Theory	Citations	Notes
Lydia is going turn against Samuel.	In both Orientation and Jump, Push, Fall, her reaction towards Samuel seems off.	+ She looks at Samuel in a way she wants to leave. • That's highly debatable.
Lydia will discover that Nathan is actually Sylar.	None	+ Her ability is as-of-yet not understood, but she appears to know who people are after their images are put on her back. + If Sylar's face appears on her back again, then Samuel will know that he has not found Sylar.
Lydia loves Edgar.	She saw what Edgar desired in Stolen Fate.	+ Lydia and Edgar both work at the Sullivan Bros. Carnival and seem to dislike what Samuel is doing. - Similar occupations and views on authority do not constitute a romantic connection. • Since Lydia lives in the carnival, she cannot find a love interest elsewhere. - She has been shown flirting with Sylar. + Lydia respects Edgar much.
Lydia will be Noah Gray's mother.	None	+ She is the current love interest of Gabriel Gray. - Lydia is only getting to know Sylar on Samuel's orders. + She could still fall for him. - Edgar is interested in her as well, and she seems to reciprocate his feelings. + Sylar could kill him. - Killing Edgar would turn Lydia away. + Not if he manages not to draw suspicion to himself, or frame someone else. - Sylar escaped from the carnival, and Lydia didn't seem to care. + Elle, who was supposed to be Noah Gray's mother is dead. + Claire's father was murdered by Sylar. It is unlikely that she will be the mother. + BTE has said both the explosion future and outbreak futures are coming true, but in a different way. That could mean Sylar has a younger son called Noah. - Noah existed in a third possible future. - Lydia seems to be heavily invested in Edgar. In addition to this, Sylar has left the carnival and is no longer the same person (literally) as he was when they "flirted".
Lydia will help Hiro find and rescue Charlie.	None	+ Lydia was able to tell Charlie died three years ago. It looks like she can find (or at least sense) people even if they are in another time. + Lydia doesn't like Samuel and his "desperate measures". - Lydia was the one to suggest manipulating Hiro using Charlie. + But she opposed against using Arnold, and she may want to avenge his death. + Lydia might have believed Samuel would take Charlie only to make Hiro join the Carnival, not that he'd hold her hostage.
Lydia dated Trevor.	None	+ Trevor resembles Amanda's father. + Trevor is arrogant and the kind of man who tries to impress people like Elle. • Trevor acted showy because Elle asked him to demonstrate his powers, it'd be arrogant if he did it of his own accord. + Trevor is the right age to be Amanda's father. - Amanda is a teenager, Trevor looks like he is in his twenties, he's not old enough to be her father.
