I don’t think anyone will die next week I was actually kind of taken off guard when someone died tonight. They promise a death every week it seems, lol. I had read somewhere that the actual death wouldn’t take place until march. And Simone isn’t dead yet, so if someone dies next episode it could still be her! They love doing things like that on the show.

I can’t think of anyone who would make sense to die in the next episode. In the near future though I think Zach and Mommy are still likely, as is Claude Rains, Ted, and *maybe* Ando. I don’t think any of the main heroes are in any danger so far this season. I hope they don’t go the lost route and start killing of main characters just to prove the situation is grave. It’s much more interesting with super heroes to see them lose the people around them as they learn that even with powers they can’t save everyone. It’s a fundamental pillar of super hero story telling and much more interesting than watching the heroes themselves die. You save that for later when you need to bring in fresh blood!

Good point about Simone. Which character do you think’s dying next week. My guess, Claire’s Mom. They need a reason to have Claire run away from Odessa Texas and join up with some of the other HEROES… killing off Mommy Bennett is the ideal solution.

This was a fantastic EP. But I’m not sold that Simone is dead yet. We saw her shot and dying, but Peter is a Nurse and he can fly her to the hospital. She may also have powers of her own, though I doubt it. It’s a good bet that she’s dead, but TV Guide has hinted that the person “dying” will still be around on the show. I’m not ruling out her being alive, but if I had to place a bet I’d say she’s a goner.

As for Lyle (the other Bennet kid), I’m also wondering if he’ll end up with powers. So far he’s just been annoying. He was also missing for several episodes, though they do mention him. It’ll be interesting to see what they come up with if they do give him powers. He could easily become a bad guy, what with Dad playing favorites with Claire. That could be a very interesting story line.
