I thought Nathan saw Peter when he looked in the mirror. I know that doesn't make much sense, but I thought (until now) that he saw Peter's face looking back at him. Maybe it was to tell Nathan (and us) that Peter is still alive?

Now, about Nathan absorbing some of Peter's power. I'm not sure that's what happened. I imagined that either (1) at some point in the sky, when Peter was far enough from Earth, Nathan let go... and flew far enough away from Peter to survive; OR (2) Nathan flew with Peter long enough for Peter to absorb his ability to fly, at which point, Nathan returned to Earth, and Peter flew until he exploded.

Peter could already fly, however the creators of the show said he that because he was losing control of the explosion he was unable to "do" anything else.

I thought he saw Peter as well. I think he's 50% sure Peter's never coming back and 50% unable to let go just in case.

I didn't realize the creators had said this. I guess the first option (from my earlier post) would still explain how Nathan didn't die. I guess I just don't want to believe that Nathan now has Peter's same abilities.

There's no reason he should. He's not an "empath" If he was healed, it was by someone with healing abilities, not himself. But I don't think that's the issue.

I didn't think Nathan saw Peter in the mirror; I thought he saw himself and that's why he has the beard (to cover up scar tissue).

I was talking to a co-worker about show and she thought I had missed a major plot point: Peter was in the shipping container.

that actually makers sense considering he was in a bar getting drunk....
