Fan Theories

• Claude will come back in this episode.
• 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 Brother's Keeper, 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.
  • Peter will replicate cloning in this episode.
• 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 Samuel's ability.
• Peter will absorb Samuel's ability in order to kill him.
• Isaac Mendez un-come-true paintings will come true.
• Peter's 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.
• Sylar will be killed.
• Noah will be killed by Samuel.
• Rebel will be shown in this episode.
• All of the evolved humans will get into a fight and it will all end with Peter as the only one standing. This will also be the last episode of the Heroes series.
• Noah and Lauren will kill Eli.
• Hiro will find Charlie dead.
  • Hiro will find old Charlie
• Sylar, due to his empathic ability and new-found desire to help people, will become the new leader of the carnival.
• Ando will attack Samuel with his red lightning, and Samuel's ability will go out of control, which will cause massive destruction to Earth.
• The future from Volume 3 where Ando seemingly kills Hiro will finally come to pass.
• All of the following will happen in some manner through the plot:
  • Sylar will use his powers to fight off the carnival members in order to free Emma before she uses her abilities in order to kill thousands of people gathered in Central Park. He will end up being one of the main people to face off against Samuel personally.
  • In order to get to the carnival, Peter and Sylar will first face off against Eli either killing him or knocking him unconscious. Peter will help Sylar fend off against the carnival crew. He too will be on of the main people to face off against Samuel personally.
  • Claire and Noah will be rescued by Lauren. Claire will show off her ability in front of a live news crew, finally revealing to the world that "specials" exist.
  • Samuel will become enraged that his plans have failed so miserably, and so he will try to simply destroy everyone, but Hiro will arrive on the scene just in time (similar to his appearance in season 1 at the Kirby Plaza battle) only this time, he will succeed in stopping the villain, namely Samuel.
  • At the end of the episode, there will be a brief introduction to the next volume (with its title revealed) just as has happened with past final chapters, indicating that there will potentially be a season 5.
