Synopsis

Part 1

Lydia watches one of her tattoos form on her right arm. Edgar walks into her trailer, gives her a package, and warns her about the risk she is taking in having a phone. Lydia explains that she has a daughter, and she believes her daughter may be in trouble. Lydia tells Edgar that she left her daughter when she was a teenager because she was too young, scared, and different. Lydia left her daughter at her sister's house, and then ran, and ended up at the circus. Edgar assures her that it's going to be okay, but Lydia shows him her tattoo. It is a tattoo of her daughter, surrounded by what appears to be fire. Lydia insists that something is happening to her, she can feel it. Lydia says she needs to talk to her daughter, and Edgar excuses himself from the trailer.

Meanwhile, outside the trailer, Caleb watches Edgar leave. Caleb turns to Samuel and tells him how glad he is that Samuel is back. He also tells him that Edgar has been spending a lot of time in Lydia's trailer. Samuel thanks Caleb and tells him that now he knows just what to do.

Part 2

Samuel approaches Edgar and says that he's noticed Lydia seems unhappy. Samuel asks Edgar if he has noticed anything wrong with Lydia. Edgar says he hasn't and Samuel suggests that Lydia is distracted and unsatisfied. He leaves Edgar with a comment that both he and Lydia can make their own mistakes.

Meanwhile, in Lydia's trailer, Lydia makes a call to her daughter, Amanda, and reveals to her that she is her mother. Lydia explains that she felt Carol was the best person to take care of Amanda, and that Amanda would be safe with her. Amanda tells Lydia that she's not safe because she "can't control it". She tells Lydia that she can burn things with her mind. Lydia tells her that she is not a freak but her daughter. Amanda is comforted by this but hangs up as her aunt Carol knocks on her door.

Notes

• Slow Burn is officially called "tagged media". This is a euphemism for a webisode, but means that it can be used as promotional material, too. Indeed, the first third of each part of Slow Burn is shown as a commercial during the airing of a Heroes episode. Then, the entire 90-second clip is shown on NBC.com. Each part accompanies a new chapter of the iStory Slow Burn.
