...to a chamber that's set up like a hospital room, in which a medical type watches over a man in an ornate bed who's hooked up to all kinds of respiratory tubes. Maury tells the bed's occupant that the team is coming together, and from the focus on the man's eye, we're meant to know he's communicating telepathically. Maury goes on that he caused Nathan to see visions of Linderman, just like he asked. "Now he thinks he's doing God's work." I like this better than it being Linderman himself, but here's a question: Who healed Nathan, if Linderman wasn't actually there? Anyway, we see from the ring the man's wearing that he's Mama Petrelli's attacker as Maury goes on that they're building an army, and Knox reported he'd have Adam there by the next day. Maury wraps up by assuring the man everything's under control. "Whatever you say goes, Mr. Petrelli." That's right -- we get a good look at Papa Petrelli, alive and conscious, before the card comes up: "To be continued..." For the first time in a while, I'm happy that's the case!
