Okay, this part was cool, I have to tell you, and is an example of what I was talking about earlier. Bennet, walking with a stiff gait unusual for him and not wearing his glasses, goes in to see Danko. As he closes the blinds in the office, Danko asks ""Bennet"" what's up, and Bennet adopts a very Sylar-like smug/playful expression as he replies, "Guess again." He goes on that he told Bennet's doorman that he forgot his key, and hands over a folder he says contains some old Primatech files of Bennet's. "Looks like he's been holding out on you." It's the Sylar-esque twisted smirk that really sells it, and Danko takes the file and gloats that he's not surprised. However, Bennet pulls a gun: "Are you surprised now?" Looks like Bennet's better at this than you thought, Danko! Yes, it's Bennet pretending to be Sylar-as-Bennet, and he gets Danko to hand over his gun as he comments that Sylar couldn't have gotten to the shapeshifter under his nose without his help. Well, I'm not sure about that, considering he can magically enter and exit locked cars without making a sound, but let's move on to where Bennet upbraids Danko for being stupid enough to enter into a partnership with Sylar, and then tells him he wants "Sylar on a platter," for which he might be willing to overlook "this pathetic little cry for help." Danko, beaten for the moment, confesses that Sylar's been going on assignment "as Agent Donner, leader of Team Six." Bennet notes that that particular team has been racking up "a lot of wins" lately, which is gross, and when Danko tells Bennet Sylar should be back in an hour, Bennet smiles: "I'll wait." He puts his glasses on for good measure: "And so will you." I take back what I said earlier -- I couldn't watch this show without Bennet.
Hiro babbles about true warriors to Matt, like, SHUT UP, but makes up for it when he leads him to Ando -- and his son. Hiro tells Matt that he can't give up, because his son needs him, and both Matt Parkmans are irresistibly adorable as the elder crows delightedly that he has a son and the younger makes his toy race cars merrily drive around the place. Yay for a happy moment on this show!
