Poor, poor Matt.

Bears repeating.

That was beyond dumb.

I'm thinking Matt's not thinking to clearly right now.

Also, KRISTEN BELL!!!!! Will be on my TV again! Though she looks like she's going to have more of the attitude she had on her brief stint on DEADWOOD. Good.

I do not trust this kid. My current theory is that he's after HRG.

I'm assuming Mr. Bennett squirreled away money or has gotten his hands on some of the Company's money. The job may be more about looking normal.

Also interesting that the Nissan really is stolen, so even more likely that it was Claire's car.

It was. It had her high school bumper sticker.

Also, is it just me, or did Nathan say Matt's dad was named named "Hal"?

Isn't that Nikki's dad's name. Was that the same guy?

I think the one bit that broke me was when it was implied that Micah was trying to fix his cousin's dreams.

All I know is that when HRG and the Haitian go to Ukraine, we need to find out the Haitian's name. Even a fake name. Show that fool going through customs. Anything.

How did Sylar make it into the Mexican badlands from Lost island? Maybe the whole twins storyline is a giant illusion by Candace. That would kinda rock hard.

So Monca's power is Charlie's power, yes? Super memory/super fast acquisition of new knowledge?

I think it's similar, but instead of facts, she picks up muscle memory or an instinctive knowledge of how to do things. For example, she flowered that tomato without seeming to think about it.

Oh! One thing I just thought of. If Matt's dad was one of the original 12, what are the chances that Angela put two and two together about Detective Parkman?

He wasn't on an island. When the camera pulled back there was no water.

That may have been why she told him to stay out of it.

Monica's friend looked REALLY familiar. It may just be the passing resemblence to Hillary Swank, though.

Just a little joke (apparently not very funny) cause I said it looked like Lost's island last week. But seriously, how did he make it to the Mexican badlands becuase that forest did not look like Ole Mexico. And wasn't he all gutted from the skewer in the belly? Doubled over and couldn't hardly move? Now he's fine and it had only been two days according to poor, dead New Jersey dude? That's a far piece for someone who just had eight surgeries. He wasn't even limping anymore.

Yes, this! I was trying to figure out who she reminded me of, but I could barely concentrate with all the bad accents flying around. I want to like this storyline, but seriously y'all, the accents. They are bad!

Oh, cool reveal with Nightmare Guy being Matt's dad and one of the Twelve. Interesting that we couldn't really see Papa Petrelli's face in the photo very well -- I think he was turned away from the camera, and also kind of blurry -- so he's still basically an unknown quantity.

Gah, Molly, why would you agree to do that??? Her sudden change of heart seemed to come out of nowhere. I guess she overheard her daddies arguing, but still...

Wonder what Sylar's going to do with the twins. Kill one, kill both, or keep them around a little longer for observation? I'm not real attached to either one of them, although I have to say I don't see the pretty with the brother -- guess he's just not my type.

I kind of dig Repeat-O Girl's power. Who *wouldn't* want to be able to do everything they see on TV? So I guess, from her conversation with Micah, that she knows about his power already? It sounded like Nikki told her about it so she could keep an eye on him and keep him safe. I wondered if Nikki knew about the girl's power, but then it seemed like she was just discovering it for the first time herself.

Augh, Claire, that boy is NOT worth it! I got all excited when I thought she was gonna dump his ass. Sadly, though, I can totally understand why she's falling (so to speak) for him. It makes me sad that both she and her dad are lying to each other, but I really loved their scene together when she came home from her date. It's just so plain, how much he loves her and wants more than anything to protect her.

Also, I am DYING to know what Mama Petrelli's power is! Damn!

Isn't that Nikki's dad's name. Was that the same guy?

I don't remember what Nikki's dad's name was, but it's not the same actor. The guy who played Nikki's dad is an actor I recognized from L.A. Confidential -- I don't know the guy in the picture.

Monica's friend looked REALLY familiar.

I thought so too. Off to IMDB...
