The carnies show their dissent towards Samuel for his destruction of an entire town and its inhabitants… Wanting a chance at redemption, Sylar asks Matt to take away his powers… Learning of her father’s search for Samuel, Claire rushes to the carnival to try and warn the carnies; but Samuel has other plans, and stages a fake shooting to frame Noah – a deception that ends in Lydia’s murder…
