he blocked Sylar and he's one powerful mofo.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

It's a good thing they introduced Hana in this episode, otherwise I'd have lots more to complain about.
Did they demonstrate her having a power during the ep and I missed it, or is she still an unknown quantity?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't care a whit about sexual equality if it would keep Simone on the show. She's just there to be pretty and breathy and fought over. She has very little positive or dramatic agency on the show. Object of desire. Over that.
I wonder--can Peter only use powers he knows about? Suppose he stood next to someone by mistake--or, say, all of Sylar's other powers, ones he didn't use in their fight. Would be interesting in stressful situations.

Her wi-finess? That's how she was introduced in the teaser, IMing RadioWave without his computer being networked.

What is even happening?

She can hook into the internet without a computer.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
They showed her power during the teaser, and there's a lot more background on her in the minicomics.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You may have missed the scene right before the previouslies, where they introduced her. She goes by the codename Wireless because she can basically interface with the Wi-Fi. All the electronic information that's beaming back and forth via satellites? She can read it. And she can also send it.

Yep, totally did. Bastards! Why they gotta go putting new stuff BEFORE the previouslies? That's bass-ackwards.

Breaking the formula just reminded me of Supernatural with their THEN and NOW and how much it throws me when they just do a normal teaser without any previouslies. I like the previouslies, dammit.

It's a good thing they introduced Hana in this episode, otherwise I'd have lots more to complain about.
Oh, definitely. But: they introduced two women, they killed two women... it leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Out of curiosity, I counted up everyone I could think of to see how the actual numbers stacked up. Here's my count so far:
Women with powers: 4 living, 3 dead
Men with powers: 11 living, 2 dead
Non-powered women with major or recurring roles: 4 living, 3 dead
Non-powered men with major or recurring roles: 6 living, 3 dead
That list doesn't include people I considered to be simply collateral damage (several of Sylar's and Jessica's unnamed victims). Also, I'm counting Niki/Jessica as one person, but I suppose you could argue that she counts for two!
I thought he was there with Eden when she mind-whammied Sylar so that Sylar's abilities could be blocked first,
Oh yeah. Hm, okay, so it seems he does have all-purpose blocking powers -- which makes him a lot more formidable than I'd thought!
Also, if he couldn't block Peter's and Claude's abilities, why bring him to New York?
I guess I figured Bennet liked to have him around in order to clean up after himself quickly whenever necessary.
