Character History
The Hard Part
Sylar visits his mother after worrying that he might explode. After bringing her another snow globe from his travels (this latest one from Texas), he talks to his mother about being special. After recreating a snow globe in her apartment by freezing water and swirling it around the room, she becomes distraught at what her son has become. After a struggle with a pair of scissors, Sylar stabs his mother. Sylar later uses her blood to fingerpaint the explosion on the floor.
Trivia
- When Sylar brings his mother a snow globe, she remarks that she's "just missing Oregon. I hear it's...green everywhere [there]." Ellen Greene, the actress who portrays Virginia, is most famous for her role as "Audrey" in the movie and stage productions of Little Shop of Horrors in which she sang the song "Somewhere That's Green."
- Greg Beeman said of Virginia's character that she "was very disturbed and very judgmental and very critical. But at the same time, over the years she had pushed everyone she loved away and she regretted that. So, now, with her son back at home she was trying - straining - to not be too harsh on him."[1]
