Burning questions left over from last night’s Heroes

Last night’s episode was surprisingly good after the suckfest that was the previous week. But it left behind a number of burning questions (sorry, Meredith!)

Spoilers behind the cut involving skin care, heavy-handed political metaphor, and supercharged nothing…

Who are Sylar’s parents, then?* And how many sets will he go through before he’s done?

NOAH: Gabriel, I am your father.
SYLAR: Noooooooo!

How did being doused in the formula cure Mohinder rather than burn him to ash?

MOHINDER: This is Doctor Mohinder Suresh. Day Three of testing. When I analyze the chemical compound combined with these scales, the effect involves an exfoliant and subsequent moisturizer. Suggested tagline: Smoother skin in three days or your money back!

Speaking of Sylar, did he survive the Biomom Bomb? And how?

ANGELA: *sneaks away from Noah and Claire with a bloody shard of glass in her hand*

What happens when Powered Ando touches the other Heroes?

NATHAN: *dies immediately upon leaving the Earth’s atmosphere*
CLAIRE: Ah, I’m growing body parts I don’t need! Cut them off! Oh, but keep the third boob and second clitoris, would you?
PETER: I… I know kung fu. And Swahili. And…
MICAH: I know… everything.
MONICA: OMG, so do I.
MAYA: (… well, let’s just thank God Maya doesn’t have powers anymore.)
HAITIAN: *erases the memories of everyone, allowing the writers to retcon even more*
PILE OF ASH: *becomes Adam Monroe, gets up and lives again!*

What did Mohinder and Tracy talk about in the car?

MOHINDER: So. You nearly froze my arm off once.
TRACY: So. You nearly put me in spider webbing.
MOHINDER: …
TRACY: I guess that makes us both good at spinning.
MOHINDER: (groan)
TRACY: Awkward…

How did Nathan convince the President he’s not lying short of “coming out” to him re: his powers?

NATHAN: Sir, there are people, and they have superpowers.
PRESIDENT: Have you been talking to Dennis Kucinich again?

What are your burning questions?

(*Yes, I know the casting spoiler re: Sylar’s father. Don’t post it here, please.)

  1. Re: Sylar. Was chatting with someone online during the show last night, and we both came to the conclusions at about the same time that glass melts.

    Then again, I’m still wondering why Arthur Petrelli didn’t get up seconds after the Haitian left the room. Assuming Adam had the same weekness Claire and Sylar do, I don’t that bullet woulda done it.
