Did we just see her power...or how did Peter remember all of sudden the history of him and his mother? Is that her power to reverse memory loss?

I thought it was Peter involuntarily accessing Parkman's mind-reading abilities? Even the sound effects were the same.

Same here.
But my question is does he remember everything or just his mom?

I think it was one of two possibilities:
1.) It is indeed Mama Petrelli's power to implant memories within people's minds, there was a certain oddness to the memories Peter saw, almost as if they were from her perspective to a point.
2.) That, or the super-memory power he would have picked up from Sylar kicked in...

i don't think it would be angelas power at all, i mean that just sounds crazy sorry.
notice how shes been able to focus with mind readers, shes just recounted all of her memories and peter read them with parkmans power..
i like the theory of charlies power though, you think that would be something that wouldn't just happen randomly but more of a passive thing like the super hearing..

Making people remember things seems like a rather limited power. I do expect her to have somekind of mental power, maybe force people into certain states of mind. Or make emotionless decisions, she can be so cold

Does/did Sylar still have the super brain? I thought after Hiro changed the history she died from a brain tumor, which might even be related to her power, which would cause Sylar to have the same.

I believe Peter looked at Angela, and without consciously using it, he tapped in to Matt's power and read her mind of all the memories she has of him. And I believe that is how he will end up regaining at least part of his memory, from reading the minds of others.
Unfortunately, if anyone knows of his power, they can manipulate him into believing whatever they want simply by substituting that thought for the real memory. Sometimes if you believe in something long enough, it comes true in your mind.

I think that they only focused on his memories with his mother to allow a short time scene. I would hope that his memory is fully restored.

Peter has part of his memories but will he know everything ?

He was reading Angela's mind, scanning through her memories.
Hence why he still didn't know who Adam was.

The thing with Peter is that when he recovers and becomes fully aware of his powers, where do we go from there? He is so powerful (and now immortal, thanks to Adam) what kind of obstacle or enemy will the writers (when they come back) be able to put up to him?

Because maybe Angela wasn't thinking of Adam that time that Peter scanned her memory. She was thinking of Peter all along, his birthdays, his childhood...

I think he remembered because he was reading her mind.
I am still wondering what Angela's power is. We are still in the dark about what several of the 12s powers are. Angela, daddy Petrelli, Hiro's dad and the Simones dad.
bignas1234

Same here, reading Angela's mind or digging into his own mind (which i doubt)
we need more evidence, so we can truly say what her powers really are

I've read somewhere that Kaito can clone himself? I haven't seen it though, was it in season 1?

Parkman cant read minds, he can hear what people think, or when developed he can mess with the mind but i dont think he can SEE your memories.

maybe he used an evolved form of parkman's powers and he got his memories from his mother only, the time when his mother knew everything about peter, (she was very mysterious and a know-it-all at season 1), and she doesn't know anything about adam since that happened between the 4 months and she thought peter was dead and knew nothing about peter meeting adam.

True, Peter didnt knew Adam before those 4 Months. So if he did read all memories of his Angela, then he would not know anything about Adam, except the fact the relationship between Angela and Adam from the Company.
But Peter only read his mother's memories about him. Right?

I thought exactly the same when i watched the episode and he got back his memory. It really came over to me as it was Angela's power.
But now i read this topic, i think he just readed her mind cause you saw on every picture his mom.

Yea, but only about her memories about Peter not her whole memory else he would know Adam and his motives.

I think she just strongly concentrated on select memories of her and Peter so that Peter's mind reading power would pick up on it.

My theory is that Peter used Parkman's mind-reading power to see what Mama Petrelli was thinking and she was considering all the times she had been there for Peter. She is aware of his powers so she had a mental slideshow all ready for him.

Excellent point. Remember how she "shouted" at Parkman to "get out of her mind!", so she clearly knows the "feeling" that goes with having that power used upon you.

That is interesting. That shes able to sense when someone is using a power and that she can pickup what that power is.
I think Peter just extracted memories from his Mom

I don't think it was her power, most probably it was Peter reading her mind or something like that.
If it was a power, she could work with the Haitian: he "downloads" the memories and she "uploads" them, LoL.

Nov 6 2007, 11:05 PM
i thought she could feel what other people feels. like emotions. like in season one she knew claire couldnt trust nathan so she went away but angela mysteriously caught up with her. and she could feel when matt was reading her mind. and when peter was trying to recall, she gave that happy sad smile even before peter calls her "ma".

I don't actually think it was any power at all. I think it all just came back when Peter saw her. He tried to remember and - *FLASH* - All the memories are back
