What Peter needs to realize is that Adam used him to get himself out of the facility. Adam can't exactly walk through walls. He is being way to naive. Although I can see why he would trust him to a point (saving Nathan), he does not exactly know him too well. He basically only knew him during his time inside the facility and the night he escaped. The next contact they had was when he showed up in Montreal. I would be asking some questions.

Why didn't Peter read Adam's mind?

Peter is a jack of all trades, master of none. He's got Matt's abilities, but without practice, he's not as strong as Matt is with them.
Now, we saw how Angela Petrelli was able to hold back Matt for a while, so I bet it would be easy for Adam to hold off Peter indefinitely.Comment

the way the ability works is that the mind reader can read whats on the surface. matt has mastered his abilities so he may be able to read deeper but peter can only read what adam is thinking at that point. adam just needs to make sure hes not thinking about killing people and hes safe.Comment

Face it people, the writers have painted Peter in a corner with his all his powers. They have to make him look like an idiot if he has any interaction with other people. Any situation he is in, good or bad, he has a couple of powers available to help him, and he uses none...Comment

I hate to sound like I'm nitpicking, but this really did stand out to me. If he can read that woman's mind (whatever her name was), why couldn't he read Adam's?Comment

Yeah Peter didn't have reason to distrust Adam so he didn't feel the need to invade his mind I guess. In fact, Adam had done nothing but earn his trust in various ways. So basically he completely played Peter from the beginning.
If Peter read Adam's mind and he was thinking in Japanese, they would have shown that happen, so that's not even a possibility. I thought of this but again since they didn't show it happen it rules it out. Certain story elements are sometimes hidden from the audience to be surprises later on, but this isn't one of those things.Comment
