Did anyone notice if Elle's arm was still damaged on the drive home?
Im fairly sure I remember her holding her arm in pain.

Yes, its possible that they hooked up HRG much later on,
or that he is a guinea pig before trying it on Elle -
but I think Elle's arm could be used as a clue as to who healed HRG.

Well it might be reading too much into it to say this, but I thought Elle's pulling away her arm from Bob may have been because she knew he didn't use the blood on her, and because of the things HRG told her about Bob and her missing memories.

But it might have been just because she's a psycho too.

I belive it was because of what HRG told her. The whole "Haha, your Dad doesn't love you. He electicuted you. =)"

So, I think she's going to be all "EFF YOU BOB/DAD/BOB, I'MMA LEAVE NOW"

Yeah..
Go! Go! Hiro!

Im pretty sure her arm got healed. Just because they didn't show it doesn't mean it didn't happen. yup.

On the ride back, her arm was bandaged and still, Bob had her do the driving. What a meanie!

First, they don't apparently have too much blood from Claire, although we really don't know how many blood bags Bob filled, so why waste some on a flesh wound? I'm not saying it wouldn't hurt being shot in the arm, but definately, it is survivable without the miracle blood. But, just suppose they had enough extra blood but Bob feared maybe the blood would somehow undo what the Haitian did to Elle (if he indeed took her memories), and she remembered the supposed electrocal experiements she was put through. She is crazy enough already, if she had those memories, I think she would be totally uncontrollable.

If you need all the blood you can to prevent humanity from becoming an endangered species, you would not want to waste any on some wound that can heal well enough naturally... Lots of people has broken an arm and lived with it without any problem while it healed, and she can always use her other arm to shoot lightnings...

Who is to say that they didn't once they got back?

I think this is a much more logical answer.

Yeah,but still,think about it in terms of Bob as a father,
he's got a daughter with a bullet wound and a Instaheal blood pack!
HRG says it best.."You would be surprised what a father would do for his daughter" cool.gif

That's reading a bit into things. We don't really have anything to go on, other than what we see. LoL.

Well... given the choice to heal the dead man with a missing eye, or the girl that will heal naturally on her own, I'd have to say the dead guy. LoL.

Part of the reason I think she pulled her arm away is what she was told by HRG.

If any of y'all listened to what Mohinder was saying, when it showed that part, he was talking choices.

I think it's leading up to what Elle does with the information she gained from HRG...

I assumed that the blood for HRG was from Adam (or Peter) instead of Claire's blood from Bob.

Adam has a reason to keep HRG alive to take down the company.
Bob doesn't have a reason to keep HRG alive that I can see.

Except said daughter is not exactly immuned to the Shanti virus either, even before it mutated... Daughter with a temporarily hurt arm is better than dead daughter or orphaned daughter anytime, right?
