...and then we cut back to Claire, who appears to be waiting for a bus when Nathan joins her. After discussing her travel plans, she asks what time it is, but his watch is gone -- because he hocked it to get her necklace back. Aw. She's reluctantly happy, and allows him to refasten it around her neck. He tells her he's heading back to the States, and starts to walk off, but then invites her to join him, which, with a smile, she does. They walk off, arm in arm, as "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" kicks up...
...and then Bennet, Danko at his side, is opening a body bag containing Odo-as-Sylar, Danko's pointy knife buried in the back of his head. Bennet looks perplexed, and then a female blonde agent asks him if he's okay before zipping the bag back up...
...while Peter pauses a moment to look back at the image of Christ before Angela happily takes his hand and leads him out...
...and then the female agent joins Danko in his car, grabbing his cigarette away and tossing it out the window: "Those things'll kill you." So will he if you do that again, I'd reckon. Danko asks how zipping up the body bag felt, and in case you're not following along, she turns back into Sylar and replies, "Cathartic, poetic and tactically fortunate." Of course, he takes the air out of his own point by resuming his real form, and it also makes no sense for him to do so, considering they're still on the scene and it's broad daylight, but what the hell, at least the storyline's consistent in its stupidity. Sylar says it'll be easier for them to do whatever the hell they're going to do if people think he's dead, and Danko replies that if they succeed, he'll be the only one left. Sylar completely overacts, as usual these days: "Funny how that works." Oh yes, hilarious! Now go away.
Next time: The Petrellis do indeed reunite. About time.
