She really reminded me of Gaius Helen Mohiam in that scene.  "Get
out of my head!"  Yeah, I'd like to gom jabbar her.

I noticed about halfway through the end of last season that every
time she put her hands on Nathan he'd start parroting her BS, and
that Peter and/or Claire were able to knock him out of it but
Heidi never was.

Molly's parents were eaten by Sylar, whom I kind of love despite
his despicable habits.  TPTB keep insisting that he had a
perfectly normal upbringing, but his mother creeps me out as much
as Angela and Bobbi Stakowski do and nobody who has had a normal
childhood writes "Father forgive me for I have sinned" on the
wall 8000 times.

The rest of them I'll grant you.

I think if Heidi had done that Nathan would be less broke up
about it.  I also think that Janice has always been too much of a
b*tch to have left at Matt's behest, although the company could
well have engineered it.  Janice had one foot outside the door
when the show STARTED.

But that does lend credence to the Angela made Heidi do it
theory.
