Ooh, good point about the different kind of creepy. Although in a weird way it goes back to the same idea, which is that what makes Claire important is her powers rather than her humanity -- since the boy's humanity doesn't matter a hill o' beans -- or even her relationship to him.

Although that's still a different twist on where I first thought they were going with him, which was a "mutants are less than human, nor more" sort of place.

I thought Nathan was more interesting than he's been yet -- his interaction with Hiro and with the person who needed -- and got -- saving at least showed that he's not entirely monomanical, merely very preoccupied. And I thought his negotiating technique showed chutzpah and a decent grasp of psychology, though the ethics are dubious at best.
