-| The dead man in the [[:Image:Painting eight of eight.jpg|8th painting]] is ''not'' [[Noah Bennet]]. || None ||
-[[Image:Lindermans archives president.jpg|thumb|center]] {{plus}} Other paintings have shown the results of [[Illusion|illusions]], ''e.g.'' ''The President Stands Alone'' turned out to be [[Sylar (future)|Sylar]], masquerading as [[Nathan]]. <br> {{plus}} It could be that Noah's father is still alive and is the one shown dead in 8/8.
-:{{note}} Noah's father may have been a member of the [[group of twelve]].<br>{{minus}}The only two shown with glasses in the [[Group of Twelve]] are known to be [[Mr. Petrelli]] and [[Bob]].<br> {{note}} It can also be someone who didn't wear glasses at the time the picture was taken but wears glasses now.<br>{{plus}} The man in the painting appears to be wearing plaid. Mr. Bennet seems like the kind of man who wouldn't be caught dead in plaid. So to speak.
-{{plus}}Future events painted by Isaac have been prevented, ''e.g.'' [[:Image:Painting the explosion.jpg|the bomb did not go off in the middle of New York City]] in our current [[timeline]]. (''[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]'').<br>{{plus}}Isaac could have altered the painting after he initially painted it.<br>{{plus}}The painting could depict events in someone's nightmare, as induced by [[Maury Parkman]].<br>
-:{{minus}} [[Isaac Mendez|Isaac]]'s paintings always seem to be of a general future; one that more than one person might or might not be able to witness. Maury Parkman's nightmares are visible only to the person experiencing them, as evidenced by ''[[Fight or Flight]]''.
-|-
-| The painting portraying Noah's death is a fake planted by the [[Company]]. || None || {{plus}} It is very convenient that this was the only painting left for Mohinder to find. <br>{{note}} This implies that the Company knows about Noah and Mohinder's alliance. <br>
-|-
-| The [[:Image:Painting eight of eight.jpg|8th painting]] does not actually picture [[Claire]]. || None || {{plus}} Lack of facial detail caused confusion of which cheerleader was murdered on the part of [[Peter]] and [[Noah|HRG]]. <br> {{plus}} The painting could depict any of a number of other blonde characters.
-|-
-| The figure embracing Claire in the picture is [[West]]. || None. || {{plus}} West is currently in a romantic relationship with Claire. <br> {{plus}} If the dead body depicted is indeed Noah Bennet, West is a likely suspect in the murder: West was once "bagged and tagged" by Noah when the latter worked at the Company, and may want revenge. The picture may be depicting the immediate aftermath of Noah's death. <br> {{minus}} The blonde girl in the picture may not be Claire, and it is unlikely that, if West were present, he would be embracing someone else.<br>{{plus}} The two people kissing in painting 8/8 are not the same height.  West has to bend his knees to kiss the girl.
-|-
-| [[Jessica]] is the blonde girl in the painting of Noah's death. [[Mohinder]] is the shadowy character, and is also the one who killed Noah. || None. || {{plus}} Mohinder is becoming increasingly unwilling to follow the will of Mr. Bennet, as evidenced in ''[[The Line]]''. <br> {{plus}} Painting 7/8 in the [[series of eight]] depicts Mohinder holding a smoking gun. (''[[The Line]]'') In painting 8/8, Mr. Bennet is obviously dead due to a gunshot wound in his eye. <br> {{note}} The person who Mohinder believes to be Niki at the end of ''[[The Line]]'' might actually be Jessica, as Niki/Jessica's sudden recovery, employment by [[the Company]], and coming on to Mohinder seems uncharacteristic of Niki.<br>
-:{{plus}} Niki/Jessica is wearing the same black outfit that Jessica is seen wearing previously in the series.
-:{{plus}} Jessica has shown that she is capable of using her sex appeal to manipulate others. She could manipulate Mohinder into killing Noah.<br>
-{{plus}} Niki/Jessica claims that she is working for [[the Company]] now. (''[[The Line]]'') Since Noah is working to bring down [[the Company]], Niki/Jessica would want him eliminated.<br>
-{{plus}} The silhouetted person in painting 8/8 is slightly taller than the blonde girl, as he has to bend slightly to kiss her. Mohinder is slightly taller than Jessica, as evidenced by comparing [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]]'s and [[Ali Larter]]'s heights in [[:Image:Unaired episode.jpg|this photo]].<br>
-|-
-|The shadowy figure holding [[Claire]] in the [[:Image:Painting eight of eight.jpg|8th painting]] is [[Sylar]], after having regained full use of his abilities including [[Candice]]'s power of [[Illusion]]. The painting shows another attempt by Sylar to steal [[Claire]]'s [[regeneration|ability]] through an elaborate illusion, perhaps making her believe that Sylar had disguised himself as her father and is now neutralized. || None. || {{plus}} As seen in ''[[Five Years Gone]]'' Sylar highly values Claire's power of regeneration and has been shown to use illusions in order to steal her ability. <br> {{plus}} The silhouette of the shadowy figure has hair similar to [[Sylar]]'s (i.e. spiky in front). <br> {{plus}} Sylar has been depicted as the shadowy figure in [[Isaac]]'s paintings before, e.g. the [[:Image:Painting_claire_menaced.jpg|painting]] of Clair running and the [[:Image:Painting_claire_murdered.jpg|painting]] Peter finished.
-|-
-|Mohinder will accidentally kill Mr. Bennet. || None. || {{plus}} If the paintings were chronologically ordered, Mohinder, in painting 7/8, may shoot Mr. Bennet, in painting 8/8.<br>{{plus}} Sylar, posing as Mr. Bennet, may attack Mohinder, and let Mohinder kill him.  This may lead to Sylar taking Claire's ability, leaving Mohinder shocked and disappointed at his mistake.<br>{{plus}} Judging from a closeup of Mohinder's face in [[:Image:Mohinder bnw.jpg|an uncolored version of painting 7/8]], there appears to be tears in his eyes. This could be because he shot Noah accidentally or unwillingly.<br> {{note}} It could be he is crying because his nose is broken.
-:{{minus}} His nose has been bandaged, which means that the wound is there for quite a while before Mohinder fired the pistol. It seems unlikely that someone will cry suddenly because of a wound from a while ago.
-|-
-|[[Mohinder]] has shot [[Niki|Niki/Jessica]] in painting [[:Image:Paintingmohinder.JPG|7/8]]. || None. || {{plus}} Mohinder and Niki/Jessica are now working together. Combined with the threatening undercurrent of their first conversation as partners and the suggestion in painting 4/8 that Niki/Jessica will go nuts, Mohinder will eventually have to try to stop his new partner. <br> {{plus}} The look on Mohinder's face could be the shock of how little damage shooting Niki/Jessica has done.
-:{{plus}}Another dimension of Niki's power could be an imperviousness to physical harm, at least to bullets anyway.
-::{{plus}}Niki/Jessica has no problem killing the members of the poker game in ''[[Better Halves]]'' despite one or more members being armed.
-{{plus}}As he was clearly against the virus spreading, he might have had to, due to Niki being a new victim of the Shanti virus.
-|-
-|The hand with the vial is Bob holding the "New" Shanti virus. || None. || {{note}} The vial Bob gave to Mohinder could appear clear in the right lighting, otherwise appearing a light blue.
-|-
-|[[Mohinder]] shot [[Bob]] in painting [[:Image:Paintingmohinder.JPG|7/8]]. ||None. || {{plus}} Mohinder and Noah's ultimate goal is to destroy [[The Company]].
-|-
-|[[Mohinder]] shoots [[Noah]] in the painting [[:Image:Paintingmohinder.JPG|7/8]]. ||None|| {{plus}} Mohinder was given a gun by the company and was on his way to Noah.
