Oh, Lord, that Sylar storyline is STILL going on, as he adopts the voice of an eager six-year-old in telling Samson that he fixes watches, and he took that up because he thought it would make his father happy. Samson points out that Sylar has a need for connection, but when he says that people will only disappoint you, Sylar asks if that's why he killed his wife and abandoned him. Samson says he doesn't even remember, as it didn't matter to him. "So few things do." Sylar then cuts himself while working on the rabbit, and when he heals in front of Samson, you can practically see the light bulb go off over his father's head. Sylar mentions the "cheerleader in California" from whence he got the ability, which I guess is leaving it open for Samson to track down Claire among the million other cheerleaders in the state, before snarking that he guesses that not everybody dies. Samson breathes that that only means Sylar's got that much longer to suffer before having a coughing fit and then sending Sylar for something taxidermy-related. However, once Sylar's across the room, Samson telekinetically sends a couple arrows into him, pinning him to the wall, and he smiles that it's amazing how the desire and hunger come right back. There are many words I would use to describe the return of the "hunger," but "amazing" is not one of them. Anyway, Samson does his little hypnotic bird-whistle or whatever, and Sylar's vision clouds into the commercial break. Wow, will the hopelessly boring and long-winded immortal guy get his head cut open? I can see why they chose this spot for an act break!
