...and right now I have only a couple of quick thoughts:
My OC's powers were made canon, yay! Also, it's an ability I really enjoy seeing Sylar have, which is rare. :-) His reactions this ep were pretty funny.
Nathan is making perfect sense these past few episodes, for the first time all season. My love is refueled. <3 <3 <3 Which isn't to say I agree with him, but I'm a fluffy headed pinko Swede. He's a manipulator, a politician and a military man. It figures he'd believe in the balance of power.

really great meta on the Haiti plot in the two eps before this one. I squeed at that, and I'm still squeeing. (Of course, those previous eps had French. Nathan, you need to speak more languages. I wrote you as knowing several, and since the show has already indulged my fic ideas once this ep... *g*)
Sandra is awesome even when she's in normal new-mom mode. :-) Seeing Tracy again was fun too, she's the first Ali Larter character I've liked. Other good points were Hiro and his mom, Daphne-Matt-Ando, and the Haitian. Putting it simply, this ep I actually enjoy-enjoyed, rather than trainwreck-enjoyed. If that's a trend for the future, I salute it.
