Sylar's eatin' an apple and fiddling with the radio when Bennet snaps it off: "Just... sit." Sylar doesn't respond "Okay, Dad," which I only recommend in his case because he's immortal. Bennet tells Sylar that this was all Mama Petrelli's idea, and he would have left Sylar to rot. Sylar tells him that rehabilitation doesn't happen overnight, and he is trying, which is kind of evidenced by the fact that Bennet is, you know, STILL ALIVE. Bennet, however, feigns a gentle tone and says he understands. "Killing is just in your nature." If among Sylar's many purloined powers is an Irony Detector, it should be going off just about now. (By the way, you really need to read Jack Coleman's blog about filming this scene -- it's hilarious.)
Canfield shakily gets to his feet as Claire keeps the taser on him and tells him she's bringing him back to Level 5. I don't mean to denigrate her efforts, but... how is she going to do that, logistically? Does she have restraints of any kind with her? Or is she just going to make him drive? Anyway, these fascinating questions are rendered moot, as after Canfield tells her he just made one mistake and for that got locked away for two years without even getting to say goodbye to his family, he opens a vortex and sucks the taser into oblivion. Claire's face: "Whoops!"
