Heroes 1: We Could Be Heroes

This episode was made of awesome. I have to watch it again. Right the fuck now.
Molly, D.L. and Candace, and as Sylar exhibited two of their powers, it's clear that they were killed sometime after Future!Hiro got them to safety.
Putting aside the question of when Sylar got the ability to impersonate others, because that will totally make my head hurt, when futureHiro went to HRG he said he wanted the ones he had turned over. Based on the later conversation HRG had with Matt, I'm guessing HRG turned them over to Matt? Which is how Profit!Sylar got their powers?
ETA: Is it wrong that, while I totally want them to save New York and all, I really don't want to lose out on the possibility of a second season with scarred!badass!Peter?
Thank you Melpomene!

I'm assuming that they were some of the "dangerous ones" that Bennet told Matt about, and they got delivered to Pres. Sylar like lambs to the slaughter. We don't know anything about Molly Walker yet, right?
Until the Sylar reveal, I thought that that was Candace helping HRG, I guess I was wrong about that. Was she anyone we know?
My goodness that was a very enjoyable episode.
Eta: I know! Maybe if the only way to save NY is to have Nathan fly Peter somewhere else to explode the trauma of that will make him all badass and black duster clad...

I hope not.
though really, I could live with being wrong if it got me more scarred!badass!Peter.
I just went back and looked at the credits and I think it's Hana helping HRG. Which makes my brain hurt less since it means that Candace could've been killed by Sylar somewhere along the line.
Oh, I love this episode too much. I love this show.
But my eyes are all wiggly from the HSQ, okay, and probably more because of the codeine. So I'm going to sleep now, but I love this show.
Ah, I haven't seen Hana onscreen enough to recognise her. That would make sense as a place for her to be.
I caught the accent, otherwise I wasn't sure who it was either.
Thank you, Melpomene! Awesome preview. Squeeee!

That's Hana.
I'm so glad they made this episode
mean
something. It actually fits into the linear plot because it's how Hiro gets the comic pages and figured out how to save the damn world.
One thought occurs to me. Future!Sylar is obviously about to kill Future!Peter who has Hiro powers. So even if Present!Hiro does everything right, and the heroes manage to kill present!sylar and stop NY from blowing up, Future!Sylar can still come back and start screwing with them. Don't think it will happen this season, but that means the writers have an options for Future!Sylar to be the villain next season, now with extra added super-powers.
t On Edit
True to the comics spirit too. No villain is ever so dead they can't come back bigger, meaner and more dangerous.
Someone at TWoP has a good point about the Peter/Sylar face-off. Since they both have Claire's regenerating powers now, that could be one long assed fight.
So even if Present!Hiro does everything right, and the heroes manage to kill present!sylar and stop NY from blowing up, Future!Sylar can still come back and start screwing with them.
But if they kill present!Sylar, doesn't future!Sylar cease to exist? His future self would have to come back before they kill his present self and stop them, no?
I remember this headache. I used to call it McFly.
