Claire says to Future Sylar "you took everything away from me".	+ They are living in The Bennets' new home in Costa Verde, CA. + He Likes waffles just like Noah Bennet. + It would also explain why he named his son Noah in a possible future.
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.
Noah will have The Haitian seek out Claude to help them take down the Company from the inside.	None.	+ Noah knows that Claude is alive and hates the Company as much he does. - Noah tried to kill Claude (Company Man). So it seems very unlikely that Claude and Noah will work together in the future. + The Company gave the order to kill Claude, not Bennet. Claude may realize this and put aside his differences with Bennet if it means taking down the Company. + Claude has the perfect ability to get inside information about the Company. + Claude is slated to return in volume 3. + If the Haitian finds him, Claude won't be able to fight back or turn invisible. He may not be given a choice whether or not to help them.
Noah Bennet is Sylar's "gifted" son.	We don't know who Noah's biological father is, so he may be Sylar. While HRG's biological mother may be Elle Bishop, since we know she shares a story arc with Sylar in Season 3.	+ They could travel back in time to the 1960s, in order to put Noah up for adoption. His adoptive parents are unknown, but HRG must’ve recognized the house that he grew up in. So when his family was on the run from the Company, Noah knew exactly where to find the perfect safe house.
Noah Bennet is actually Mellouk's assigner - the one who gave Daphne Millbrook her assignment to steal half of the formula from Kaito Nakamura in Japan.

Also, this could be a future/alternate reality Noah.
Noah Bennet is Sylar's biological father.	None	+ Sylar's biological father is unknown. + If Angela became pregnant as a result of a extramarital affair it would explain why she gave Sylar up for adoption. + It would also explain why he named his son Noah in a possible future. - In a teaer for Episode 5 it gives a lot of information about Arthur Petrelli (this, added with spoilers).
