Candice's power of illusion works in such a way that an illusion created often enough can become subconscious, and so require no conscious control to create it.	None.	+ When Niki knocks her unconscious in How To Stop An Exploding Man, the illusions of Jessica and Micah disappear, but Candice herself remains in her "slim" form rather than reverting to the original form seen in Betty. • This could simply be a writing inconsistency - maybe it hadn't been decided at that point that Candice was not in her original form - or a casting inconsistency - maybe the producers didn't want to cast another actress just to play Candice's unconscious body. • Having a different actress to fall would have confused viewers who thought that Candice's "slim" form was her true self. If she changed into a different person, people may have presumed that the woman pretending to be Jessica was not Candice. + Future Sylar in "Five Years Gone" is able to fly and phase while holding the illusion of him being Nathan. + Candice confirms that she is huge when Micah comments on her eating and later, she hints that she really looks like a heavy woman, yet her unconscious form shows her as being slim.
