Woe to the fucking wicked.

But, see, when we stopped he hadn't actually been wiped yet, and I think it may actually be interrupted before it happens.

I don't know where it would be practical to wipe from, given what the people around him know. And, did they re-wipe the family?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I don't know where it would be practical to wipe from, given what the people around him know. And, did they re-wipe the family?

I doubt HRG would allow Mrs. Bennett to be wiped again, given her condition, so I figure that The Haitian will wipe information that's immediately useful ... like their plans, maybe thing associated with where they're eplanning on going, etc., and leave it at that.

And then I think HRG and his new psychic friend Matt are going to go back to playing both sides against the middle.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'd like to see Claude's hand materialize around The Haitian's and Claude saying, "No."

t Who moment

Or maybe "Just this once, everybody lives!"

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, wiping all his memories of the last 17 years might be cleaner -- it's easier to explain away total amnesia (to yourself and to your family & friends) than selective amnesia, especially about your own daughter.

This was my initial reaction, and it is cleaner than the Claire-shaped hole, which was my second guess. And there's a line in the promo that MAY support that idea. I feel like it's the most hardcore option, and the scene felt REALLY hardcore.

P-C, I felt the same way about that scene. Although, I'll admit that "saving the person you love, at the cost of never being able to see them again" is my #1 bulletproof narrative kink, so I might have been looking for it where it wasn't intended.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hee

T'would be awesome.

But I think everyone making it out of that house alive was our "everybody lives" moment.

Indeed.

Our wings are not tired.

I doubt HRG would allow Mrs. Bennett to be wiped again

Really, how could he put us through that! It also makes it that much more heart wrenching that HRG asked him to go deep, knowing the damage it does.

Seriously still reeling at the awesomeness of that episode!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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

I think it's a combination of these two. what would be the point of completely mindwiping him of everything Claire related? unless, they're afraid that the bossman will have Matt read his mind and realize that HRG loved Claire and put two and two together about his mindwipe.

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

Kate, it's one of my kinks as well.

But I think everyone making it out of that house alive was our "everybody lives" moment.

I cried a little during the commercial because I was CERTAIN someone was going to die, and the tension had built up SO GREATLY that I had to release it.

you know, when he said Go Deep, I thought that he was referring to the Haitian hiding Claire, not in his mind. Interesting.
