! ETA: yep. not sure how i feel about this. A very scary power. One of the few things I actually saw coming was her impersonation of Mrs. Bennet. First, she said the thing about her hair. And then, the whole scene where she draws him out, I knew, I just knew it wasn't really her. And where is the real Mrs. B, I want to know? Now that they can't erase her mind, what will they do to contain her?

I also wonder if the newbie (NAMES, people—give these characters NAMES!) is actually a shapeshifter. I mean, that's exactly what I thought at first as well. But the way the background went wonky when she went in and out of Simone mode made me reconsider; now I suspect she creates illusions or otherwise alters people's perceptions.

So cutely done, that moment. His "swoosh" movements and Nathan covering up his mouth and then dodging the sword case as Hiro turned. You clever clever you. I was never happier to see anyone than I was to see Ando when he showed up. ;D Hiro is rather observant, isn't he? And Nathan is rather effective with threats. And she's running out of time to pine the "unbeknowst to her" uncle. ;D Another very cool visual. And an insight into her psyche (she's mean) when she deliberately shifts to look like the shot up Simone. D.L. sooooo knows. And he is NOT a happy camper. Plus, it's kind of fun to see Niki doing the same kind of stuff to Jessica that was done to her. Popping into her life, messing up her plans, Jessica not being aware that Niki was in charge for a bit. **nods nods nods** **nods** Why didn't Mohinder just wack the guy? I mean, really. "Daddy told me all about your sister, you were too fragile" blah blah. Just snuff him already! Good to see him be all ouchy, but spinal tapping him until his head came off would have been a better idea. Um. I've obviously feeling a bit bloodthirsty tonight.

So so so very happy to see Ando. And it was perfect how he was all "I knew you'd set off an alarm eventually". ;D He knows Hiro so well.

Hiro in the gallery! "Dead Sea Fragments" Whups.. Lovely deadpan deliver on that line. And very lovely shot when Hiro first came in, posed against the red wall as he opened the doors. Rocks like a totally rocking thing. **nods** And you know, I'd be fine with just plain old revenge, I think. Why oh why didn't you just go for it, Mo-Mo? Sylar. The ultimate mutant cockroach. He just keeps not being squished.

yep, this is what drives me crazy about having a shapeshifter integral in a plot. i don't like never knowing whether other characters are talking to the actual person or the shapeshifter. **nods** It's as unnerving as the invisible power. You can never be sure of your plotting now.

Can't say as I'm surprised, that he's got back on the horse. Nope. He was still so close to his time of addiction and, as poor dead Simone pointed out, still holding to the same way of thinking. So when things go badly . . . he turned back to the thing that would make the pain go away. And the thing that is the easy path to his power. Another excellent surprise. I think they did an excellent job of keeping me guessing all ep long as to which plans would work and which go horribly awry. Oooh, I didn't notice that. Seem awfully destructo still, though. Maybe just the skeleton shape of a building that was destroyed?
