Theme music starts up as Peter stands alone on a rooftop, looking at a picture of Nathan. He folds it up and puts it away, then slowly hovers up and flies quickly away. Samuel says, "Vanessa," as he tapes up a hole in a Vanessa drawing. He opens a drawer and puts it inside, where we see numerous other Vanessa drawings. Just so we don't think this storyline was added one episode ago or anything. Claire arrives home to her dorm room to find a note from Gretchen, who's studying late in the library. She checks her phone, and ignores her dad's call. She lies down on her bed, then the camera pans out of the room, where Sylar's sitting in a tree with a Claire tattoo on his arm. Which is gross and weird enough, but then he says, "Helloooo, cheerleader." Really, he said that. First of all, hasn't Claire not been a cheerleader for, like, three seasons? So, here's what I think: Sylar's whole impotence storyline has something to do with this. He thinks that Claire can heal him or whatever, and it's probably leading nowhere pretty. Which is obvious, because when Sylar's sitting in a tree staring at someone through a window as ominous music plays, it can't end well. Unfortunately, my TiVo cut off right after "To Be Continued..." so I can't tell you anything about the next episode.
