The psychic carny strolls past Lydia's trailer.
The psychic carny stands around Joseph's grave and listens to Samuel's speech.
After Samuel destroys a village, he angrily storms back to the carnival. The psychic carny watches as he sulkily goes into his trailer.
The psychic carny listens as Samuel prepares to turn himself over to Noah Bennet. She is among the carnies who stand around Samuel as he tells them the world will know who they really are.
The psychic carny listens in shocked silence when Claire, Noah, Edgar, and Eli reveal the truth about Samuel. She then walks away with the other carnies. Later, she is teleported to safety by Hiro and Ando.
Notes
- The psychic carny's ability is not actually known, but the actors of minor carnies decided to choose their own abilities. Erlene Garcia chose for her character to be psychic. She was also placed in a psychic booth on set.
- The carny's unusual attire and extreme make-up, for the most part, are actually part of Erlene Garcia's normal fashions.
- Erlene Garcia said that several of the directors referred to her as "Top Hat Girl".
- According to a blog post from Erlene Garcia, this carny wears one particular outfit that includes a vintage top hat, a necklace (designed by Erlene, which includes her great grandmother's image behind an antique chandelier crystal), and a vest (also designed by Erlene, which has pieces of sequin dresses and thrift shop fabrics). The top hat has tarot cards from Erlene's personal collection, prop tickets from the set of Heroes, and an American Indian feather to represent Erlene's heritage.
