They answered, "In genetics, nothing is guaranteed. A random mix of traits." In another session they said, "We've seen that the existence of powers may be something passed on, but the powers themselves are a crapshoot of sorts. For example, phase-man + strength-girl = talks to machines.I enjoyed this episode and am looking forward to next week's conclusion.  Go Hiro!</blockquote>
