I couldn't stand the scene between those two in the previous two episodes.
I really, really hate when shows go "back in time" and try to create all these threads and strands to explain this and that and this and that.
IE: Elle and HRG being responsible for Sylar being Sylar, and Elle and Sylar basically being in love. Oh, and apparntly Claude, the invisible guy, was working for the agency 6 months before the first episode, but when he first shows up on the show he seems to be a huge outcast that's been living like he's living for years.
And speaking of HRG, where the fuck is he? He's the single biggest badass on the show, and he's, essentially, been written out for no reason other than it's turrned into the Petrelli Hour.
edit; and lol at everyone having their powers taken away from them in the next episode by the Solar Eclipse.
