Theory	Citations	Notes
Noah, knowing what would happen in the painting, arranged with Mohinder to be shot by him. Mohinder was able to access Claire's blood and used it to revive HRG.	None.	+ Mohinder and HRG had a lot of time together alone in the car to work on a plan. + Mohinder and HRG still planned to take down the Company, even though it appeared that Mohinder was on both sides. - Bennet seemed genuinely surprised when he regained consciousness - it seems unlikely that he expected to be revived in a company facility. + It's possible he was simply surprised by the feeling of being brought back from the dead. Even if he knew it was coming, it's difficult to prepare oneself for something like that. - Mohinder was distraught looking over the gun he had, almost in tears by what he had done. He couldn't have been in two places at the same time. - Noah stopped Mohinder from shooting him when painting 7/8 was realized.
Bennet will always have secrets.	None.	+ He has a history of not telling the truth about his work. Also, he tried to hide the truth about Claire's biological parents from her. + He may be hiding that Claire received her ability through injection. - As all of Claire's maternal side of the family has powers, and these powers run in her paternal side as well, it seems quite unlikely that she was injected with a synthetic ability. Plus, the fact Claire survived the fire as a baby proves that she had the ability from birth. - Only her mother and maternal uncle were shown to have powers. - Noah was seen holding Claire after the fire, so he saved her. - Claire only began displaying a power in Six Months Ago. • It is unknown as to whether Noah knows that The Company developed a formula to grant people abilities.
Noah will eventually die permanently.	None.	+ He died in the explosion future and the exposed future. + 93% of the world died in the outbreak future. Noah was probably among them. - Probably is not a confirmation. - Noah dying in some of the possible futures has nothing to do with the current timeline that the show is following. + Since Noah does not have rapid cellular regeneration, that is a certainty for him to die sometime. • Rapid cell regeneration doesn't completely prevent death, as seen with Arthur.
Noah will be injected with the formula and have an ability.	None.	+ It would make a cool plot twist.
Noah already has an ability but is keeping it a secret.	None.	+ Something along the lines of Empathic mimicry would be awesome. Especially with all the Evolved humans he captured for The Company, he would be extrememly powerful.
