After a time with them, he develop some overly aggressive habits and paranoia of his partner Claude, thus he was ordered to find a new relationship and start a new family. In spite of all these things, Claire seemed willing to forgive him until she was shown a recent memory of Noah confronting Gretchen to persuade her under threat of memory erasure that she help push Claire into staying away from Samuel and in school to have a normal life.

Upon entering the mental prison Matt trapped Sylar in, Peter yells out in hopes that Sylar will answer and he will be able to find him. Sylar meanwhile is toiling over some old broken watches just as he use to do before he became a killer. He then hears a noise from somewhere, so he shifts himself to street level where he finally confronts Peter who found a metal post to bang against the pavement in order to get his attention. Peter reveals to Sylar that he intends to free him from this nightmare of his which Sylar believes he has been trapped in for three years when in actuality it has only been about three hours. At first, Sylar thinks this is only his mind playing tricks on him until Peter reveals what he say in his precognitive dream about Sylar saving Emma from killing thousands of innocent people (Close to You).

While reluctantly accepting what Peter tells him, Sylar dares him to free them, only to have Peter fail in his attempt. Peter then proceeds to simply avoid Sylar for three months in dream world time (DWT). When they finally start talking again, Sylar reveals he does not really want to escape for he feels he deserves this punishment, but Peter know if both of them are to escape, he needs to get Sylar on the same page as him. Just then, a brick wall manifest in front of them which they realize they must break through in order to escape. Peter sledges away at it for several years (DWT), all the while Sylar apologizes for killing his brother Nathan.

Eventually, Peter learns to let go of his anger, forgive Sylar and accept that he is truly a changed man, thus allowing them to be able to break through the wall and escape the mental prison. As they both wake up, and Sylar telekinetically breaks through the wall Matt sealed him behind, they look at Peter’s Watch to discover that only about half a day has gone by. As they prepare to leave they are stopped by Eli.
