The chapter after this one, Once Upon a Time in Texas, aside from a couple things it was actually pretty good. We see a little more from the first volume that's behind the scenes sort of.

Why did TPTB add a new character, the woman colleague of Noah's, when they could've picked one of the other women from season one? I would've like to know more about Hana or Eden.

What stood out most to me in this ep was of course Hiro and Sylar. Being a time-travelor/teleporter, and his hatred for Sylar, there's no way he would ask for his help. There are plenty of other options. Charlie's blood cleaned nicely without even a smear. I also don't see Sylar acting the way he did with Charlie in the dinner. He certainly could, but it seemed like before he was captured by The Company he was focused on getting new abilities, not finding out about the people who have them. Sylar also doesn't need the hand motions with his telekinesis, but it implied that here. Then there's the timeline that proceeded normally after Hiro's interferance, yeah right!

It's a relief to see in the entry above that the woman with Noah was new. I assumed we'd seen her before and I had totally forgotten her. It's good to know that I'm not as senile as I feared I was!

It was sweet to see Isaac again.
