Ok, I'm really not buying the idea that Peter, Matt, and Mohinder are outwitting HRG. I mean...no. Really, no.
I also didn't see fear in Tracey when she iced the guy. It looked very deliberate to me, so it was either a bad acting decision or a bad character decision.
I like the idea of Sylar having a sidekick. It's a good outlet for his Daddy issues and gives him someone to talk to other than people he's about to kill (or vice versa). I'm not crazy about the actual sidekick himself yet, but he fills a good niche.
What I didn't get about the mickey in HRG's drink is who put it there? The bar was empty. The obvious answer is that the bartender was in cahoots, but she looked clueless when PM&M said that they were taking HRG home because he'd had a few too many (paraphrasing). Felt like sloppy writing to me.
Maybe Matt got inside her head and made her do it? I have no idea. Just the idea that those three could get the jump on Noah fracking Bennett is hilarious to me.
I loved Sylar's hero walk of extreme SWATTY sexiness with the sidekick over his shoulder. In slow-mo no less. If I wasn't supposed to get all squidgy and sighy over that...well...I did. But I'm a ho for that type of manipulation. I blame the Angel power walk for that on-going kink.
Oh, and I also think maybe if HRG wants to keep Claire from interferring, he should stop buying her cars.

I'm kind of surprised that people in the operation know about Claire's powers and yet haven't made her capture priority #1 over nathan's protests. Nevermind the medical implications of studying her condition, it seems to me that there are few abilities that present more of a threat to a governmental status quo than someone who can raise the frickin' dead and then tell the crowds of witnesses that she's been sent by God to tell them what He wants them to do.

Well, Claire's powers are purely defensive, so she's no danger, and they are counting on Bennett to keep her under control, so they can grab her whenever they want to. Nathan's argument is that people with powers are dangerous, and he can't support that with Claire.
Also, if you're rich and/or powerful, you don't have to play by the rules (or pay your taxes), remember?
Claire's powers don't make her dangerous on her own, but she IS the reason Sylar is now unkillable, which is as good an argument as any for keeping her locked up with the rest of them.
It's purely her luck that her bio and adoptive dads are the ones in charge of the project and don't want her in jail.
Maybe it's the freakiness of how straw-yellow her hair is now that make them too scared to take her down despite her Two Dads protests. (Otherwise, I'm quite liking this proactive, not-so-stupid Claire).
