Is Mr. Bennett even going to know he was trying to help these people? Or will he be back to total company man.

My guess is that it might be worse than that. HRG told the Haitian to "go deep".

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Backstory! I knew Mr. Nakamura was involved! Wee Hiro! Eric Roberts! Glimpse of another female super! Shooting! Explosion! Another shooting!

t out of breath

Claire coming out of that exploding house, her charred face healing slowly -- talk about a hero shot. And that last scene of Bennet and Claire made me cry.

DAMN. Fucking GREAT episode.

I wonder who Claude was protecting.

Simone and/or her father maybe? (It's the same building.)

Claude spoke of evisceration: was the organization they worked for doing autopsies for research purposes, or were they just killing them straight out to eliminate "dangerous" people?

Claude actually said "vivisection," so a little of both, sort of like if Sylar was an organization instead of a lone wolf.

I knew Mr. Nakamura was involved!

And what the hell were they doing on that roof? That's Simone's father's building.

opps! xpost.

Shouldn't everyone who was in the house have radiation poisoning (except for maybe Claire)?

Mr. Bennett and Matt both had visible radiation burns,and should probably be grateful they've already done their child-fathering. On the bright side, with all the drama they may be killed by external forces before the cancer can get them.

DX, ooh, good call on Simone re: the promo for next week. And it would explain why he continued to hang out on that particular rooftop. (Why use that rooftop to begiin with? Just to clarify, that is the building Simone's dad lived in? Or the building Isaac's studio is in, or are they the same?)

Are promos fair game for discussion? I'll unspoiler-font if so: So if Claude was protecting Simone, perhaps he wanted to keep her away from Peter (he is the bomb, after all!) and not just cuz he's an ornery ole bastage. Or maybe he didn't know she'd manifested at all, and her dad'd had some power and it was he that Claude was hiding?

And, thanks for the clarification on "vivisected".

OMG! I totally didn't realize it was the same roof.

When I realized that Mr. Bennett was going to have the Haitian shoot him, I was thinking, "Man, HRG is hardcore," but then he tells the Haitian to "go deep" and Claire starts crying and I started crying too.

I can't imagine that next week's episode could POSSIBLY be as good.

Oh my. Wow! I don't know when I have seen such an interesting episode of television.

And now I have to go to sleep, but I anticipate complex scary dreams, with black & white segments.

Didn't see the promo. But really, I have enough to digest.

HSQ like Whoa!

I cried when HRG took the bullet. I LOVE THIS SHOW
