Something shifts in Sylar and he says, "You're broken." Brian's all, wah-huh? Sylar throws Suresh's book at him and says that the professor was right, it's all in the brain. "So you can help," says Brian. Well, that depends, Brian. He can help, I suppose, if by "help" you mean, "brains you with a big-ass piece of quartz." "Don't worry, Brian," says Sylar, picking up the quartz. "I can fix it. It's an evolutionary imperative." And then he brings the quartz down on Brian's head. Again, not really sure what Sylar's power is here. He can tell when things are broken and then he can fix them, right? So, how's he going to fix Brian if he'sâ¦dead?
Secret Lair of Hero Gatherers. Bennet is trying to convince Eden that whatever evil she's done in the past is over. She has a chance to start again and rewrite the past. But, if she's not interested, they can just put her back in her old life where she'd possibly be dead within a week. Somehow, I find this hard to believe. Also, what was she in her old life, a mobster? A drug dealer? As far as I can tell she forced people to do her bidding and then stole shit. Not really death-taunting, is it? Eden just asks Bennet what he wants her to do, and he outlines his plan to have her get close to Suresh and get Claire's name off his List of Heroes.
Speaking of Heroes, Sylar's now apparently one of them, because he's sitting at Suresh's place, staring at a glass on the table. It slowly and smoothly slides across the table, stopping at the end. And then it flings off and smashes against a wall. Sylar sheepishly apologizes about the glass, but it's clear that he quite enjoyed that. Suresh is floored. Soâ¦he dissected Brian's brain and figured out how it worked and then, in the process, rewired his OWN brain to work like Brian's? I'm not really sure how you do that without cutting open your own skull and playing doctor with your own gray matter. Maybe just by digging around in someone's brain Sylar can appropriate their powers. Iâ¦don't know. Again, MORE ANSWERS, FEWER QUESTIONS, PLEASE.
Sylar gets up and calmly apologizes for his behavior the other day. Suresh just takes it in stride, saying a man can do or say many things when angry. Sylar says that he feels he's different now; that he's been given a chance to start over. "A new life, a new identity, a new purpose," he says. Suresh says that he came halfway around the world looking for proof and he threw him out the door. He goes on to say that no one returns his phone calls anymore; they all think he's insane. Sylar doesn't. Because he's cornered the market on insanity, thanks. Sylar points at the people on the map and says that all of them are just waiting to be told that they're important. He knows they're waiting to unlock their true potential. "I can feel that," he says. "We'll find them together." For the first time, Suresh looks a little unsure of this guy. "We are the future," says Sylar.
