So we're at Nathan's funeral (no sign of his ex-wife or his sons, naturally) and there's that fabulously over-done, cliched shot of the 21-gun salute accompanied by someone being startled by it and a tear rolling from her eye. In this case, Claire. I'm really over that damn shot.
We flashback to a couple days ago when Bennet shows Nathan's body to Peter - his head has been cut off and sewn back on. So that's weird. Was it the only way they could show us 100% that he was dead? That seemed weird.
Everyone's all bitchy at Nathan's wake - Claire's bitchy with Bennet for making Fake!Nathan, Peter's pissed at Mommy for a host of reasons. Claire and Peter are in the kitchen bitching with each other when Claire cuts her finger accidentally. She feels pain - and it doesn't heal - because Peter has the Haitian's power. Right, that inconsistent power that I thought he needed to activate, but apparently he doesn't, thereby not-covering-up the holes from earlier.
Later, Peter goes back to listening to the police scanner and heads out to save a chick who has been shot by a disgruntled co-worker. Claire follows him and attends to the wounded woman while Peter fancies himself a hostage negotiator. He saves the day, but not without being shot first, and Claire not-so-quickly passes on her healing power.
Sylar swings by the Carnival to bitch at T Bag. He's here to feast on powers. Well T Bag shows him - by starting up a dirt storm that rips half of Sylar's face off! Again, that was cool. DO MORE COOL STUFF!
Naturally, Sylar reassembles himself and T Bag sends Tattoo Girl to bang Sylar and figure out what's up. So as they're making out, Tattoo Girl uses her power to determine... that Sylar is lonely and doesn't want to die alone. Haven't we been through that whole lonely thing before with him?
T Bag wants Sylar to join up with the Carnival so he can have a family, and they decide to let the tattoo decide. It's like a Magic 8 ball, only it allows Sylar the chance to be shirtless. The tattoo shows Claire, so Sylar's off to college.
Our old friend Edgar the Fast Mover is back for Bennet, but Bennet is somehow faster and tases his ass. Bennet brings Edgar to a restaurant's walk-in refrigerator (no really, he rented out the whole restaurant for that), because the cold slows him down and makes him easy to control/interrogate/torture. Edgar pretends to ally with Bennet to take down T Bag (CULT RAID!) but it's a trick and he gets away, with the raid plans. OK. So why did Bennet have to ruin that restaurant's business for the night?
I also like the fact that Claire went back to school (in Virginia, right?) and still had the woman's blood on her hands. In the age of swine flu, we really should be washing our hands more, Claire.

There was a quick shot of Heidi and the boys at the wake - but if you blinked you would have missed it.
And they didn't cut his head off, the stitches were from where Sylar slit his throat (though I'm not sure why they felt the need to stitch up a dead man).
And did Claire really still have blood on her hands back at school? *headslap* Though I did love the banter between her and Peter in the kitchen - it was nice to see her acting normal (Facebook, Daddy issues, whatnot).
