However, unless it is by sheer coincidence, she has no reason to run into Peter at all, unless Thompson has something to do with it (who knows that Molly is the only one who can stop Sylar).
Sylar DOES need regenerative powers if he is injured in the explosion of New York, because all signs point to him being there in the season finale, and he needs to survive the bomb blast for the future to happen the way it was predicted. It would be a serious plothole if Sylar is not in New York when the bomb goes off, because the future timeline characters all believed he died in the explosion.

But the recent timeline suggests that Sylar has absolutely nothing directly to do w/ the exploslion. Linderman sets up Peter to set off the bomb. Sylar is not necessarily involved. Why does he need to regenerate? He now has the power to see the future, all he has to do is sit back and enjoy the show.
Here is my guess.... Prior to the explosion Nathan has an attack of consicous. He cannot let his brother go trough w/ the murder of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousdands, if not millions.). He backs out. Sylar steps in. Kills Nathan then takes his place (after killing the mystique ripoff that is). He cooperates w/ Linderman, then sets Peter up. When the explosion is about to occur he simply flies away. Does not need to survive anything.
I agree it would be a serious plot hole if Sylar is not in NY. But fortunately time alteration is involed. Hiro has stoped one set of events that leads to a NY holocaust, but unfortunately a second set of events also leads to that same conclusion. Now we deal w/ that second set of events, which does not revolve around Sylar particularly.
Molly clearly has some new power that can stop this new set of events. In the future, the chearleader has been saved, so this suggest that killing Sylar is not the only key to stopping the explosion.
Basically, my point is this. Since the cheerleader has been saved, the emphasis has been removed from Sylar. Now the greatest threat is Linderman and his manipulation of Peter via Nathan (or Sylar who takes his role). Molly's power once revealed will show a way to interfer w/ the path of manipulation between Linderman and Peter Patrelli.
