When we return, Sylar, sounding both fuzzy and manufactured, asks his dad why he's even bothering with this, as he thought he'd given up, and Samson, who's sharpening his tools, responds with a nonsensical speech about "fighting hard" and "risking it all," like there will be anything to risk once he's immortal, and adds that he'll try to change the world, just to see if he can. He holds a large knife up to Sylar's head, which seems silly given that we just saw he's telekinetic, but either way, he can't seem to go through with it, and the reason becomes clear when Sylar's Theme Ticking kicks up, and then Sylar smiles evilly and knocks him back with his mind. He removes the arrows and sneers that his dad's a hunter, and yet he didn't know that he was playing possum. He wraps Samson's tubes around his throat, reducing Samson to begging, saying he needs that power. Might have led with the nice approach, guy. I think it's a little late for it now. Samson adds that it won't kill Sylar if he takes it -- "you'll be fine," he croaks -- but Sylar expresses his thoughts succinctly for once: "But so will you." Heh. When you're planning to roam the earth for all eternity, you've got to be pretty selective about who you choose to be around you for that long. Sylar says he got his answers and now knows exactly what he needs to do, just so you know it's an episode of Heroes involving Sylar, and Samson then downgrades his request in asking that Sylar just kill him, but Sylar takes the now-stuffed rabbit and leaves him to be eaten up by the cancer. Between the choking and his condition, it must be tough for him to get any words out, but given that this is probably the last we'll see of John Glover, I would have loved to see him gasp, "You're out of the will!"
At Building 26, Danko is looking at a picture of Tracy when Nathan appears, executive order in hand, and triumphantly tells him that the President didn't need that much proof of Danko's wrongdoings after all. He tells Danko he's finished, and when Danko tries to tell him that getting rid of him will mean getting rid of the team, Nathan's unimpressed, inviting anyone who's not on board to leave now. No one takes the bait, which I'm sure Danko will remember later, so Danko asks Nathan if he's really willing to "reset" the entire operation just because of him, and Nathan is basically like, "Yes." Danko leaves with some words of warning, and then Nathan tells Bennet that the President is eager to meet Danko's replacement. He beckons Bennet out...
