I'm curious how much of the weirdness going on has been picked up by Janice.

Given that she runs out and gets Matt's Al-Anon sponsor, I think she's picked it up for sure. What she might have meant in telling Sylar-Matt, in front of the fire, that she wishes he was more like that, was that he'd been really weird lately and during the love-making he was at least acting decent and stable, or at least focused.

I'm actually glad that the cop is suspicious of Jeremy even though I happen to like the kid. There was a lot of stuff wrong with that crime scene.

Yes. And there may have been some good backstory to the situation that we didn't hear. I can imagine Jeremy killing a neighbor accidentally, getting accused by the neighbor's kid, threatened with their dog, Jeremy killing the dog, rumors flying around school, Jeremy killing a gerbil or something in Science class, Jeremy being confronted by another student at school, Jeremy killing them, Jeremy getting sent home by scared school administrators. The police coming round, but since there were always witnesses to the killings, and everyone insists Jeremy only touched people, there's no evidence for ... well, anything. But there's still dead folks. Jeremy's parents are frightened witless and try to enroll him in a prayer program/program for disturbed youth/etc. that just doesn't work, makes him feel shamed for being what he is. They argue, insisting that they'll just keep trying different 'programs' until they find one that can drive out the evil, so he thinks about it and kills them. Upset, angst-ridden, terrified, and full of self-loathing, he's there when Noah and Peter show up. But he feels that he's due for punishment and lets them kill him.

Anyway, it's yet another thing in this ep that I can imagine a good explanation for, but the episode fell down on providing it to us.

How does Noah know that there was an argument? Was there an off screen conversation that we weren't privy to?

Where the heck did he get that id so fast? Noah has to have connections still because I wouldn't want to try to get a crappy fake he bought in someone's garage past the police even some small town cops.

Exactly.

I love that when they try to kidnap them Claire kicks their asses

Yes! I liked that she was unafraid and competent!
