Story Development
Synopsis
Outside of New York City, 86 hours ago, Peter meets with Noah on a deserted stretch of road. He tells Noah that he wants to see him, and Noah opens the trunk and reveals Nathan's dead body. Noah says he can handle it, but Peter insists on helping.
Now, at the wake at the Petrelli manor, Nathan's secretary Elizabeth extends her condolences to Peter about the death of his brother, and wonders if the authorities know anything about how the plane crash happened. Peter says they don't know anything.
At the Sullivan Bros. Carnival, Samuel is using his ability to create an image of an attractive woman. Suddenly [[Doyle}} comes flying through the air, shattering the table that Samuel was working on. Doyle apologizes, saying he tried to stop him. Samuel turns to find Sylar restored to his proper body. He tells Doyle to get everyone to safety, but not too far. Samuel then asks why Sylar didn't kill Doyle when he had the chance. Sylar says he'll get to him and the others in good time, and then tosses Samuel the compass he used to find his way back to the carnival. Sylar says that he has returned with one thought: feast. He uses telekinesis to slam Samuel against the side of his trailer, and explains how he plans to feed on them all and become more powerful. Samuel says he has big plans for Sylar, but Sylar dismisses his supposed concern and tries to cut open his skull. Concentrating, Samuel summons a cloud of dirt to grind Sylar down to the bone. The shock and pain knocks him unconscious.
In her dorm room, Claire is checking her eyelashes when there's a knock on the door. She answers and finds Noah there. He asks if she's doing okay and Claire admits she wasn't expecting to see him. He offers her a ride but she declines and says that he lied to her about what happened between Nathan and Sylar, and let her believe she was hugging and holding Nathan, her father, when it was actually Sylar. Noah admits that they did the wrong thing and she says she needs time alone to grieve properly without being reminded of what really happened.
Angela goes over to talk to Peter and says that it couldn't have been easy for him, covering things up with Noah. Peter says that he's doing better but she doesn't believe it. He snaps at her briefly and then admits that he wants to express his anger. She figures that he wants to take revenge on Sylar, but warns against it because revenge will get him killed. Angela admits she can't bear to lose him. Claire comes in and Peter goes to embrace her, and then ask her to come with him to the kitchen. He sends the caterers out and closes the door so they can have a break and cut up lemons and limes for the wake. When he notes Noah isn't there, Claire admits that she's pissed off. Peter says that he is as well, but figures they were just trying to protect them. Angry, Claire slips and cuts her finger. Peter examines it and they realize that it's not healing. Peter apologizes, remembering he has the Haitian's power to |neutralize powers. Ht offers to turn it off, but Claire tells him not to so she can experience the pain again. She talks about how they are there to remember Nathan, and how Nathan gave her grief for dating West, a guy who could fly. As they talk, Claire admits it feels nice to share stories about Nathan and asks if he has any. Peter chooses not to respond and goes back to the wake.
Noah arrives home, apparently unaware that Edgar is lurking outside the window. Once he turns away from the window, Edgar moves into the room and prepares to close in with his super speed. Noah spins and tasers him unconscious. He then takes Edgar downstairs to the sushi restaurant and the owner, Mr. Nozawa, lets him use the freezer. Noah then asks to have the entire restaurant for himself and pays the owner well. Lauren comes in and greets Mr. Nozawa, who he knows as the "Iron Maiden." Realizing that it's serious, Nozawa agrees to the arrangement and closes the restaurant. Noah explains that Claire didn't want him at the wake and admits that she's justified, and he isn't taking it personally. Lauren has the truth serum he requested, and Nathan explains that he's using the freezer to chill Edgar's muscles, and Quaaludes, to slow the speedster down and keep him prisoner. He opens the freezer and reveals Edgar, tied up. Noah insists that Edgar is going to tell them everything he knows about the carnival and prepares to administer the truth serum.
At the carnival, Lydia wonders why Samuel put Sylar in her trailer. He says that there's something wrong, and Sylar couldn't bring himself to kill Sylar and Doyle. He wants Lydia to find out what has changed so they can use it to their advantage. When Lydia objects, Samuel says that they all have to follow the rules, and he is having her do what she does best. He tells her not to disappoint him and leaves. Lydia smiles thoughtfully and then goes inside. She strokes the still unconscious Sylar, waking him. He grabs her and insists there's nothing wrong with him, but Lydia notes he couldn't kill Samuel. She offers to find out why. When Lydia tries to kiss him, he shies away briefly and she asks what he's afraid of. Sylar returns her embrace and Lydia gets empathic flashes. She realizes that he wants love but doesn't feel he deserves it. Sylar asks if she knows what he does to people like him. She admits that she does and he realizes that she can see people's desires and hopes. Sylar admits that he likes it and kisses her. He examines her tattoos, and Lydia explains that they're a map to find what he needs. Sylar figures that she wants to manipulate him into killing Samuel, and explains he can tell because he mimicked her power without killing her. Lydia notes that he can't kill because he's impotent, and Sylar shoves her away and leaves.
