Oh, it would be SO rich if Real!Dad was Nathan, but since both of Claire's parents supposedly came into their powers some 14 years ago, probably not. I'll put a runty kitten on Linderman
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
that brief flash of the pink shirt of "Claire's dad" made me think of Nathan.
I'm not ruling Nathan out, although it infers that he knows a bit more than he's let on to date, which strikes me as odd, but it would add irony to Claire's instant bond with Peter and her "great, an uncle" quip this episode.

That would be funny.
It took me a couple minutes to realize Claire's mom lit her cigarette with her finger. Makes the "fire" she died in quite suspect. Also makes me wonder if Claire already had her powers as a baby, since she supposedly died in the fire. Truth or fiction on the part of HRG guy or her real parents? Or if her power only came into play originally when she was threatened with severe harm, but now she's got knowing control over it. Lots of questions! Very few answers.

Makes the \"fire\" she died in quite suspect.
I thought the same thing. It also occurs to me that someone who can make fire come out of their fingers may be immune to burns. If Claire already had her power at the time, then it would have been easy for both of them to survive any \"deadly\" fire.

What would Nathan have had to know? Couldn\'t it have been a random one night stand?

You can get into Mr. Bennet's files, but the username/password aren't working.
Oh, good, that's not just me. With the geekdom OR the non working password.

Not necessarily. Nathan could have been supressing/denying his powers, and they were only used when his life was in danger. He seemed to have a pretty good grasp on how to use his powers from the beginning, where the others had a bit of trial and error. Does anyone remember what he was wearing when he went to talk to Peter. I think the shirt was yellow, though.

Yeah, but that doesn't feel right, narratively speaking.

Considering in the preview, Mama Claire says into the phone "Our daughter just found me" tells me her real father knows she exists.

They may not have known that she survived. They probably suspected that she had some sort of powers, since they both did. The fire may have been set to get them away from HRG, but Claire accidentally got caught in it. Remember that HRG found Claire when he went to get her parents. Once the fire was out, she would have begun to heal, just like she began to heal when the stake was pulled out of her neck.
