I knew what I thought about Sylar from pretty early on, although my opinion on Peter varies from day to day, nearly, I kid you not. Sometimes I catch myself feeling quite fond of him, and other times, I'm just sort of thinking, okay, get off the screen, Emo-Boy, so I can get back to watching Hiro and Ando.

Yes, precedence. I'm assuming they will go with it, as having Hiro put that sword in his hands with such a weighty promise is not something to go back on, not if they collectively have half a brain left (what with Sylar still on the loose).
