Sylar will kill Peter... But then the well connected brother shall ask Linderman to heal Peter. BTW, healing is his power, as shown in the NBC video.

I worry more about Mohinder, was that at the end of the episode a dream?

Why would Peter need Linderman healing power to heal him when he has the ability to heal him self.

That was an idea I put out there back when "Homecoming" finished.

Peter's mind is able to control the powers, however, the toll on his body physically is something that isn't ready to deal with these abilities. Thus, whenever he's expending quite a bit of effort into manifesting multiple powers, he's going to have to draw the energy and willpower from his own body. Something it is unprepared for right now.

Think of it as someone who knows in their heart that they can do an "Ironman" Marathon.

Their first run, they don't even place, mainly because they've never trained, and never put their body through the rigors of the multiple disciplines.

Next time, they know some of what to expect, and they start to train themselves on how to overcome these obstacles.

As they keep running the race, the focus turns more to making faster transitions, and better use of energy. Conservation being the key to winning a long race.

This ties in with Peter as needing to learn how to ration his energy he's stored, and dole it out sparingly. Not just using a power or three at the same time because they're there. What good would his flight do inside an enclosed room? Not much..

What good would his TK do against someone with a dampening field? Nada. He needs to be smart, and think through what powers to use at what times in order to keep his mind and body from going into overdrive, and sending his body after the conflict into shock.

Training and control are still vitally needed for Peter.

I just finished watching this episode for the first time last night. I'm catching up on DVD so I can pick up the show this season. I did the same thing when LOST came out. I thought it was a cool twist that Mama P was in on the deal. Now I'm wondering if she has some power as well cause Claire's biological mother said, "Some family", like she knew of Nathan's ability as well. I'm sure I'll know more by end of season one. I'm going to watch episodes 19-22 tonight. Great show, can't believe I missed it when it first came out.
