...as outside, the Marine with the super-strength is just waking Nathan up, so either Sylar really got down to Primatech in a hurry, or Nathan's even more of a pussy than I thought. By the way, I didn't mention it last episode, but a reader emailed to tell me that the Marine ("Scott" is his name on the show) is played by Chad Faust, who was Kyle Baldwin on The 4400. I've never seen the show, but given the genre, I'm sure a lot of viewers recognized him. Anyway, Scott reports that none of the other Marines have been injected yet, as Tracy was concerned for Nathan's whereabouts, which I don't believe for a second, but whatever. Nathan orders Scott to stop Peter, but Scott doesn't get two steps before Knox grabs him from behind and snaps his neck. Guess his super-strength didn't reach his head, although if he's taking orders from Nathan that's hardly a surprise. Nathan's stunned that his experiment has failed, and Knox rubs it in that he's going to stand guard until Peter's destroyed the formula, which will presumably be permanent since the catalyst is gone forever. Nathan asks if Knox is really working for Peter, and Knox smiles: "Yeah. He's one of the good guys now." Amazing development, but I am rooting for Peter now, in as much as I root for anyone on this show. Who knew?

Daphne returns, and Ando's about to inject himself, but Matt has to pipe up with more objections. This time, however, he's got a point, that being that Ando has no idea what kind of power he's going to get from the Wheel of Fortune he's currently spinning. Daphne, however, suggests that the powers people get may stem from their own desires -- for example, Matt always wanted to know what other people thought about him, and she always wanted to run. I'd be interested to know, then, the psychological needs behind the powers of, say, Maya, except for the part where I totally, totally wouldn't be, so let's just take this as a working theory. Anyway, Ando validates my faith in him by also ignoring Matt, instead injecting him with the shot and promptly falling over and out of frame.

So the pigeon is still hanging out, hilariously, as Hiro finally decides to shimmy down the flagpole (it slants down as you get closer to the building), turn himself around, and climb back up to the roof, like, I know that conversation with the pigeon was pressing and all, but I still don't appreciate you making Matt's assessment of your predicament correct. Also, if someone were coming to rescue him, wouldn't she (SPOILER) come back to the first moments he was on the flagpole, or better yet, to before Arthur showed up at all? As I said, time travel on this show makes no sense so they should really just drop it altogether. Anyway...
