its the bennet family, they're on there way to california, its noah bennet thinking about how he promised he'd be out of that line of work etc,

they have to make a pit stop every few states because of MR MUGGLES! (yes, and his input in this GN was fantastic, very funny as well)

noah overhears something about people turned inside out yada yada

he knows it was one of the people he's "tagged" was too dangerous but they didnt kill him, he can "crumple" things i think , but only when his fingertips touch it, noah outwits him in that regard, kills him witha baseball bat

its hilarious when he goes to do it and the wife goes "you have an obligation to your family!" and he's like "whaaa" and she points to mr muggles, he has to take mr muggles for a walk while killing, its hilarious, calls bob, tells him where the body's at

i thought the GN was super kick @$$

I liked this GN. It stayed true to the Bennet family (Mr. Muggles too!) and gave us a little more insight into Noah's state of mind.

What I don't get is how a person who can crush things with his fingertips can turn someone inside out...Did I miss something?

To be honest, they were kind of portraying this fella's power to be on the same level as the used to do with Niki's ability back in Season 1.

After all, back then, she was ripping folks in half, and basically being one bad mama. I'd have to say that the way they were describing his power of being able to crush things with his hands is quite similar to Niki's super strength. After all, we've not seen if that strength extends to her legs, or to her arms, or anything of that nature. All we've seen from her power is her fists, and the shown gore after her ability gets used. (All of which still seems to be something along the lines of getting ripped to pieces with her bare hands)

So that's my take.

I loved that we were able to get more insight into Noah's mind, and find out that he might have planned the whole trade-off scenario before Bob and Mohinder could think that far in advance.

Noah doesn't strike me as a guy who leaves much, if anything, to chance. I'd say that there are more wheels spinning behind wheels than we're currently seeing...

To be honest, I'd have to say that Noah probably had made his peace, and was willing to sacrifice everything he had in order to keep his family safe. After all, he's now going back to the company that he'd been trying to run from in order to keep them away from his family, so I could see him being willing to sacrifice his own life if it meant that his family could be saved, and kept away from the company's clutches.

Anyway, that's just my read.. Shocked
