What is even happening?

c) the knowledge that Claire has powers and Bennet's dealings with the Haitian and his safehouses, etc.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, probably c & d.

And I guess that Eric Roberts (Can we call him the Master?) - is going to use Parkman to try to find out what Bennett knows.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

So how much do people think the Haitian is going to wipe?

a) the last seventeen years
b) a Claire-shaped hole in the last seventeen years
c) the knowledge that Claire has powers and Bennet's dealings with the >Haitian and his safehouses, etc.
d) the details of the escape plan

Personally, I think it would be great if it were e) Let's lobotomize the dude.

"Bennet! Where's Claire?"

"Gabba? Doo go fuh muh lala? Poopy-pants!"

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

To be really safe, Haitian Guy needs to remove the fact that Bennet loves his daughter. Not just that she's got powers, or that he's ever had a stray thought of betraying Evil Eric Roberts -- all the evil around him is constantly reminding him, "Don't get close to that daughter."

Bennet's plan was pretty much required by the fact that Evil now owns Greg Grunberg. Because, when your partner can read your thoughts, there goes any option of of harboring secret misgivings of any kind.

Evil does not seem terribly tolerant of "Well I am just feeling cranky today! So there!!" I suspect that this corporate policy is what drives the low-cost nature of Evil's retirement package. Sadly, Evil does not provide much in the way of a comprehensive mental-health program, which, if I were Evil, and were having the kind of recruitment trouble I imagine Evil must have, I would be looking for Blue Cross bids post-hastey.

For one thing, imagine if Haitian Guy is their only brains-cleaner! Who is going to clean up Greg Grunberg's brains, next time he accidentally stumbles on his own file? Evil needs a whole array of brains-cleaners, preferably ones with no personality and no Yahoo emails via which Morally Gray may contact them.

All is well that ends in pizza.

One wonders if they have learned much after studying all the Supers Heroes.

1) If Harry can use a dead man's eye to see him last few minutes of life, that pretty much takes the mystery out of most murders.

Yeah, but getting the eye would be a problem fairly often, I would think.

c) the knowledge that Claire has powers and Bennet's dealings with the Haitian and his safehouses, etc.
d) the details of the escape plan

He probably won’t make him forget about Claire, what’s the point, since CHUD (which is what I call Eric Roberts) knows. He probably took the escape plan, and any of the Haitian’s secrets.

Hey, I had a thought. Maybe the Haitian doesn’t suppress people’s powers, he makes them forget how to use them.

To be really safe, Haitian Guy needs to remove the fact that Bennet loves his daughter.

But that makes Claire vulnerable if he ever finds her again, or if she tries to find him. Clearly, she doesn’t know how to leave well enough alone.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

One wonders if they have learned much after studying all the Heroes

Really. Why would they *not* assume that Claude was standing right there, listening as they plan to kill him?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

For one thing, imagine if Haitian Guy is their only brains-cleaner! Who is going to clean up Greg Grunberg\'s brains, next time he accidentally stumbles on his own file? Evil needs a whole array of brains-cleaners, preferably ones with no personality and no Yahoo emails via which Morally Gray may contact them.

They\'ll just go back to what they did before the found Haitian Guy, i.e. kill him.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

aurelia, the episode is up on NBC.com. My tape cut off the last three minutes as well.

Man, the bit that got me was when Mrs. Bennet saw that Claire was alive, and she said, "Thank god. I prayed so hard." I have no idea why that clobbered me, but man. She is so amazing in what could have been a joke role.

Okay. Two dads enter, one dad leaves: Papa Winchester, or Papa Bennet? I am having a tough-as-hell time deciding.

The thought of a SPN/Heroes crossover just gave me a plot bunny that makes me wish I was a better writer.

I think I need to rewatch the ending, because I seem to have missed the idea that Papa Bennett was going to get some mindwipe action. Oh noes! But I love the fact that they so completely redeemed him and made me lurve him in one episode. Huge!

re: Hiro... I didn't have any indication that Papa Nakamura has any idea that Hiro has manifested powers. He may just think he's a little nutty.
