At that point, FP should have come back to life.A plot hole.I agree with the inner demons angle to the scene - but it felt increasingly forced as the stakes were raised as the scene played out.It also appears that Gabriel did not want to have his son see him use any power. So I suppose that is another reason.  Gabriel did not fear Knox, as to be blunt, given his power of super-healing, there was nothing Knox could do to him.  I suppose that is another reason.The point has been made time and time again that Peter's understanding of power is limited and inexperienced. Peter is, when contrasted with Sylar, ultra-emotional as compared to Sylar's perfect intellectual command of his powers. FP is more experienced with his power and had no problem stopping time where required to get out of a jam - until that ability was suppressed.The Hunger + Absorpton = Redemption?On a completely different tangent...it appears that the writers on the show have now made the unavoidable link between Sylar's power of "The Way things Work" and "the Hunger".  This would suggest that in most instances where Sylar kills (but not the two times he kills when south of the Border with the Snooze twins) he is not responsible for the crime - or at the least - is less morally culpable.It seems difficult to understand why present Peter Petrelli would start to cut apart Nathan's Head in an attempt to take his power - when he already has it.  That one is not going to be left alone. There will be some resolution of that issue during the course of this season, I predict.Unlike the above plot holes we have been discussing, I don't think this "plot hole" will be ignored by the writers and that this was a path they have embarked upon with deliberate intent. I expect that the combining of Peter's "Power Absorption" ability with Sylar's "The Way things Work ability " will ultimately lead to a possibility of balance between the two powers that will permit Peter to suppress "the Hunger".But will that avenue of redemption for Peter be extended to Sylar?Maybe.I do not think this spin is at all an accident. Indeed, I think it is the intention of the writers that Sylar will ultimately get the chance to open Peter's head  - just like Claire's - so that he can get Peter's absorption ability in order to allow him to suppress "the Hunger".  That's the way out for the writers to save Sylar in the series - their chance for his character to logically be redeemed and somehow continue in the show as an anti-hero.</blockquote>
