Fan Theories

• Claude will come back in this episode.
  • Claude has stated "It's a brave new world friend." It would seem fit for him to return.
    • Claude will never come back, and it is silly to assume that he will, based upon a little line of dialogue
• The world, or part of it, will suffer a huge catastrophe; changing the future forever.
  • Following the catastrophe, Hiro will become the badass Hiro we witnessed in the first season to seek revenge on those who caused it.
• The world will now know that people with special abilities exist.
  • Samuel will announce to the world that specials exist.
• After some major event, the story timeline will leap forward a significant amount of time into the "future", making the "future" characters the main characters.
• Samuel will use his amplified powers and create a 'country' or continent through breaking away the earth and rocks...as hinted at in Once Upon A Time In Texas, when Suresh discussed the changing landscape of the world.
  • This will separate many of the people with abilities from the rest of the world.
• This episode will feature Ando, who will supercharge Samuel and destroy the world. Hiro will teleport to the past just before it happens and try to prevent this next season.
• This will be the last episode of the series and will have evolved humans being announced to the world. The show will end with lines something like: "It's time to face this brave new world."
• The episode will end with the heroes being unable to stop Samuel's new continent from forming, resulting in a "brave new world" where evil has triumphed over good.
• The episode title is a throwback to Huxley's BNW, and will focus on Eli's ability.
• Hiro will go back in time and kill Sylar/Adam/[Other highly significant character], thus creating a "new world" in the mainstream timeline.
• Hiro and Suresh will die by the hands of Ando as he supercharges their abilities too much; this will be an altered future of Ando killing Hiro in Japan, like Hiro saw when he went to the future in season 3.
• Samuel will be so outraged of his carny betrayal that will lose control of his ability.
  • Sylar will take Samuels Ability
    • Peter Will absorb Samuels Ability in order to kill him.
      • Isaac Mendez un-come-true paintings will come true.
        • Peters dream about Emma killing people and Sylar killing Emma will come true.
          • They didn't show Sylar necessarily killing Emma. It's possible, given the new twist on his character arc, that he might actually help her, filling the role Nathan took in Season 1.
          • This will be the beggining of the end of the world.
• All the standout Carnies will be killed.
