Now that Sylar's officially back and in the arms of his newfound Carnie family, it's time to jumpstart the real Sylar courtesy of Samuel the barker in the
Heroes episode "Tabula Rasa." But before we move on to the preview,
here's what happened so far: Instead of recruiting Claire, the Carnies take in Sylar just in time to hide him from the cops. After some girl-on-girl action, Claire and Gretchen are welcomed into the sorority while Peter and Emma bond over their abilities. Hiro, on the other hand, teleports in Peter's apartment and collapses.
"Tabula Rasa," which refers to the mind before it receives the impressions gained from experience, is a fitting title for the sixth episode of the fourth season of
Heroes. Sylar begins his journey to find his identity and this proves to be favorable for Samuel, who clearly has an agenda of his own. Samuel knows about Sylar's abilities and history and is more than willing to help him regain his memories and experiences from the past, and finally discover the truth. But before that happens, we also see Sylar performing carnival duties though his presence causes more tension within the Carnie group. Edgar, in particular, seems to be threatened and is likely to give Sylar a sample of his knife throwing abilities.
While all that Carnie initiation takes place, we also see Hiro (Masi Oka) trying to help Emma (Deanne Bray) accept and understand the possibilities that come along with having an ability. And now that Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) knows about Hiro's dying condition, he enlists Noah's (Jack Coleman) help in attempt to find a healer who can save Hiro's life. Noah then finds a boy who has healing powers but the boy is reluctant to help since he thinks of himself as a killer.
