About
Orientation
Samuel Sullivan speaks at his brother's funeral. He talks about the carnival, and how it offers sanctuary, peace and redemption for those who need it. He claims that the Carnival is a home for those who are gifted with extraordinary abilities. He goes on to say that they are all a family and that their home is the carnival. He tells his fallen brother to find his home and then uses his power to bury the grave.
Later, Edgar, Lydia and Samuel discuss the carnival and its promise for redemption. Samuel admits that he left out the part about their vengeance and tells Edgar that they will exact their revenge on those who crossed the line and hunted them. Samuel also visits Arnold, who is surprised to hear that after so many years, they will finally stop running.
In Tokyo, Hiro and Ando find a photo of themselves and Kimiko at the carnival fourteen years ago. Ando tells Hiro that the carnival ruined his chances of finding love with Kimiko.
Jump, Push, Fall
Hiro Nakamura time travels back fourteen years to the carnival, specifically to the night when Ando's relationship with Kimiko was ruined. Samuel approaches Hiro and talks to him about the carnival, redemption and his own abilities. He tells Hiro that he has the power to alter his past and then pushes him towards young Ando, making him return to the present.
In present time, Samuel once again meets with Lydia and Edgar. Edgar tells him that he met someone else with powers but didn't get a chance to talk to them about joining the carnival. Samuel tells him that he has put Hiro on the righteous path and then puts some ink into Lydia and watches as other faces appear. He tells Edgar that more and more new family members will be coming.

Samuel approaches Edgar, who is practicing his knife throwing act. Samuel tells him that as a family, they do not keep secrets from one another. He throws a knife and hits the target dead in the center, telling Edgar that he and Lydia are free to make mistakes.
Acceptance
Edgar and Lydia discuss the recent additions to the carnival and Edgar admits that he is uncomfortable with all the changes and he does not believe it would be happening if Joseph were alive. Samuel arrives and says that it is his decision. He pulls Lydia away and she shows him a tattoo of Noah Bennet. Samuel says that he thought Bennet was retired and that he would not be a problem for them but Lydia tells him that he may have changed his mind.
Heroes Evolutions
Virtual Tour
A virtual tour of the Sullivan Bros. Carnival is available at NBC.com (sponsored by Sprint) as part of the Heroes Evolutions experience, in particular as part of the "The Time Is Now" story arc. Several interactive games are shown, though none are currently available:
- On September 28, 2009, the "Milk Can Toss" game was released. Players are shown a compass with a circle moving east to west which represents the ball's aim. After clicking to set the aim, a circle moves north and south to represent the ball's strength. Clicking when the circles are exactly in the middle of the compass usually causes the ball to knock over all four milk cans. If all four milk cans are knocked over, the player is given another ball. The game continues until the player knocks over less than four of the milk cans.
- A Sprint Palm Prē is displayed. Clicking on it shows the message "There are things hidden about the carnival. Bo LoFontaine is hiding something about neworleans.".
- The Fish Bowl Toss ("out of order; service resumes Oct. 19th")
- Test Your Strength, Hit the Bell ("coming soon; check back Nov. 2nd")
- Dinner table set up near carnival trailers
Faction Zero
In chapter 5 of Faction Zero, Rachel watches Gail, Chris, Jennie, Sabine, Callum, and others outside their trailers at the carnival. The fire breathing family are doing what they do best.
Slow Burn
In chapter 1 of Slow Burn, Gail, Chris, and Jennie all start to assimilate into their new lives at the carnival. Gail becomes friends with Lydia, who tells her that helping the carnival will probably help her family. Jennie becomes popular amongst the other kids in the carnival. Chris does not trust the other members of the carnival and speaks with several other members. The other members insist that the Carnival offers salvation from the outside world and that their lives have never been better.
In chapter 2 of Slow Burn, Jennie overhears her parents arguing about the Carnival. She is fearful that she will have to leave the carnival, which she loves being a part of. Jennie wanders around the carnival, coming across her friends, Lydia and a new friend. Deeana doesn't believe that the Carnival is anything special and just assumes that Jennie's fire breathing technique is just a trick. Jennie also meets The Watcher, who informs her parents that he has been watching them the moment they stepped foot inside the carnival.
