Theory	Citations	Notes
Sylar will kill Candice and go on to use her powers.	None.	+ This happened in the dark future. (Five Years Gone) + Missy Peregrym will be in the show Reaper, set to film during Season Two, and Missy was not resigned by NBC. - Candice can create an illusion, and another actress to play her. - Or, more seriously, NBC hired another actress to play Candice and explained it away as her trying a new look and a new identity... as they did in Kindred + This may have happened in Kindred, assuming Candice isn't using her powers at the end to confuse Sylar.
If Candice uses an illusion long enough, it becomes an unconcious act, much like breathing, or a heart beat.	In How To Stop An Exploding Man, when knocked unconcious by Niki, Candice did not revert to her natural state.	+ Though many powers need concious control, other evolved humans have been seen to have unconcious control over their powers, such as Claire, who heals automatically. + Though being knocked unconcious interferes with higher brain functions, it does not affect unconcious actions, such as breathing. This would seem to indicate that Candice's ability to maintain this particular illusion is also unconscious. - It is possible that Candice faked unconsciousness to avoid fighting an obviously superior (i.e. super-strong) opponent.
Candice was not actually killed in Kindred.	None	+ Candice lived for a few moments after Sylar attacked her. This would give her time to cast another illusion. + Sylar's loss of power could be one of Candice's illusions. + The deserted forest that Sylar finds himself in may also be an illusion. - Sylar has since interacted with other characters (Maya and Alejandro, in The Kindness of Strangers). + Candice was probably not stupid enough to let Sylar get so close to attack her, and made him attack an illusion of her. - Sylar could have been purposely infected with the Shanti virus making Candice not consider him a threat, and allowing her to let her guard down. + If the Company did infect Sylar with the Shanti virus, it is unlikely the Company would risk letting Candice be close enough to become infected. + It's awfully convenient that Candice took Sylar to a shack in Middle-of-Nowhere, Mexico, where the first people he would encounter would be two more evolved humans travelling in the stolen car of another evolved human. The situation appears to have been manipulated.
Candice was never in Kindred.	None	+ Sylar could be experiencing a dream world created by the Matt's father. + Matt's father could have taken Candice's and Sylar's powers and be impersonating Candice. - Sylar had never met Candice prior to the episode. He can't have a nightmare with her in it when he has no memory of her.
