Theory	Citations	Notes
In the future, Eric Doyle will escape Level 5 again when Pinehearst destroys the Company.	None.	+ Noah Bennet released Eric from his cell to send him against Sylar. - Sylar probably killed Eric. - If Sylar didn't kill him, the subsequent explosion of the building probably did. + It's possible he recovered enough from Sylar's attack and managed to flee the building before it went up in flames. + Some time elapsed since Meredith exploded and the building collapsed. - Primatech Research (including Level 5) and the Pinehearst building have already been destroyed.
Eric Doyle and Flint will team up to seek revenge on Sylar.	None.	+ Eric was in love with Meredith. + Meredith was Flint's sister. + They were both incarcerated in Level 5, that could have given them time to know each other. - If Flint knows Eric did what he did to his sister, he might not like him so much, and Flint is short-tempered. + He may not like him, but he would probably like Sylar less and would choose the lesser of two evils. + Is Flint smart enough to consider that? - He's no less smart than he'd have to be to uncover Eric's past deeds. • Flint isn't the smartest crayon in the box, him discovering Eric's past and teaming up with him is unlikely.
Eric Doyle is somehow related to Matt Parkman or Maury Parkman.	None.	+ Eric has abilities not unlike Matt or Maury. - How is telepathy similar to puppet master? + Eric has similar features to Maury. - They would have mentioned this earlier as both were locked up in Level 5.
Eric Doyle is a misogynist.	None.	+ Eric Doyle tormented no less than four different women in Dying of the Light. To date Doyle has tormented no men. - According to graphic novels and his assignment tracker profile, Doyle was responsible for at least four male deaths: his uncle, his neighbor, a guy who bullied him in school and a complete stranger who cut him in traffic. + These men are all killed coldly and efficiently - his uncle by drowning, his neighbour with a gunshot to the head, the bully with sleeping pills, and the stranger with a car crash. All are simple murders, as opposed to the psychological torture he inflicts on Claire, Sandra, and Meredith. + Eric Doyle rejects Meredith's love. Maybe he never really wanted her to love him, he just wanted to force her to bend to his will? - Eric didn't reject Meredith's love. He just didn't believe her. + Eric Doyle never married, nor has had any known healthy relationship with a woman. Perhaps it's because he hates women.
