It's hard to tell if this story is finally coming together, or if it's all so confusing that it's tricked me into thinking it must be going somewhere by its going nowhere. I know that doesn't make sense, but stick with me. First of all, we have Peter and Emma, who spend their time in the hospital. He heals people, but it drains his power, so she plays doctor and then they play colorful music, he puts a tiara on her, and she pulls out her doctor jacket at the end. Someone's going to back to medical school. That ought to be exciting to watch.
Sylon-in-Matt and Matt-Sylon torment each other across the country as Matt-Sylon uses his mind control to make Sylon-in-Matt do stuff. It doesn't make sense since Matt-Sylon is a Sylon, but it ends up being cool only when Matt-Sylon finally causes Sylon-in-Matt to be shot. He's being rushed to a hospital in the end. Luckily, they're in Midland, Texas, so Peter can't possibly heal him, right? Well, if you buy that, I have a preview that might convince you otherwise.
Claire convinces her sorority sisters in the warehouse that they were drugged, then calls her dad, who has them Haitianed. Gretchen runs off, afraid, and the Haitian goes with her to keep her safe. But my theory is she'll be wiped time we see her. If there is a time. Samuel shows up -- because apparently he forgot about that whole going-back-eight-weeks-with-Hiro mission he was on last week -- and tries to convince Claire that Becky's just after revenge because HRG killed her dad and he has nothing to do with it. Then he tries to convince her that HRG's bad. She doesn't totally buy it, but by the end you can tell his message is sinking in. And, back at the carnival, we see that he was OF COURSE in on everything with Becky. Oh, and Sylar becomes Nathan again and leaves the carnival. He shows up with a hug for Peter at the end of the episode, apparently with Nathan's memories back.
