Claire went to the carnival in Heroes Season 4 Episode 12, and she decided to stick around for a while.
Samuel is going to the city to get someone to help their plan come together. He tells Claire they’ll end up with a permanent place, and then she may want to stay. Or go. Her choice. Well, she’s not really free to go, but she can think she is.
Hiro’s on the streets of Japan, where he sees a woman getting mugged. His reward for being a hero: the cops arrest him.
Ando’s been looking for Hiro for about six weeks, so as it turns out that’s where Hiro is headed after the police get their hands on him. Perhaps Ando can explain why Hiro is talking in riddles. Perhaps not.
Emma gets a letter from the medical school. Her application has been denied. When she gets home, she gets a visit from Samuel. He’s the one who sent her the cello.
Hiro has a plan: go to the land of swamp dragons and rescue Dr. Watson. Sounds like somebody needs his brain operated on. Nonetheless, Ando’s starting to understand. Some of this is from Sherlock Holmes, some from X-Men. Maybe if they go get his comic books they will get to the bottom of this mystery.
Samuel’s reason for visiting Emma is because he hopes to locate another hero also overwhelmed by his gift.
Claire thinks she’s being followed. Pretty much because she is. Eli’s all around her. She leads him into the house of mirrors, where she, too, can now appear as multiple people. Then she knocks him out. After that, she sneaks in to find out what Samuel’s been so preocupied with since she got there. It doesn’t end there, though. Eric Doyle is back to see if he can control her again. While inside the trailer, she finds out that Samuel is using HRG’s old files to find people with abilities. He’s planning something. Doyle is okay with that.
Based on Hiro’s rambling about Don Quixote and Spiderman, some of it in Spanish, Ando has determined that Hiro wants to go to somewhere in Florida called Arkham. A search leads to a psychiatric hospital. Well, that should be fun.
Samuel tells Emma her playing is like a siren’s song. This proves true. A little bit of playing allows him to track down the hero he’s looking for, Ian. Before leaving, Samuel gives her the compass to help get her to a place he’d like her to visit.
A plane crash pops up on the TV. Nathan Petrelli was the pilot.
Claire manages to talk some sense into Doyle, who suggests talking to Lydia if she wants to know what’s happening. She guesses what happened to Joseph: his brother Samuel killed him. Lydia begs for help to find someone who can stop Samuel. That will have to wait, seeing as Eli’s waiting for Claire as she walks away. Samuel is around to see this and pretend he doesn’t know what’s going on and that Claire’s not a prisoner. He admits he killed his brother, but says he just lost control.
Ian’s power is to create plant life. Kind of a boring power, but he can turn this wasteland into a paradise, a new home. Once Ian has created this new environment, Samuel reiterates to Claire that she’s free to go. Regardless of what she’s seen, she is open to the invite back and has no intention of giving the compass back to her father.
Claire gets a call from Peter. Something happened to Nathan, which makes her next stop a funeral.
