How will the finale play out for Sylar?

My guess is that Sylar threatens Molly's life so Mohinder gives him some of Claire's blood to heal the spinal injury that's blocking his powers. Maya, seeing how evil Sylar is (perhaps with the push of some gloating about how he killed Alejandro), kills herself for letting Sylar manipulate her (I don't know how it plays out but I think she dies without him gaining her ability).

Just a thought...

Any other theories?

What spinal injury? If Candice mentioned that as the reason he doesn't have his powers, can you really believe it?

It doesn't seem very likely that the finale will make much sense, plot-wise, given that (a) the last one didn't and (b) this one has been cobbled together. So anything could happen. I personally think the original intention was that Candice was still alive and making Sylar think he had no

Ah, but it hasn't been cobbled together. This arc was never meant to last all of second season. It was supposed to end at episode 13. So all they had to do was move it up a bit.

Seeing how panned the exposition has been, moving it up was the best thing that happened.

The world is threatened by a virus, Maya has the power to control, what? Just her own created disease, or disease in general?

I see no point to her character unless she lives to fight the virus in Odessa. It's possible, but unlikely that Sylar would gain her power and then act the good guy in Odessa.

Buy aren't Maya and Sylar in New York?

yes

Not so http://gregbeeman.blogspot.com/2007/11/season-2- episode-10-truth-and....

This episode is a penultimate episode of our “pod” of eleven. Episode 11 will be (and always was designed to be the end of a chapter.) Season one, as we all know, had a 23 chapter “VOLUME.' But Tim Kring had come into this season specifically wanting to design smaller volumes. We knew well in advance how many episodes we’d run before our first break of re-runs and pre-emptions. After the eleventh episode on December 3rd, we knew we’d take a break. This year, Tim wanted to resolve the story more completely at this first break than we had last year, and begin VOLUME 3 in the Spring. Well before the writers strike was a serious issue, we had always planned on ending VOLUME 2 next week. It is true that, on the eve of the strike, as it was becoming an inevitability, Tim did some quick rewrites on episode 11, so that it would be even more resolved and complete if, God forbid, the strike goes on so long that there is no more of season 2 than the first eleven. If that happens 11 will be a de-facto season finale and can function as such. But if the strike is resolved relatively soon, we will most certainly come back and present VOLUME 3.

Characters are scattered all over. I'm assuming Maya will have to travel to Odessa. Or maybe Hiro, Peter, Adam, and Noah will grab the vial of virus stored at Primatech and travel to NY.

Maybe Peter will meet Maya and become the one to kill the virus.

But somehow, several people have to be brought together for the next episode, unless Kring plans to let some plotlines slide into the next volume.

Offhand, I'd say he probably does. I just can't see all this being wrapped up in one hour long episode.
