She was never enhanced by the heat when she was a prisoner, otherwise she'd be able to break out alot faster and wouldn't have needed Micah's help when he turned them off. She would've been strong enough to freeze her restraints despite the heat. If anything, her power was just building up, like how putting too much water in a balloon will build pressure and eventually pop it, despite the balloon holding the water in for awhile. my guess is that her power was building up, resulting in that cold snap later in the episode once she was free of the heat.

As Heroes Wiki states, Heat can negate her power, not enhance it
