I broke history!

[gelasius]

And also... Right! So Nathan's beard, (that's the I'm utterly broken and have nothing left to live for now that my reason for existing is probably dead even though I know he can't die oh god the pain beard, for those of you playing the home game) can further be explained by the LACK OF PETER EMO HAIR IN THE EPISODE. See, the Petrelli family has a certain Emo Follicle Quota it must meet, and when Peter's memory was snipped along with his Flop Of Emo, obviously Nathan's face sprouted in empathy.

The love! The hairy emo love!

See how easy?
