I'm surprised no one has mentioned the cockroach perched on the brick which Gabriel uses before he takes off with the twins. Is someone affiliated with cockroaches trailing him, or does it have something to do with him alone?

I think it's just an allusion to Mohinder calling him a cockroach in Season 1 plus it goes hand in hand with the fact that he's hard to kill (as seen by the cockroach on top of the manhole where Sylar escaped in the Season 1 finale).

I think there is much more to it than that and I hope it gets explained soon.

Heroes is not a show that makes subtle allusions like that. The roach isn't a metaphor imo, much more than that.
