You're probably right but it would still be weird for Nathan to say to Peter save the cheerleader and we both save the world since Claire has no impact in the explosion.
If they had not saved Clare then we would not have had the interaction between her and Nathan in the office building(before she jumped out the window). I believe this incident is what caused Nathan to change his mind and fly off to help Peter. So if Clare had died in Texas, Nathan would have never met his daughter and he would have let the explosion happen. So in a sense when they saved the cheerleader they did save the world. Also it could be alluding to events that happen in later seasons. Maybe Clare does'nt save the world "as it were" this season but maybe she does in season 2 or 3.


i am watching Americas Got Talent on NBC and during a commercial break i saw the first Heroes promo for the second season. It featured Claire (ny fave Hero). It was so exciting, it was like a breath of fresh air.
