Answering from the Frankfurt Book Fair and thus not on my own laptop, so I can't make links, but if you use either the "heroes" or the "fanfic recs" tag at my lj, you`ll find an entry where I recommend a Sandra story called "Canons and Fugues", which is terrific.
(My own most extensive take on Sandra is in "Trioditis", which is about Claire, Sandra, Meredith and Angela, but that reads better once you`ve seen "Company Man" for Sandra and ".07%" for Angela.)
I think Noah B. actually believes it, at this point, when he tells Claire "your mother is a gentle soul", and that she should not have to know about "such things". It's self justification but also the way he lives with what he did to her. In "Parasite", which is your next but one episode, there is a scene between the two of them that says a lot about their marriage, but I´ll come to that once you´ve seen it.
Re: genetics, we don`t know yet whether or not the boys, Simon and Monty, have powers, but my own theory is that if the parents are one superpowered and one not, the chances are 50 50. Definitely all combinations of two superpowered people resulted in a superpowered child - Claire for Meredith and Nathan, Micah for Niki and D.L. Which made me assume even at this point that both Angela and the late Mr. Petrelli must have (had) powers because with not one but two sons having the gene, what are the odds?
