Ah Hah Anu! You spotted my other post! Kudos and what-not! :)
The rabbit hole goes deeper...
I think that there are several theories here that are working together (Sylar still being in the 'matrix' of Candice, Ando being hand-picked to befriend Hiro,etc...). However the most interesting thing that I saw in the episode and I'm not sure if anyone else did- was D.L. He was alive!! We see a black figure in the background while Niki is talking on the phone and talking about how she's gonna 'put this right'.
I think that Niki's 'mission' that she has to go on this season- to revive/resurrect DL. On a side note, I find it ironic that the only person we've seen that has the power to heal DL's NEARLY fatal injuries, is the one that DL killed- Linderman. This phone call that she makes, to me, means that Niki has found someone else with the power to heal, or found a 'friend of a freind' that can heal. Either way, they will (in order to support my theory) be a good guy and heal DL. Stay with me.
Nathan can fly and gets to make decisions with his power, the same thing goes for West. Claire can regenerate, so can Kensei. Peter absorbs powers, so does Sylar. -My point is that there have been several characters in the series that have an 'alter-ego' (you could easily lump Niki/Jessica into this), or a bizarro self- and one is usually good, while the other is usually evil. This provides a very striking look at the duality that Mohinder has been leading on about, and the feeling that Claire and others have been alluding to the entire time. Claire wants to be something else all the time, Nathan never 'approved' of his own power, Peter's taking on a new life to escape his old past and create a dual personna, or even the duality between Maya's crying inflicting suffering on others instead of sympathy. And speaking of Maya and her brother, they are the strongest reference (outside of Niki/Jessica) that there is an overwhelming presense of duality in the show!
That's all I know for now. Anu, I await your thoughts.
