Don't fall over when I say this, but some actual interesting things happened this episode. Not that it was all good. I'll start with the bad: Claire's lesbian girlfriend seems more and more like a crazy stalker, to the point that Claire accuses her of having something to do with Annie's murder/suicide. And then they kiss, so Claire chalks it all up to a crush. And, in actuality, it's a new character, Rebecca, who is Samuel's niece and has been intentionally causing mayhem for Claire and Gretchen. She also happens to be in the sorority that Claire and Gretchen pledge in this episode. All the carnie kids leave home to go to college and pledge a sorority, you know.
Our deaf girl still sees sounds as colors, and when Peter saves her from getting him by a bus, he picks up this "power," too. I have no idea how that explains Samuel giving him his compassy power thing, but whatever. [Since he just now lost his speed, I think we can assume the compass is not a power at this point, and just magic dust in Peter's skin. - Zach] The annoying part is that Peter's stuck with such a lame power, but the great part is how cute she and Peter are flirting together. Until he unwittingly insults her filing job, and then she's back to her weird, standoffish self again. Oh, and Dr. Ratched is also her mother. That's news. Peter's also trying to connect with Mama Petrelli, but all she's doing is spacing out worrying about Nathan. Er, Sylar-as-Nathan. You know who I mean. Just when Peter feels like he'll never make any human connections, Hiro shows up, teleported here covered in toner from last episode. And he collapses. Good thing he teleported right into the apartment of a paramedic who has a lame, useless power. Though deaf girl plays a cello and uses her power to ultimately rip a hole in her apartment wall. As if that's a good thing.
