What to expect in season 2 of Heroes

I won't rehash the spoilers we gave in May, since you can go read them yourself. Here are the new tidbits that leaked on the web since then (some we've mentioned in our Spoilers Anonymous feature):

• Peter and Nathan are still alive so is Matt. However, it looks like D.L. is dead (if he isn't, he won't be doing much this season).
  
• A character will die in the season premiere.
• Ando will be traveling between Japan and New York. There will also be some sort of connection between Hiro and him.
• Hiro will spend part of the season in the past where he'll interact with a Caucasian Samurai and a princess.
  
• The Bennets are back together and have relocated in California. Claire will go back to cheerleading and acting like a teen. She'll be dating West, a new Hero who can fly. Claire will start to control her powers so much that she'll use them unconsciously.
  
• In order to "fix something" (we don't know what yet), Niki will leave Micah behind. The woman will eventually cross paths with Claire.
  
• We will meet Nana, grandmother to new character Monica and Micah's great-aunt. She will take care of the two youngsters in her once-flooded New Orleans home.
• A new character named Elle will make her first appearance around the fifth episode. She is said to have ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.'s past and the future of Claire.
  
• Peter will be held up in a cage/cell.
• Sophie, a new character said to be dangerous, will be introduced this season. She works for a powerful group. It is unknown if said group is one we've seen before.
• Expect more future-telling paintings.
• The boogie man still haunts Molly's dreams.
