Carnival. Samuel keeps making his sales pitch to Tracy, about how Jeremy could be accepted here, surrounded by family. They walk up to a fire-breather and Samuel asks if she remembers the first time she experienced her gift. Tracy: "Gift might be a little generous." He says the entire universe was coursing through her, and that wasn't just her ability. She was tapping into something greater than herself. She looks around, as he goes on that they're all connected. He gets a feeling every time someone joins the family. He says this is where Jeremy should be, and Tracy gets judgy: "What? Living in trailers? Drifting from town to town?" He reminds her that what she's going to have to do is give him a false name and a false life. He shouldn't have to be invisible (figuratively, I guess, since he'd sometimes be literally invisible at the carnival), so he should come home. He says Tracy could join him, since Samuel knows she's been lost, too. She tells him that's enough, and to take her back now. Sylar's in the distance, wearing a striped shirt and a straw fedora. He's clearly embraced the carnival life. He even appears to be picking a flea off his back when he notices Tracy. Obviously, his Nathan memories are kicking in and he recognizes her. Samuel gives Tracy a compass that he says will help her find her way back. He sends her off with Lydia, and then Sylar approaches him and says he knew her, and held her in his arms while he was flying. Samuel says they already talked about this: The memories he's having aren't his. Sylar wonders whose they are then, and then gives us the most obvious transition in the history of television: "And if the real me isn't in here ... where am I?"
