What power did he use to create the physical structure of the snow globe? Is there a glass-walls-creating power that I don't know about?

Did he actually create a snow globe around mom? It looked to me like it was just artsy camera work, with the camera shooting through one of the actual snow globes while Sylar filled the room with snow.

That's what I saw too.

What Jess and DX said.

Yes, that's why I was disappointed -- I was hoping that somehow he'd break the snowglobes and then use the glass to make a giant one that would encase his mother.

I'm not sure what Sylar was trying to do besides creep me the fuck out.

Ah. I thought Molly was the little girl Mohinder saved in the current episdode. So there was a Molly in an early episode?

I think Sylar was trying to show off his powers to his mother in a gentle non-threatening way that made her happy. Only Sylar was out of practice on the "gentle, non-threatening" thing.

Same girl -- she's the one Matt found hiding under the stairs in the pilot.

Sigh. Once more, from the top.

In episode two, Matt Parkman found Molly hiding in a closet after Sylar killed her parents. Shortly thereafter, Matt saved her again from Sylar. We then go a long time without hearing about her. Then Future!Hiro mentions her name in the, err, future, followed by Mohinder saving her life this episode.

Also, Lana's parents? Still dead.

Sorry. OK now I remember.
