We know he froze the people before killing them.

Now, in the little "last week portion" of this ep we see Sylar escaping - something that actually wasn't shown last week (or was it?). So they kinda spoiled it, because then they go and show the actual escape a little later.

Not sure how well known this is, but according to pretty much all of the spoiler sites, the following is going to happen in the next couple of weeks. This is a big spoiler:

I'm just bringing it up as a possibility

Well, like the memory/learning girl from the diner that he killed, how are they going to demonstrate those powers? It's not like we see him in a normal situation where he could be demonstrating that. We also do not know the powers of anybody else that he has killed besides the ones that they featured on the show, which means that he could bust out with some crazy ability at any point that we did not know he had. Couple that with the tidbit from the comic where HRG tells Eden's lousy father that she died to stop someone from obtaining her gift and this would have to be one hell of a misdirection. Also, I wouldn't say that he 'absorbs' their powers, it was, at least as far as I am concerned explained that he essentially figures out what part of their brain is 'broken' that gives them their abilities and then copies it or something in his own way. That was how I interpreted it from the reveal on him where he gains his TK powers.

.Still, I suppose it is possible he used TK to open the freezer and blow freezing air out enough to freeze a human in mid-bite and further coat him to where he was still encased hours later when the feds showed up.
Also, I still say he clearly had Eden's power there right before HRG showed up to save the day.

I think "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" could be re-named as "meet" the cheerleader, save the world... IE Peter having met Claire and learned her power may have been all that was needed to "save the world". Something else to consider...Peter has met and come into contact with Sylar so peter should be able to TK as well once he learns how to control his powers better.

I don't think Peter will be able to use Sylar's powers - I think being around Sylar is actually what made Peter sick... either because he was sensing too many powers at once, or because Sylar's powers aren't "natural."
The two characters are very similar, but they are also complete opposites.

Claude described Peter as an Empath (and clearly not the first). Sylar seems to be more of a mimic/leech. He certainly isn't empathetic 
Peter's healing ability isn't going to do much for him if he keeps getting disabled momentarily after being wounded.

Technically, it should have been NCC-2000. Excelsior only had the NX-2000 designation during the experimental "trans-warp" tests. By the time Sulu got a hold of her she was back to the standard NCC prefix.
