At the hospital, Mossy/Grassy is being checked out. Emma tells Samuel his infection will be gone in a few days and Samuel's so grateful to her for helping get him in. She says it's easy to do when you're a file clerk. Samuel tells her if she ever wants to help more, they could use a doctor and a siren where he lives. He gives her a compass, which starts spinning. He tells her to find her direction. She says she will. As she walks off, Mossy/Grassy tells Samuel that Emma's different like him, but Samuel corrects him that they're not different, they're special. Mossy/Grassy's always felt alone in the world, and Samuel says many of them feel that way, but not for long. "Let's go home." As they walk out, there's a live newscast of "Breaking News": Nathan's plane crashed and he's dead. Oh, and he was the pilot and only person on the plane. Samuel looks serious about it, but I can't tell why he cares. Maybe he wonders if Sylar really might have died?
Doyle still has Claire up against the trailer, but she knows he's getting weak or he would have forced her mouth shut. He tells her not to tempt him, but he is visibly weakening. Apparently being at this place where he doesn't need to use his powers all the time has lowered his endurance or something? Because remember when he held Claire, Sandra, and Meredith for practically a whole episode? Claire tells Doyle again that Samuel's up to something and is lying. Doyle says Samuel's a good man; he's sure because he's good now and hasn't done anything bad since he got here. You know, other than pinning the occasional teenage girl against a trailer. Doyle says that Joseph set him straight and taught him what was good and true about his ability. Interesting that Joseph would bring heroes to the carnival knowing that they'd increase Samuel's power. It also makes me wonder if Micah helped get people to the carnival since he's the one who told Claire how to help Doyle when she sent him off to his new life. Claire asks if Joseph's Samuel's brother, and Doyle says he didn't want to let Samuel in at first but Samuel convinced him. Claire tells Doyle she doesn't want to destroy this place, but if Samuel's putting people in danger, that's a problem. Doyle lets her go and tells her to talk to Lydia; she knows. She thanks him and heads off.
