This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
my first reaction upon seeing her story was Dark Phoenix/Jean Gray (the movie version, not the comic book version)-- that they were synbolizing her schizophrenia via the reflections.
I'm wondering if she separates into two personalitites/bodies, but doesn't currently have the strength to maintain them both at the same time.
I thought she had blood spattered across the front of her shirt?
Then there's the "why didn't the evil alter-ego bury the bodies?" Unless Evil!Alter-Ego is so evil that it wants to drag NotEvil!JustStupid down to it's level, thereby making it easier to take over full-time, cuz it certainly took the time to clean the garage.

ooh, but when they do, "It's on, bitch!"? Which mom will the son root for as they duke it out?! Cuz his current one sure is an idiot.
Part of me wonders if the mirror personality is the serial killer the police are looking for, considering she/it has obviously killed before.

Maybe it's proximity oriented. The two parts can only get but so far away from each other, so good!stripper was passed out while bad!stripper cleaned up the bodies. Hmm, but that doesn't explain how she got the car. Delivery?

but the voicemail was a man.
Voicemail?

Yeah, I have to think the reflections are a psychological manifestation because that doesn't work with the crazy genetics. I think she's got a freaky-ass split personality, though.

Heh, yeah, I was wondering about that. I guess she ran out of time or something!

Oh, that's a good point! But I don't think so because Sylar sounded very obviously male in that message.
Voicemail?
The message on Papa Suresh's answering machine from Patient Zero.
Yes, the doctor and the neighbor listened to his dad's messages, where the voice said it was Silar, and the dad asked him not to call. Silar said the the dad had helped him discover his gifts, and he should be glad. The dad asked him not to call again.

Wasn't she wearing the same shirt when she left her son at her friends at first? I didn't think that she did.
proximity oriented
That would be interesting, but would make getting the car difficult.

didn't you see my handwave about delivery :)
Actually, I'm more inclined to think that the limitation is time.
that they were symbolizing her schizophrenia via the reflections.
That could be it. But then why was the mirror image covered in blood (not just her shirt, but her hands too) and good!stripper didn't have anything on her? To me, that points to their being two separate entities, which doesn't really hold water with the genetic-mutation theory, IMO. Also, there was that crazy bit where good!stripper was in the car at a streetlight, holding the video camera in her hand and wearing the white shirt, and then suddenly realized that she was parked in a parking lot, holding her phone and wearing a red shirt. I mean, I loved how that shot was done, but WTF?
And if she's killed before, her mirror self obviously cleaned up after herself enough to keep her in the dark, so why did she wake up this time to see the bodies?
