I find it strange that they decided to cast Bennet in a different light this episode. From the cold, calculated person that would memory wipe his wife to the caring father that was only trying to shelter the surrogate daughter he grew to love.

I think Bennet's been conflicted about his job for quite some time now, as he has known about Claire and has been hiding her from The Organization.

It seems he has developed feelings that he never knew he would have before he was forced to adopt her, and those paternal feelings have come into conflict with his original younger self's dedication to the organization.

We've seen him waver back and forth between good and evil for quite a few episodes now. I love the way his character has developed and changed.

I wonder how much of and/or what memories (if any? who knows?) the Haitian took from him there at the end. It certainly allows the possibility of him forgetting enough of the past few weeks to start him back at square one again, more or less dedicated to the organization's goals.

I am just glad Mr. Muggles made it out of the house before Ted blew up.

Oh, and this was a great episode. I have been waiting for Claire to have to go out on her own away from her family all season. It will be interesting to see if they flesh the Haitian out more or just push him into the background again.

Awesome episode, but Eric Frakking Roberts?!.. Why don't they cast Ted McGinley and get it over with?

Yeah, the whole 80's collar thing, especially at the end when he showed up in the present day, was a little ridiculous.

I do have to say, Parkman joining the organization I did NOT see coming, and I'm extremely happy that his downward spiral appears to be over. At least I hope so, cause that's painful to watch.

Couple thoughts for the future: Haitian seems tailor made to slip back into the background. They've ignored the high school friend all episode, so I'm not sure he's coming back. Think she'll go to see Peter? Either way, I think her storyline is out of it for the next couple episodes.

Is Hiro really his dad's son? Or is he adopted like Claire? He was wandering around secret areas when he's old enough to remember, what does that say about his past? The organization, while it seems benign in vision, is pretty sinister to kill off agents who hide mutants (by their partners, no less). Mutants certainly seem to play a subordinate role in the organization.

With Sylar and Bennett's organization covered, Linderman is the only real unknown remaining to be addressed, and it looks like he's coming up next. Think he'll be related to the organization in some way?

I don't think Hiro's dad is 'the boss' (I think that's Linderman but who knows) but it adds a 'what-if' layer to the whole wanting Hiro to take over the 'family business'.

So are Hiro's sister and Lyle (Claire's brother) also Muties?

YES.

"That's Donald Sutherland's head!" I said to my wife.

One of those many quote situations you'd never consider yourself saying when you wake up in the morning...

Great episode.

Chance for Hiro's sister (although like I said, looks like Hiro might be adopted himself), I doubt Lyle is. Bennett said they were trying to conceive before adopting Claire, and I doubt they stopped.

One BIG question mark that keeps coming back to my mind is that the organization has shown several times that they have the ability to nullify powers. However it doesn't seem to be something that Bennett can control without extensive planning, and doesn't work all the time. How does that work?

They never explicitly said it was their head office, but seeing how so many important characters are involved to in some way to that rooftop I drew the conclusion that, if not their main office, it's certainly something important to them.

The one quirk I had about this episode is that after Claire sent Sprague to lala-land she just walked out of the front door, fried like a steak and went on to heal right in front of everyone. You'll notice neighbors were walking over there, understandably.

You know what made this episode great? No Nikki or Jessica

There was something in there that the Haitian said that was interesting, that he wasnt working for Bennet's organization's interests, but for Claire's interests. The exact way he worded it made me wonder if he was working for Nathan to protect Claire, which might sort of explain why Nathan was able to fly away when confronted by Mr Bennet and the Haitian in one of the early episodes.

edit: Though probably not directly for Nathan (since he didnt know of Claire), possibly Nathan's mother or father or somesuch.

Yeah, this to me was the most intriguing aspect of this great episode. We learned that Bennet's organization has had the Haitian since he was a young boy, yet during that entire time no one knew he could talk, talk about self-disicpline. Was he planted into Bennet's organization from the beginning or did he go off the reservation on his own?

I also think I heard the Haitian say something to the effect that he was answering/working with someone else who was of his kind. To me this implies yet another faction we will soon learn about, one that has a lot of knowledge about the current state of muties, and that is led by muties.

Something no-one's mentioned so far- considering that the episode's title was "Company Man" it may be a possibility that the Ominous Unnamed Organization either is or is a branch of the CIA.

It's been sort of implied (via his interaction with Matt, Sylar & Edan) that part of the Haitian's power involves being able to suppress powers and/or send them to sleep. Considering that repeated mindf*cking of Claire's mom gave her a brain embolism it's possible that the Haitian's power isn't memory removal so much as it is just messing with the physical structure of the brain, but that he uses it most often to precision strike the parts of the brain where specific memories are stored. If this is the case he would be able to affect any function of the brain, including suppressing powers.

When they had Syler in captivity and the Haitian wasn't around it just seemed like they kept him doped up enough that he couldn't concentrate on using his accumulated powers.

I think it had more to do with them having no idea Nathan could fly. I doubt it's just a passive suppression field, the Haitian probably has to try to do it.

Really good episode, though the almost exact rip off of the ending of X3 was a bit cheesy.

I'm curious to see, as the teaser showed, why Simone (black chick's name right?) isn't dead.

Also, very proud of the character arc for Mr. Bennett. Saved this show for me honestly. Well written, well played FTW.
