...and then Nathan is thrown through a window into another room much like the one we just left, landing on a piano that gives a somewhat hilarious cacophonic groan in response. However, what ensues is no laughing matter, as Sylar, unceremoniously and without a word (I KNOW!) telekinetically slits Nathan's beautiful throat. Nathan gurgles a bit, falls to his knees, and dies, and after Sylar chuckles that Claire is going to be so mad at him, his face goes serious again, and he shifts into Nathan's current form (and outfit -- stupid power) and bails.
So Matt gets off the bus in D.C. to find Angela, who's all, "About time," because in the world she lives in, driving across the country only takes the better part of an afternoon. She babbles about Nathan and how he has to come with her, and he's like, Ixnay, I have to go blow some shit up, but she opines that having Nathan around will help them, and we're too close to the end for him to point out that as far as he's concerned, that's a joke and a half, so he settles for a beleaguered sigh.
Peter and Claire are about to split up when Bennet catches them, and after taking a moment to be sure she's not Sylar, Bennet asks Peter if he took Sylar's power, and Peter affirms that. They smile about that development, but moments later, some G-men appear and order them to freeze. Bennet tries to tell them about the President's life being in danger, to no avail, but when Claire walks forward and presses her forehead to the lead dude's gun all, "I dare you to shoot the new sassy bangs straight off my head," it looks like she's got his attention.
Upstairs, Matt and Angela run into the ONE GUY separating them from the scene of the supposed fight earlier, and Matt has no problem convincing him they're not the 'droids he's looking for, and then they're inside, with Matt valiantly trying to shield Angela from the sight of Nathan's corpse, and Angela pushing past him and letting out a couple of chilling, guttural shrieks before closing his eyes (that'll get you every time) and embracing him. She gasps that she doesn't understand, as Matt was supposed to save him, and Matt just looks guilty and uncomfortable for not having ponied up for Amtrak.
Adrian Pasdar does a pretty great Sylar walk into the hotel kitchen, where he witnesses the President's entourage hustling through. Liam heads over to greet him, and they shake hands before Sylar informs him his part in the story is just about done...
