Just curious if anyone else thought of this . . .

Does the company know . . .

1) That Sylar has escaped?

2) That he killed Candace?

3) That he is traveling in Mexico?

Don't you think that they would wonder where Candace has gone to (no communication).

Wouldn't someone from the company be sent to find and capture Sylar?

What do you folks think?

i think it's a dumb story arc and should be ... oops, that's not the question, sorry!


we don't know that The Company™ was behind Sylar's rescue and rehabilitation in the first place. it doesn't add up to me. Candice/Betty/Michelle may have been "off the reservation", working on her own, possibly to get revenge against Linderman's killers. but frankly we just don't know her motives, other than she seemed to want to help Sylar kill more people and steal more powers. and there's about zero reason The Company™ would want Sylar doing that

For the first three questions? Yes. And the last two? No.

Or, for the sake of argument - make my answers the other way around...

I'm guessin' the company only knows what the writers have decided it knows...

Well, Candace had to be working with someone, since she was talking about him on the phone when we first saw her, and it sure sounded like she was talking to a superior. So if it's not the company, it would open a big question of who else she might be willing to work with, since she seemed like a very loyal company woman.

I doubt she's a surgeon.

Didn't the producers say that there are two factions within The Company?

huh, that makes sense. perhaps one "part" of The Company™ was planning to sic Sylar on another "part". still, i'll wait for confirmation -- there are too many unanswered questions for conjecture

Well it was pretty obvious last season that someone in the company wanted Sylar kept alive as Bennet and Eden were ordered to make sure he wasn't killed. I think this does lend a bit of support to the idea that Sylar also has a family connection to the company. We all were told that Sylars father was a regular joe watchmaker and that Sylar always longed for someone to come along and tell him he was different, that he was special. What if that is the case? Maybe Sylar was adopted out to the watch makers family to keep him hidden from the company? Now that Sylar has developed these powers, his father (or mother) is trying to bring him into the company do help do thier dirty work. They could use him to bring in people with powers similiar to the ones he's already taken, and then reward him with fresh brains and new powers from those the company deem to be a threat to them!

Would you be worried about leaving Sylar out there with someone who can make him see things that are not? I think he just caught her by surprise when he attacked her.

I think not only does the Company know that Sylar is alive, but that they had intended for Candace to be killed of by him. Its the only explanation that makes sense other then "they are idiots." Candace may be powerful, but you wouldn't put anyone alone with Sylar unless you had a team of armed guards with you too, or something.

Yep... the Haitian betraying Linderman's part of company only to work for Angela, who apparently is simultaneously cooperating with Linderman in the bomb plot, just goes to show that even though they run the same Company, they don't agree on everything... The heads of the company appears to cooperate only when they sees fit, but don't think much of working against each other when it serves their self interests... So I think the theory that different people in the Company wants different things to do with Sylar isn't implausible...



On the other hand, they may have overestimated Candice's ability... I mean, it's dangerous to let someone without power to work with a hostile powerhouse, Sylar wouldn't hesitate to kill them to escape even if they don't have powers... Though Sylar may want to kill the special working with him, at least the special has the ability to defend him/herself... And to control someone that is very powerful on the physical realm (ex: telekinesis, cryokinesis, etc), you'd want someone that can manipulate the mind to prevent the prisoner from using these abilities in the first place (which, incidentally, is a type of power Sylar does not appears to have) to control them... Their best candidates we've seen so far to be still surviving would probably been Maury Parkman or the Haitian, but neither are available... So they are left with Candice, who could have easily fooled Sylar by using illusions to project a "false body" for Sylar to interact with, but apparently she wasn't as smart as the Company thinks...

Anyone have a picture of the agent who worked with Audrey? I always suspected her of working for the Company and protecting Sylar. She kind of looks like one of the woman in the picture of the 12.

Elisa Thayer, and i have also always thought there was more to her than was let on (she's the one who insisted there was no "Sylar")

"I think not only does the Company know that Sylar is alive, but that they had intended for Candace to be killed of by him. Its the only explanation that makes sense other then "they are idiots."

I'd have to agree with Tularis here.

Sylar was Candace's "assignment", much the same way Peter was Elle's "assignment". The company intricately knows what's going on with these two, and placed them with each overseer accordingly. They knew Sylar would kill and take her power, just like they knew Peter would take Elle's.

Another interesting thing to note, or ask: is what the heck Sylar and Candace were doing out in the middle of a Mexican forest? hmmm.. Perhaps to plan a run in with the deadly twins?
