Claire gets to the cell, and after she discovers that the keypad's been ripped out, Meredith tells them she's not going to be able to hold out much longer, so Bennet instructs her to put as much heat as she can into her hands and press them to the glass, which she does. After he judges the glass has been sufficiently weakened, he tells Meredith to get out of the way and then puts his one bullet into the window -- but it doesn't shatter, instead making only a small hole. Meredith's despondent at what seemed like their only chance, but Claire gets An Idea and tells them to stay back before charging the glass and going straight through it. Er, if it were that easy, shouldn't Flint have been able to escape Unit 5 in a similar manner when he was a prisoner? I mean, sure, he might have impaled himself on a large shard in the process, but you figure it still might have been worth trying. Anyway, Bennet gets out of there, and you can hardly blame him given the temperature he's been enduring, but Claire lingers, trying to get Meredith to come with her. Meredith isn't quite ready for that, though, and tells her to go stop Sylar, so Claire tells her she'll be back. Meredith does not request she bring a hose back with her, but Claire's been pretty smart this episode so maybe she'll figure it out on her own. Speaking of which, though, if Sylar got the adrenaline from Primatech's stores, shouldn't they have something that should counter the effects? Serotonin, maybe? Hope Bennet doesn't kick himself in the ass for missing that one.
Back at Pinehearst, Tracy is telling Nathan that she has to get him out of there, as the situation is still "deniable" but one with which he can't afford to be associated. She adds that if they find the document with the formula, they can start over, like we didn't spend ALL LAST EPISODE ON THE CATAYLST WHICH IS NOW GONE PERMANENTLY HELLO. Instead of pointing this out, Nathan says he's not running away, and fires her for no reason in particular. He might as well have just killed her so we can get Ali Larter on to playing Barbara, no?
