Did saving the cheerleader just save the world?

[HowardFilms]

These past few episodes I've wondered what it is about Claire that makes the world depend on her.

By stopping Nuke dude, and putting him under the paper company's control, she may have stopped NY from exploding. After all, as Peter learns to control himself, that guy may have been the only danger of New York going up in a mushroom cloud.

So what do you think...was the prophecy fulfilled tonight?

no i think its in new york she has to stop it

probably going to be something else or if they capture peter for 3 days he can get radioactiveness

It's possible.

Well, everything dealing with Claire, Nathan, and Peter was changed by saving the cheerleader. Not to mention what would have happened if they didn't have Claire to shoot instead of her mom. Or even how HRG would've gone off if Claire had been killed in the first place. Anyway, Peter would have never gone into the coma in Texas and everything that's come from that. Nathan would have never known about Claire and Meredith and everything that's come from that. And of course everything that's "rippled" from all of this.

But for the immediate future, she seems to have been the only person that could have gotten close enough to stop Ted and put him away so Peter can never come into contact with him. Unless, of course, he fakes his death and breaks out. Or even if Peter gets nabbed and put close enough to him. I really don't see the Company being that naive, though.

Now all we can do is sit back and wait for the ride that is Heroes. Thank you so much Tim Kringe!!!

I think that everyone is overlooking the obvious:

How do you stop an exploding man? You have the indestructable cheerleader give him a tranquilizer.

Regardless of who does cause the explosion, we now know that Claire can stop him.
