What I'm Watching: Heroes

Heroes: Season 2, Episode 3 "Kindred" (C)

First question: How the hell did Sylar survive that whole being stabbed thing and, more importantly, why is Candice helping him? It does seem that it is the same shapeshifter previously played by Missy Peregrym, who is presumably unavailable due to her role on the new show "Reaper". Remember when the future Sylar mentioned than he got his shapeshifting powers from a woman named Candice? Obviously Nathan is not likely to be making a run for the presidency any time soon, but some of the events are progressing as they did according to that other future. On the Claire front, at least she is initiating some human contact and not just whining about not being normal. And hooray for Peter - he gained the trust of his Irish buddies and got some action. If only Hiro could do the same back in time.
