Heroes

Peter tries to call Deaf Girl. Peter needs to learn what "deaf" means. He has his dream about her again, with the cello-playing and the people dying, and he thinks Sylar is trying to help. Naturally, he wants to track Sylar down.

I actually like Gretchen now because, while Claire wants to go off and save everyone at the Carnival, Gretchen's all, "I thought you wanted to be normal. Then go to class." BEST LINE EVER! Claire doesn't listen and takes off, in order to protect T Bag and the Carnival from her father.

She convinces T Bag to turn himself in so that everyone in the Carnival can be left alone and no one gets hurt. As he's starting to surrender, shooting breaks out, but it's not Bennet. It's a massacre! And it's kind of awesome. R.I.P. Tattoo Girl - now take your Sprint phone daughter with you.

Mike gets kudos for figuring it out (thereby putting him on the same intellectual level as a Heroes writer - congrats). Samuel had Multiple Man do the shooting to make it look like Bennet did the shooting so that the Carnival would want to kill Bennet, hate the outside world, and rally around Samuel.

Deaf Girl shows up just in time to administer some first aid. Bennet's girlfriend calls Tracy (I was wondering where she'd been) because she somehow thinks Tracy can help this whole situation.

Matt's wife has welcomed Sylar into the house for lunch. Sylar eats up the damn scenery, as always. Love him. Would love him even more if he had his own sitcom.

Sylar asks Matt to go in and repress Sylar's memories so he doesn't know he has powers. Um, that stuff never works. Why do they think it would work now? Good lord, does no one learn stuff on this show? Matt somehow has the ability to bury Sylar's powers - wow, his powers just keep changing, don't they? He also traps Sylar inside his own nightmare of loneliness and starts to brick him up in his basement - Cask of Amontillado-style. Look, that whole thing made no sense, but I like the idea of him being bricked into Matt's wall - in a house he shares with his damn family. Dumbest idea ever.

It lasts all of a minute though, until Peter shows up. He "goes inside" Sylar's head and gets trapped in his own lonely nightmare, on the streets of NYC alone. Okaaaay.
