Episode Report Card DeAnn Welker: B | 236 USERS: C+ YOU GRADE IT "What Would Bennet Do?"
By DeAnn Welker | Season 4 | Episode 9 | Aired on 2009.11.09
Sylon-in-Parkman is doodling at the Burnt Toast Diner as his Parkman-Sylon is telling him what he did: pushed Nathan's memories into Sylar's body and wiped his own memories out, keeping them in his brain accidentally or something. Parkman says he'd never done this before. Sylon-in-Parkman says, "Well that's just crazy." I think he's been reading the forums. He asks the waitress for the check, and then tells his Parkman-Sylon that he knows he didn't do this all on his own, and wonders who else was involved. He quickly guesses "Mama Petrelli" (him calling her that confirms that he has been reading the forums, or at least the internet), and wonders who else. Parkman says Bennet, and says everyone else thinks Sylar's dead. Sylon-in-Parkman says he's going to go find Nathan and get his body back. "Then. I'm going to kill every single person even remotely involved." Parkman-Sylon watches him leave. Which doesn't make sense, right? Shouldn't the Sylon be with the being, since it's really just something else in the same head? He turns to see the waitress and cook calling the cops as she's showing him Sylon-in-Parkman's doodles, which say, "I have a gun and am going to kill everyone in here."
Outside the Burnt Toast Diner, whose sign actually says "Burnt Toast Café Coffee Shop" for those nitpickers out there, Sylon-in-Parkman and his Parkman-Sylon are surrounded by the police. Sylon-in-Parkman wonders what Parkman-Sylon is doing, and he says he's crossing that line: "You told me I'm not man enough to take a life. Well, you know what, you're wrong. 'Cause I'm going to take yours." Sylon-in-Parkman says he's an idiot and will die with him. He says he knows, and then reaches for something inside his coat, forcing Sylon-in-Parkman to do the same. The cops shoot him about seven times, and he falls to the ground, dead. We know he's dead (or drunk) because the Parkman-Sylon disappears. Which means nothing on this show. But since we've all heard that a male character dies this season, I have to hope this is the one. Though I'm not holding my breath or anything.
