...and then Danko enters the bathroom and locks the door, and, with a mischievous grin, walks over to...himself, commenting, "It's fun being you." God, how stupid -- Sylar's behaving like a bored child taking this outrageous risk for no reason, not to mention he's watching Danko take a piss and commenting on a mole he apparently has in a naughty place, and what is the point of this character, my God? I will give Zeljko Ivanek credit for doing a damn good Sylar, though. It's going to be about the only bright spot of this new power, seeing the main cast do impressions of him. Danko agrees with me about the stupidity of Sylar's actions, and then Sylar turns into his true form as Danko yells that what they're doing isn't about him finding some clever way to kill Bennet. Sylar: "I'm not gonna kill him. I'm gonna destroy him." Well, should you come around to the idea of a suicide mission, no offense to Jack Coleman, because it pains me to say this, but I'll take that trade-off. Title card.
Angela calls Bennet from a pay phone (it's so cute the way those still exist on TV) and tells him she's had a dream, and asks if he knows about what happened at a place called Coyote Sands. He's only heard rumors, because for twenty years everyone he's asked has told him the same thing -- he should never ask again. That's not really a "rumor" so much as an "invitation to fuck off," but if he's trying to say the place is shrouded in mystery, fine. Frankly, though, if he's even heard of the place, I'm surprised he didn't go out there with a shovel himself at some point. Anyway, Angela tells Bennet that she and Peter are headed there now, and she spoke with Nathan (not to be pedantic, but how, exactly?) and he and Claire are going to meet them, and she wants Bennet there as well. Bennet, however, has "a few loose ends" to tie up, but when he tells her about "Sylar," Angela urgently orders him to get out while he can. Without hanging up, Bennet pushes his way back into the makeshift morgue -- but there are no bodies within, as they've been taken to the crematorium. Bennet gets this totally bug-eyed look on his face at this news, like of all the things that have happened on this show, the fact that corpses around there are burned on a regular basis is just the CRAZIEST, and he runs off, ignoring Angela's repeated entreaties to leave well enough alone. I mean, seriously, Bennet, you're supposed to be smart. Not only do you have the chance to take your wife and reunite her with your daughter, but a PRECOG is telling you in no uncertain terms not to pursue your current course of action. Don't be an idiot! Run!
