Here are a few. Not sure if these are all actually plotholes or whether there are actually good or reasonable explanations for them...if there are, feel free to provide some. (And yes, I realize that a lot of this is just for the purposes of story convenience/plot devices--so no need to go there. heh)
1. According to Noah, Claire's blood would not only NOT heal or cure a person with cancer, it would make the cancer worse (because "regeneration" would cause the cancer to "grow faster" apparently). But shouldn't the act of regenerating/restoring Claire's body to a healthy/working or its original state, which is what Claire's ability basically accomplishes (directly or indirectly), include removing or at least limiting the spread of abnormal/harmful growths or over-growths that are gradually killing the body, such as cancerous growths? And if this isn't the case, consider that it is said that healthy people's bodies constantly develop cancer (or cancerous growths) throughout their lives, but their bodies constantly fight it off or limit it. But according to Noah, her blood would cause cancerous growths to spread/multiple even quicker. If this is the case, Claire's body (and Adam before her), should be over-run/filled with cancerous cells by this point. But her power is keeping the cancer from killing her, I guess? So if her power is ever shut off, she should drop dead immediately from death due to cancer I assume? lol Stay away from the Haitian, Claire. Stay away.
2. How did Peter accidentally end up in the bathroom when he teleported? He said it's because it's been a long time since he teleported, implying himself to be rusty. But how can a power like that have room for error? I mean "rustiness" to me with such an ability could mean accidentally ending up in a wall, or a few feet underground. Not just showing up in the wrong room of a house. The teleporting power has been shown in the past to seemingly be guided by some higher power or have some self-guiding intelligence to it, taking Hiro to where he "needed" to be on occasion. For it to drop Peter in the wrong place now because it's "been a while" seems silly to me.
3. Since I'm in total nerd mode already might as well take it to the next nerdy level: Speaking of teleporting, this isn't limited to this episode of course, but doesn't instantly appearing in a given spot mean the existing air molecules are still there (ie. no time for them to move)? When we normally move to another spot, our body displaces or pushes aside the air molecules. But if appearance is instant, shouldn't Peter's body and the air be instantly combined, or shouldn't it be inside every part of his body? An act of God no doubt that this doesn't happen? But, what god, I mean Peter accidentally wound up in the bathroom...lol. Maybe Peter "trades places" with the air molecules, and the air goes to where he left? Or maybe the air does indeed get pushed aside by the incoming mass, but it does so very quickly, meaning the traveler's appearance only seems instantaneous?
Fellow nerds? Little help?

Maybe he couldn't handle being married if he knew she'd live as long as he did and gee, how could he break it off if it meant she'd stop getting his blood and be forced to die... factor in how HE died in season three - that's pretty awful.
