No, just that - in that particular timeline - they haven't found their powers (provided they *are* special). Suresh's power is surely gullability. Or maybe empathy? Sylar still hadn't killed him. How realistic was it that Sylar didn't kill Greg Grunberg's character? Wouldn't he love to be...
Wow, everyone seems to have loved this episode. I wasn't impressed, since the future they went to won't happen once they stop the bomb (and I assume they do, or the series will lose all suspense for the fates of those characters). I kept wanting them to return to the "real" story. Ah well...
