There was a scene in a preview, two weeks ago, where Claire was strapped down in some kind of laboratory setting and the man with the glasses, whom we now know to be her father, was looking down upon her.
Continuing with my theory that Claire's father is Syler, he'll attempt to use that opportunity to consume her brain, which I'm positive is how Syler is fueling his own abilities, and possibly gaining new ones. (Note that in a previous post, I predicted this and called it "conspicuous consumption".)
However, the preview at the end of this past episode stated that the Heroes will begin to come together. It was revealed in other previews that the comic book Hiro has will show them Claire's predicament and direct them to Odessa, TX, to save her.
If Claire's father is in fact Syler, then this will be a very convenient merge, as Hiro, Nathan, Robert, Isaac, Muhinder (and their allies) will all come in from NYC, whereas Matthew and Niki will be lead in from the West coast.
There's also a good chance that Niki may meet up with this D.L. character along the way quite soon, since his existence has at least been mentioned. Seeing as D.L.'s mother mentioned that he escaped from prison, it's very likely that he'll be on the FBI's Most Wanted List. This provides an excellent tie-in to Matthew Parkman, who's already chasing the man we presume to be Syler.
Also, check my post on the previous page. I told everyone Syler would possess telekinesis. Not that it was rocket science to figure this out, but I like being right.
