The Reporter knew about Tracy's Ability.	None	+ The Reporter stated he was considering running the Story under the headline "Ice Queen Heats up Las Vegas" - It would be impossible for the reporter to know about Tracy's ability before she knew about it, and from the look of shock on her face, this may have been the first time it had manifested.

Tracy is another of Niki's personalities (and some of her personalities manifest new powers).	They look exactly alike. There are no differences except as to their jobs.

They could have caused her to manifest a third personality which was oblivious to the former two. - Niki and Jessica had two different personalities and had the same power. + She seemed to have been genuinely oblivious as to Niki or Jessica's existence when confronted, and this new personality could have overcome the last three (Jessica, Niki and Gina), and when her brain shifted into this new personality, it may have resulted in a new ability as well as loss of memory of the previous three. + Jessica used her ability before Niki and Niki seems to have absorbed this powerful from Jessica similar to Peter's power. This could be a new personality with a different a power that Niki will eventually absorb or learn to use. - If it's a manifestation of another identity, it is her fourth identity.
