I wasn't surprised to see Peter and Nikki together. They both are really the most fragile of the heroes that survive the blast emotionally. They both lose quite a bit (Nikki seems to lose her husband and child, Peter loses his family) What interested me about their relationship was that it wasn't particularly tender and she was very, very needy. I'm really interested in what happened to Jessica or the 'other' personality that was alluded to an episode or two ago. Did the blast knock them out of her? The trauma of losing D.L. and Micah? WOW.

I saw someone's suggestion (I think on latxcvi's journal) that Jessica might have "died" in the nuclear explosion, which is an interesting thought. And apparently Sylar ate D.L.'s brain, since he acquired his power of moving through walls.

You mention that Peter lost his family too--do you think he knows about Sylar!Nathan before the final fight? And do we think Mama Petrelli is dead in this future?
