Testimonials

Ghostface Killa Linderman is playing chess with Nathan (I'm convinced Linderman is a ghost or a projection, a la Star Wars) in his hospital room. Linderman tells Nathan that he made the right choice to accept the senate seat. Nathan protests that this time things are better, that he's the one in control. Ha! Linderman just smiles that creepy old man smile. I mentally place a monocle and top hat on Linderman to make the heebie-jeebies go away. There, he's like Mr. Peanut.

A nurse steps into the doorway and asks, "You're playing yourself?" Who wrote this script, M. Night Shyamalan? Yes, Linderman's dead/not-dead. Nathan sees dead people. Everybody is crazypants. And dead. Or soon-to-be dead.

Well would it kill you to leave me an InStyle or something?

"No one can see me, except you," says Linderman. "Now, whose turn was it again?" Oh snap. Nathan is trying to process this, while the nurse is creeped out by Nathan's tribute to A Beautiful Mind.

Back at Casa de Bennet

Bennet's telling Claire about the good fellows he was locked up with at The Company. There's someone named Knox, a flame thrower, and a dude named The German, and a guy named Jesse Murphy who does unmentionable, unspeakable things. In short, they are evil and could destroy us all. Well, I bet they could've been shaped for good but since The Company got a hold of them and locked them up for so long, they're just pissed at the world and want to see it burn now. Good job, people. Before Claire was born, Bennet would find out about these people and would lock them away. He's convinced they will kill and terrorize and conspire and cause unimaginable destruction to the world. Ah, moral ambiguity and mixed intentions can get a TV series so far. He alludes to their files, which Sylar now possesses.

Bennet calls these characters Villains, and mentions that he is one of the few people capable of stopping them. Claire, of course, wants to accompany Daddy on his mission. "I helped save New York City, totally! When you couldn't do it, old man!"

Bennet, probably remembering his good ol' friend Bob (even though his daughter can't die), is protective of Claire's mental and emotional state. He refuses to let her come along, but we all know that's the wrong choice since she already feels like a powerless victim. Nice thought in theory, but Claire could totally help you, Pops. Claire needs to feel that she can do something (again, read Harry Potter and this will all make sense). In short, Claire is Harry Potter minus the forehead scar, Sylar is Voldemort and Bennet is Dumbledore.

And yes, this is Snape.

The Company Cell

Future Peter is shocked to see Sylar back in the cell, restrained. Mama P asks Peter what the hell is going on, and where Present Day Peter is. Future Peter's freaking out over where one of the prisoners went, and can't believe he's gone. Well, silly, he escaped. Thank the butterfly effect for providing an explanation for all present and future plot holes!

"I put him in the body of the guy in that cell. I put him in Jesse," reveals Future Peter. Wow. So Future Peter has the ability to make someone share a body now? Creepy. Also, Present Day Peter looks like a New Jersey Guido / Super Mario. That's every boy's dream! Mama P is PISSED, and snarls that Future Peter needs to bring him back ASAP and while he's at it, can go to hell. Looks like the prisoner was telling the truth the entire time. The Company really should get some Veritaserum on lockdown. Or at least bring in Jack Bauer.

Meanwhile, at some nearby gas station, the newly-liberated villains are celebrating. And by "celebrating," I mean raping and pillaging. If there's one thing we've learned from this show, it's that just because people are doing awful things, it doesn't mean they're devoid of compassion. However, Knox and the Flame Thrower and The German (I'll get them right, eventually) are just getting their sadistic jollies on, beating up innocents and torching women. "We're just having a little fun," they tell Present Peter-trapped-in-Jesse.

Cut to a close-up of a woman's body scorched on the ground. The villains nab a van as their getaway vehicle and we get a neat mirror view where Peter sees himself in the reflection of the window's glass but everyone else sees Jesse.

I can't wait til I'm tall and thin with a full head of hair again.
