That was just perfect, Trudy. No angsty dialogue, no need to show him swooping in, it was all just there with them hovering behind the tree, it told you everything.
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

I thought Matt assumed the baby wasn't his because it might not be his, or b/c his wife-at-the-time thought it wasn't his or whatever but it wasn't definitive one way or the other. But it's not like I have good memory for continuity detail.
Hiro and Ando were in India stopping the wedding (which Hiro was able to do w/o powers, so I don't think hes' gotten them back (at least conciously)) when they got the fax that said to save Matt Parkman at that address. FWTW.
I liked Clire not being able to handle the flight or invisibility question. Peter was using the invisibility a lot when they first met, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And what the hell was that for, in the end? Hiro doesn't seem much different.

I can't make it make sense.

Hiro needed to know he was still a hero even without his powers? Get his confidence back?

I think that was it -- the heart of a hero/Hiro

I need to see the change, though. He's had that sort of thing before, hasn't he?

He was told (and seemed to understand it) that he relied on his powers too much before he lost them. The whole regression business makes me throw up my hands in despair, though, so if it's undoing that I guess it's good.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It also parallels Claire's "what kind of hero are you?" plotline in this episode (which, I hope, will have somewhat longer consequences, because the whole getting a cover job thing seemed supremely pointless if it's done now. Claire's Comic-store Hero Underground Railroad could have been very cool.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I watched the episode again with some friends, and I think Nathan is either working closely with Rebel, or vice-versa. His reaction after Rebel saved Parkman was sort of knowing, he emphasized the word HOPE to Tracy after Rebel had just used the same word, and he was able to save Claire after Rebel alerted her that her free pass was up. It seemed like a really strong, deliberate connection.
