I'm fairly certain the ticking sound is what those in the profession refer to as 'sound effects'...
As for #4, he would have to get someone who has the ability to heal. I assume he didn't select Linderman as he had double-crossed him and would unlikely heal him, and if he chose to just absorb his power he probably couldn't use it on himself in his current state (not to mention we're not even sure if Linderman could heal himself at all - he definitely did not survive his death as far as we know). He's also not able to penetrate the Company for fear of arousing Angela's suspicions limiting his options to the only people we know of with the auto healing ability which are Adam and Claire (the former of course being the chosen candidate). As albert mentioned above it's also possible that his powers at present are only that of mind control (*cough* potential relationship to Parkman's father: Parkman = Peter's cousin?) and that he attains the ability to steal others' powers later on some how.

Of course all the explanations in this entire thread, by the standards set by the TV show, can be considered as looking into the situation far too much considering that the show casually alters rules of each person's powers from episode to episode in order to progress through what can only be described as a mediocre script.

I'm surprised this episode actually related events back to prior episodes... well, the pilot episode anyway. Hopefully this develops into a future trend of having logically occuring events instead of the series of random and nonsensical happenings which we've had to endure for the last two and a half seasons.
