"Okay, so I'm technically a serial killer." *snerk* I wanted Sylar dead a season and a half ago, and I really, really do not care about his parentage, but I admit watching him try to cope with an obnoxious teenager he can't kill is kind of fun.
Go Claire! Yeah, you're trusting mysterious internet people and you have no larger strategy, but all your known allies are MIA and you're doing your best to help even though you could just sit tight and be safe. I approve. (And your rescuee put in a pretty decent showing, too.)
Ando is destiny! *laughs SO HARD* Every once in a while Ando gets to shine, and I love it so much. (And it's really notable here that he stops the wedding because he paid attention to a person while Hiro was looking at a paper. I should probably feel bad for Hiro, but...I don't.)
Oh, hey, it's Mandy! And she is responding to this situation like a sane person! ...okay, a sane person who doesn't actually believe in superpowers, but all the same it's nice to have someone walk in and go "you're doing WHAT??"
"Our powers are not for amusement." Sylar...probably actually believes that, doesn't he? Sylar as mentor figure is really kind of instantly hilarious. (I'm going to choose to believe that that's intentional.)
Aww, even sulky don't-wanna-be-a-sidekick Hiro instantly races to Ando's defense the minute he thinks Ando's in trouble. "Give me back my friend!" And I've been kind of losing patience with Hiro lately, but it's hard to resist him when he's that happy. Let's hope his epiphany gets him to refocus on the job and not himself.
Mandy, I am very disappointed in you. Yeah, Tracy killed someone in front of you. Specifically, she killed one of the people involved in abducting and illegally detaining her for no legitimate reason. Minimum, you should have insisted that she get a fair trial, but no, no, she scares you so it's okay if she's chained to a chair for the rest of her life. (All parallels completely unintentional, I'm sure.)
"I just can't lie to you anymore." Oh, go Claire and go Joyce! I have my doubts that this is going to work out (for one thing, doesn't this immediately put Claire on the abductee list?) but on an emotional level I really, really love Joyce trying to break the cycle. (And extra points for her immediately shooting down his argument that he was trying to defend Claire. That's always been his excuse, even as Claire has made it clearer and and clearer that she doesn't want to be defended in this way.)
Nathan, when your project requires you to abduct perfectly innocent people and work with guys who sacrifice their own men without blinking, it's a pretty good indication that you're on the wrong side. What the hell is with Nathan, anyway, and how did he get from "manufacture an army of superhumans" to "superhumans are all so dangerous that even ones I know to be totally well-intentioned must be kidnapped and imprisoned"? This is the weakest part of this storyline.
...oh, hey, Noah's been kidnapped by Matt and company, deja vu! And man, he has it coming even more this time. *kind of looking forward to next week*
