    • Goofs
      When Matt takes away Sylar's powers, he sees Sylar's memory of killing Charlie, but Hiro had changed history so that didn't happen. Sylar should have had no memory of it.
    • Quotes

      [Sylar has asked Parkman to take away his powers]

      Matt Parkman: How am I supposed to do that?

      Sylar: Create a mental block, repress them, I don't really care, to be honest. All I know is that once I'm free from the temptation of my ability...

      Matt Parkman: M-hm? You're gonna be normal? I'm sorry, that ship sailed, what, fifty murders ago?
