Yup, whoever’s manifestation is occupying Gabriel Gray’s meatbag any given week. Beats trying to figure out who’s got occupancy at any given time. This week it was Nathan, previously was amnesia-Sylar (aka Puppy Sylar). When he was first wandering around the carnival he was having flashbacks to Nathan’s life, not his. Samuel asked him what was the first name that popped into his head, and he said ‘Nathan’, but he was in Sylar face. Thus Natgablar. I think the identity issue is resolving itself though (except we still have evil brain Sylar in the wind, creating more nomenclature challenges)

1. why did Hiro dump Mo into an asylum anyway?

2. If someone is in a straitjacket, how do they handle pottying needs? adult diapers?

3. am I really the first Doper to ask “was that a LEG???” upon seeing the Claire-as-frigid scene? Really???

4. and yeah - what happened to the foot? Maybe Claire stuck it against the stump and her magic recognized it needed to reattach vs. grow a new one.

The foot was still there, frozen.

Apparently it’s ok though, as long as your mum sends a note to say you won’t be coming into school this week.
