Superheroes Superhigh. West joins Claire at the outdoor cafeteria tables for a completely useless conversation. For real: love Claire, love the show, but this entire side plot involving the cheerleading squad and QBBC is just wasted on me. I went out and got ice cream during this scene. It froze my back molars. And that STILL wasn't as painful and annoying as this stupid subplot. So, whatever, West asks why Claire's so down, and Claire says it's because she lied to her dad about making the team and now she hasn't made the team and doesn't that suck because her dad thinks that she's on the team and that's where she's spending all her time only she's not because she's making out with West while floating around the stars and blah blah hates lying to her daddy, bloo blee he doesn't want her dating, zing zang West ignores his parents' rules because he can fly and therefore that exempts him from all parental control, flick flack hey, why don't they show that bitch of a cheerleader who's boss by using their powers to totally fucking humiliate her in front of everyone and thereby garner Claire a spot on the team, honey bunny? Also? I don't care how good-looking West is; I still think he's kind of a slimeball.
Oh, for fuck's s--not Mexico AGAIN. God. GOD. Maya's still driving. Alejandro's still snoozing in the back seat. Sylar's still trying to win Maya's affections by creeping us all out from the passenger seat. If Zachary Quinto wasn't sporting a black wifebeater in this scene, I would totally be going to get some hot fudge and sprinkles for my Ben & Jerry, okay? So, yeah, Sylar attempts to ingratiate himself with Maya by telling her that she has a gift and it's awesome. She thinks that what she does is terrible because she kills people, even when she doesn't intend to. Sylar tells her that he used to be able to do all sorts of awesome things, but now he's just a useless hot guy with scary eyebrows. That's why he needs to go see Dr. Suresh -- so he can get his powers back. Maya's stunned that Sylar actually wants to be different. She spends so much time whining and moaning about her stupid black eye goop that she has no time left to think about how being different might be kind of cool. Sylar sidles over to her and tells her that being unique has its merits. He starts to kind of touch her hair, and it's pretty obvious that Maya would be totally into banging Sylar right there in the front seat. But then Alejandro wakes up and ruins everything with his surly over-protective attitude. Alejandro demands that Maya stop at the next gas station so that they can find a coyote to help them across the border, and that they should leave Sylar behind because Alejandro doesn't trust him. I really don't think a wild dog-wolf will be much help getting them into America, but okay, Alejandro. Maybe this is going to be his own personal Journey Of Natty Gann. Sylar clues into the fact that Alejandro's irritated and asks what's going on. Maya shows that her alliances are shifting when she immediately tells Sylar exactly what Alejandro wants to do. Maya thinks Sylar's a gift from God and that they should have faith in him. Alejandro thinks Maya's thinking with her vajayjay. Sylar thinks that as soon as Alejandro's not looking, Sylar's going to hit him in the head with another conveniently placed brick.
