All the logic says I shouldn't be filled with glee at every episode.

Oh, Heroes.

Just to sum up what happened to women that weren't feudal Japan this week, and the lessons we can learn from them.

West's 'relationship' with Claire has involved:
- standing around her PE class when he didn't seem to have a business thereof her own.
- coming into the gym after PE class with even less reason to be there, apparently just to find her.
- spying on her in her own home.
- hassling her in class and trying to catch her out.
- refusing to take 'no' as meaning no about dating him.
- refusing to take 'no' as meaning no about meeting her parents.
- bringing up further physicality in a passive-aggressive way when she wasn't even thinking about it.

The 'smells like waffles' text was as creepy as flying outside her window. Inviting himself into her home while she's in bed is an invasion of personal boundaries she had already put up.

The Niki wants to get rid of her power thing, though, had been an ongoing plot. Just because at that moment she was trying to escape Mr. Parkman, it doesn't mean that the general themethis season with her is that she wants rid of her strength, and it was only D.L. giving her support that let her use it in a positive way.

They could still have had her giving up her power as the only thing she thought she could do to get Matt's dad out of her brain, but approached it in the "I have learnt to live with this -by joining the company- and now it takes just as much strength to give it up to save myself/others".

Swordsmith's daughters rock however.
