Back at the bank, Peter/Jesse and Knox are having a semi-heart to heart. Knox tells Peter that it was Jesse's desire for revenge that kept him alive during their imprisonment, and Peter tries to convince Knox that tempting fate is just never a good idea. Knox baits Peter, asking him if he's excited to go back to his family and friends in Detroit. Peter nods, and then Knox reveals Jesse's family is from Vegas, and that he's got no friends. Instead of putting a hole through Peter's torso, Knox just flings Peter aside like a rag doll to the screams of the hostages, sending shards of mirror everywhere. So Knox gets more powerful when he smells/senses fear. Peter needs to fricking figure out what Jesse's power is. "Who the hell are you?" snarls Knox. Good question.
Sylar and Bennet pull up in a company car, dressed in complimentary suits. It's adorable, almost like Take Your Son to Work Day. Bennet explains that it's one big game to Mama P, and Sylar asks in response if Bennet's curious to see how it all plays out. Bennet, still displeased with this pairing, explains that he'll take care of the villains and hostages. Sylar accurately sums it up as a one-sided partnership and then launches into his best faux-Brooklyn/Jersey accent and convinces the cops that they're actually special agents (Andrew Hanson to the rescue! Hee, Hanson). Way to seed of doubt these cops. "We're gonna need some coffee - decaf!" barks Sylar. "And some pepperoni pizza!" Sylar's character just gets better and better. Good thing he can't die now.
I'm too old for this crap!
Villains Vault
Peter's being restrained by Knox, and he tries to explain that someone put him in Jesse's body. Knox asks why the hell would he follow them, since he had so many chances to bail. Peter, ever the naïve idiot in the present, tells them the absolute worst answer -- that he didn't want anyone to get hurt. Why didn't you just explain you had nowhere else to go, and that you wanted to get revenge on the guy who did it to you? Way to pump up a villain whose power depends on sensing fear. Even Flint's convinced that Peter's mildly retarded. "Now I know you're full of it - nobody's that heroic," scoffs Knox. "You really are a tard. Commence noogies and Indian rug burns!" Reverse psychology FAIL, Peter. Maybe a rousing game or two of bloody knuckles will teach you.
Berlin
The Haitian is inspecting the other half of the formula, given to him by a brunette with a British accent. Given recent events, he explains, Mama P decided to keep her half closer. The Haitain's got a giant old school magnifying glass to inspect the goods, and deems them worthy. Didn't anyone decide to scan the formula, just so they wouldn't lose it to mercenaries and unscrupulous villains? Hiro and Ando scurry up the stairs to more silent film piano music, and plot to get their Pikachu mitts on both halves of the formula. Although I think Ando is technically more of a Charmander, since he gets fireball powers in the future.
Outside the Bank
We get a touching exchange between Sylar and Bennet, as Bennet puts on a Kevlar jacket, which is absolutely useless against the villains. He knows it too, and even hands his gun to Sylar. Sylar's incredulous that Bennet would go on what's basically a suicide mission, and Bennet is amused that a "monster" cares about his well-being. Sylar and Bennet bicker back and forth about how Bennet thinks he's better than Sylar ("I am," asserts Bennet. Hee) and Sylar, showing more sincerity and control than we've seen in awhile, insists that he can help. He sounds just like Claire, but capable of helping. Bennet warns Sylar to stay put and steer clear of the buffet inside, and diffuse the hostages with his silver tongue. Clap your hands, this is getting good!
One thing a vest emblazoned with a giant POLICE patch does is intimidate, umkay?

Awesome again T.Vo. I was already laughing just reading the title. Anything that's associated with GOB never stops being funny.

Between this episode and the last one, seems like Mama Petrelli's powers are sluttiness and super fertility. The question now is who is Sylar's bio-daddy? Linderman??? Kato?? Matt's Dad? Are we eventually gonna see all of the heroes connected to each other through Mama P's womb?

Btw T.Vo, where I'm from, being in the marching band is cool - especially if you're the drum major or on the drumline. ;) The halftime shows are more popular than the games.
