Emma's apartment. She's arriving home after her long, stressful day or whatever. I don't care. She looks at the cello sitting there, which I think she must have stolen from that guy in the park. She starts playing, and continues to look puzzled at the colors all the while. She plays and plays, and I realize I actually miss Mohinder's narration over the awesome original theme music. I don't want all of this cello crap over the closing montage. Becky shows up invisibly at college and makes herself visible just in time to follow the new bids back to the sorority. She apparently has super-speed in addition to her invisibility. Peter's at his apartment, realizing he's more alone than ever. He says "So much for human connection," and then Hiro shows up (apparently he's been in suspended animation somewhere since he disappeared last episode and now he's finally materialized here) and says, "Peter Petrelli?" He smiles sweetly, and Peter's like, "Hiro?" Hiro collapses and Peter runs to him. Emma keeps playing until the sound colors makes some sort of laser power and slices her wall in half.
Sylar's still running through the woods as barking dogs pursue him. He stumbles out of the woods into the scene we glimpsed of him in the first episode. Carnival music picks up and he's lit up by the lights as Samuel stands outside the carnival and beckons him to come. He looks confused, but realizes it's the dogs and cops or this guy. They go through the carnival gates together. When the cops and dogs get to the top of the hill and look down, there's a giant, empty field. They wonder where he could have gone, because the carnival's apparently only visible to heroes? Or it's cloaked in invisibility? Or Samuel's used his ground-shifting to move it already. Sylar's still panicked, but Samuel tells him, "It's okay, brother. You're safe here." So, maybe Joseph's not his real brother and he just calls people that randomly? Sylar: "Where exactly is here?" Samuel: "Home." We get a final shot of the Zipper (best ride ever) and then a close-up of Sylar's face, looking like he could actually be happy here, because home is where the Zipper is, after all, whether at the edge of a forest, next to a canyon, or in a big field near a funeral.
