Claire handles the talk pretty well. I can't remember if she feels betrayed later or not. I think things would have gone better if Noah/Claire had included Sandra/Lyle (because they find out anyway and they feel betrayed - keeping secrets from everyone isn't healthy). Noah obviously trusts her to not freak out and to obey him - it's a big deal to him, I'm sure

Matt, plopping down prescription pills for a possible druggie in an FBI facility.
I noticed that! And then he just leaves the whole bottle there, so Peter can read off Matt's personal information from the label and take as many pills as he wants all at once. Plus, Matt of the terrible headache now doesn't have his pills!
I like how neither Claire nor Peter are ever asked, "Hey, how did Sylar actually kill Jackie? What kind of murder weapon are we looking for?" It's just kind of the whole point of an interrogation. I guess their stories are "I didn't see it happen."
I swear Audrey isn't wearing a bra.
I wonder where Jessica got all these killing and tracking skills. I mean, I know 'she/they' worked as some kind of killer-for-hire.
I like the "chump versus love/making it work" conversation - quick, sweet, simple, memorable. And fairly true.
I like how many gestures and actions translate across different people with similar/exact abilities - Peter, Sylar, Samson, Arthur use the same gestures for TK; Hiro, Sylar, Isaac, Matt, Peter use the 'blink/close eyes' for painting the future.
I remember how totally shocked I was that the Haitian could speak! Either he's working for the Petrellis to maintain Claire's memories of her ability, or he has a conscience (but why pick Claire? I mean, I figure she would figure out her ability all over again even if he did wipe her mind. Why not have a conscience for everyone the Company tells him to assault?) I know he has a conscience, but as far as what it extends to is…well, it isn't explored or explained very well. He helps Claire on the down low, then tells Peter about Nathan's dead body.
I don't see the Haitian's behavior making sense unless a person steps outside of canon and starts to fabricate something that forces it to make sense. He says at one point, canon, that he works for a higher power and this is strongly implied to be Angela Petrelli (and possibly by extension the Company Founders). Again, you have to start drawing in a lot of dots and connecting them to make a picture. That's where I worked out my theory of infighting between the founders, who controlled the Company, who ran it day-to-day, the different goals of different Company factions and backers, etc

Yeah, it's very unexplained. It's like 'badass' is part of her ability.
