It's night in Haiti as the sisters tearfully reunite, and how sad is it that I care about them more than most people on the show? The Haitian says he'll take them back to their parents, and Nathan thanks him for the sacrifice he made in killing his brother. When they're alone, Peter asks Nathan if he's okay, and Nathan basically apologizes to Peter for the nasty things he said last episode. You'd think this is where they make out, but Nathan's getting to the bad news, so he limits contact to a hand on Peter's shoulder as he says he's going back to Pinehearst -- while he'll forgive Arthur for what he did to them, he thinks his idea of giving people abilities is brilliant. And to be honest, one of the many, many problems this season is that no one's really been able to articulate what's wrong with Arthur's goal. Sure, he's cartoonish and evil and his means are abhorrent, but frankly, it seems to me that Primatech has done a lot worse things to the world than Pinehearst. Not, mind you, that Nathan's explanation to Peter for his new position makes even the slightest bit of sense, or that Nathan isn't demonstrating once again how incredibly, pathologically wishy-washy he is. Anyway, Nathan tosses Peter a flashlight and gives him the name of someone at the Embassy to call to get him home, and just like that, he flies up into the sky. Which is seriously cold, but it's Peter, so it's tempered with hilarity.

Mohinder reenters the lab at Pinehearst to find Arthur watching over Flint, who seems to be alive after all. Arthur tells him that the eclipse showed them all who they are -- "desperate, angry, and weak." Sure, we'll go with that. He asks Mohinder if he's ready to get back to work, and Mohinder, whose epidermal issues have spread to his face and neck, seethes, "Look at me. Where else could I go?" Arthur affably says they'll find a cure for his condition. "But that monster inside of you -- that's something you're gonna have to take care of all by yourself." Well, last episode he had himself webbed in place -- why not try that again?

Elle materializes (without Hiro transporting her? Lame) to find herself on a beach at night. Sylar is already there, and as she limps up to him, he asks about what Bennet said. She seems severely weakened from the blood loss as she denies that what Bennet said is true, but when they sit down, Sylar reaches his hand to her head, and she understandably flinches. She lets him through the second time, though, and they fall to the ground as he kisses her. He then clasps his hand in hers and tells her that he's been contemplating what she said about finding themselves free of parents and powers, and she smiles as she asks what about it he was thinking. His tone turns dark: "You were wrong." He goes on that nobody ever really changes, and when she plays the only card she has left in her hand by opining that he changed, he demurs, looking evil as he says that was temporary, "and then I got my powers back." Well, no -- first you learned to control your "hunger," then you learned that you could use empathy instead of your finger, then Elle goaded you into killing someone, then the stupid eclipse happened, THEN you got your powers back. Shit, why did I start remembering things again? He says he understands now that he's never going to change, and neither is she, "because we're both just damaged goods." She tells him he's hurting her, and the old Sylar is back: "I know." He raises his finger, and she closes her eyes, which I took to mean as submission -- it wouldn't shock me if after everything this season and in her weakened condition, she wants to die, and it would explain why she didn't try to repel him with that burst of energy like she did the last time. Of course, he's already got her power, so I don't think he's feeding his hunger here, just killing one of the best actors left on the show. Sigh. I mean, the whole plotline has been awful from soup to nuts, but they could have separated these two without killing off Elle. But I'm too close to the end to mourn...
