Sylar: “I’ve killed a lot of people Elle. You’re much to blame for that as anyone maybe even more so.”
SPOILER ALERT!
Who is lil’ Noah’s mommy?
Answer? All signs point to Elle, the lightening zapper, played by Kristin Bell. Remember when Sylar killed Bob her father and Elle overgenerated and zapped Sylar into a coma [all while powering down Level 5 and releasing all the prisoners]?
It really bothered me when Sylar told Elle that she was as much to blame for his killing spree as he is. I always assumed that it meant that if she caught him sooner, innocents would be saved. Turns out there’s a backstory to their sordid past.
As most of us know by now, episode 8 is a flashback episode to the past. [I LOVE FLASHBACK EPISODES! Season 1’s Company Man was done so well using on HRG, Claire and pivotal characters.] We will finally see how certain characters become who they are and what got them to finally tick.
EW gives us a glimpse into the past:
“The scene: a cozy New York apartment on the L.A. set ofHeroes in August, where an ordinary man trying very hard not to become an extraordinary monster pops the cork on a champagne bottle. ”The ziti smells terrific!” says Gabriel Gray (Zachary Quinto), calling out to the woman who’s minutes away from damning him to his predestined future as a brain-mutilating serial killer. Her name is Elle (Kristen Bell), and not only does she emerge from the kitchen sporting a Betty Crocker smile and holding the aforementioned Italian casserole, she also promises him a tasty side dish — in the form of a scruffy dinner guest who possesses a secret power. ”He’s special too,” she coos.”
AHHHH! Is Elle “feeding” Sylar with Specials? Did she trigger his hunger? Did Arthur Petrelli assign Elle to Sylar like the Company assigned Eden to Mohinder (Season 1). Is everyone and everything a pawn in the Elder Heroes plan?
More so, did Elle fall for her assignment and had a baby with him? or was THAT planned as well?
So many questions. See you all November 10th!
On a side note: since it’s a flashback episode, Peter’s emo bang will make an appearance! YATTA!!
