> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > I wondered about that, but then figured it was because the writers didn’t want to have to keep track of more characters. Simplest solution usually the truth. Or something like that. > [@LawMonkey](#): > > what the hell happened to Sylar in the closet and the stuffed bunny on the table when Danko came in? Did we jump some time forwards/backwards or something? That put me far enough off balance that the rest of the episode made less sense than it might’ve otherwise–though the return of a character I’d not seen since S1 (Parkman’s wife) didn’t help anything. That’s serialized TV for you. I’m rather pleased that the writers assume that the audience doesn’t need a boatload of expository nattering to explain that the character named Parkman, last seen pregnant a year ago, is the mother of the infant named Parkman. As far as Sylar and Danko- guess he just wanted to see Danko’s reaction before sneaking out the window. Like a kitty bringing a dead bird home. The next day, he brought a live one home! ---

The next day, he brought a live one home! [Thank you](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=10967050#post10967050). I was wondering whterh anyone else got that vibe. Sylar is looking more like an evil Mohinder. He just latches onto the strongest father-figure… And then he kills them. ---

> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > Can someone remind me how Tracy knew who Micah was? Earlier in the Villains storyline, Tracey found out about Nikki through people pointing out her resemblance to her. Tracey went to the funeral home where Nikki’s body was laid out and Micah came in, saw her, and initially thought, ‘MOM??’ but then quickly realized that Tracey wasn’t his mom. ---

Only if they keep Daphne exposed to sunlight and if Golden Child “Touch and Go” stays pure, then he can touch her toes to revive her. But if they wait too long, her brain will decompose too far and she’ll be Miss Zombie Flash. ---

> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > So, did she meet at some funeral? They definitely met at some point early in the season - no one was making me watch this show before this season, and I saw them talking before. I hope they bring baby touch-and-go to Daphne and bring her back - she’s one of the characters I actually like. ---

Daphne was kind of annoying in the beginning but she really grew into a great character. ---
