Or are they�
After the commercials, Claire comes running out to Peter. It's twelve minutes after eight, according to the clock. Oh, and Sylar's nowhere to be found. As Claire nears Peter, he suddenly comes to, although he's a bloody mess. Also? The cut on his temple and cheek greatly resemble the freaky "S" symbol without the hatch marks in the middle. Interesting. Peter's sputtering and spewing and Claire's stunned that someone else on the planet has her miraculous ability. Peter starts hilariously straightening out his various body parts as Claire watches. His cuts and scrapes all disappear. "How did you --" Claire begins, but Peter cuts her off, asking where Sylar is. She doesn't know. Peter tells her to go get the police and she runs off, saying she'll be back. She stops and asks him his name. "Peter," he says, gasping for air. "I'm Claire," she says, smiling. "Are you the one?" asks Peter. "By saving you, did I save the world?" "I don't know," she says. "I'm just a cheerleader." Aw. They really are kind of sweet together. I mean, as sweet as you can be when you're covered in blood and your limbs are all twisted.
Claire runs toward the football game and comes across her father. They embrace and he tells her that she's okay and Claire starts to tell him everything and that they have to go back for Peter. Bennet says that Peter will be fine and that the police will take care of everything. He tells her she's lucky to be alive and she says it's not luck. "I have something I have to tell you," she says.
Before we can learn what that something is, we catch up with Sylar, who's grunting and gruffing his way up a hill. Eden's calmly waiting for him. He starts to throw some superpower her way, but she just tells him that he doesn't want to hurt her. Suddenly, Sylar stops. "We just need to talk," she continues. "You can tell me all about yourself. But first, go to sleep." When she says "go to sleep," there's a weird echo to it that's a nice effect. "You need to sleep," she says, again with the weird echo. Sylar hesitates, and the Mindblower (a.k.a. "The Haitian") shows up and does something to Sylar's head and he drops like a stone.
