Yes, their hands touched briefly as the police shoved SyThan away from Mattlar. I think Sylar is back in his own body, but is currently still being controlled by Nathan's personality. I expect the battle between Sylar's and Nathan's consciousnesses to come to a head in the next two episodes.

I don't understand how Peter just stood there doing nothing. If I were him, I would have absorbed Matt's power before Sylar took over, then used it to help Matt drive him out to a nearby comatose/quadriplegic body. They are in a hospital after, with plenty of dying/disabled patients.

I don't know what to feel about Mohindrance's story. Again, we see his overzealous and stupid actions cause grief for many characters later in time. He made the "Cerebra" compass!!! And the whole thing about each mutant having an aura that intensifies their power if near other mutants is stupid. Of course, if their powers are not genetic but tied to a greater force in general (ie eclipse granting them powers), it's okay (similar to Rising Star comic series where if each Special died, the resulting energy released was distributed evenly to the others).

Tracy and Claire story was boring. And how the hell does a healing factor fight off being completely frozen? Shouldn't Tracy's power retard or suspend Claire's healing factor's power if not outright killing her? grrr

Next week's episode teases Ando lightning, hopefully being used to kill Hiro. heehee
