There's the theory that Claire will always physically remain a virgin, given her healing powers. This episode actually reminded me about that.

"Her hymen will repair itself" is a lot more accurate, as the definition of "virgin" generally refers to having had intercourse, not a matter of physiology.

They explored the same thing in True Blood, with intercourse always being painful for the young female vampire. That would, um, suck.

I guess that means being a Lesbian has it perks for her, eh?

Though IIRC, she doesn't feel pain as strong as normal people. I guess with all that stabbing going on with her, that's a good thing.
I was honestly doubtful about the whole "Lesbian" storyline that was alluded to. It seemed like a cheap tactic to get viewers. But it's done pretty tasteful so far. Maybe the choice of actress helps, too.

Aside from that, I enjoy this season more than the previous one. The characters don't feel to make so many stupid mistakes as was known for them. Sure, some things the power-gaming, optimizing roleplayer might do differently, but it's just so much better than it used to.

It's not as intriguing as the first season, but it's still (or again) decent. If it comes to the worst and Heroes is canceled after this season, I think the ending might be more satisfying than if it had happened after the past 2 seasons. Going out on a high note.
