But oh, no, we are not done yet (if only). Instead, it's "Volume Six: Brave New World." How cute is it that the showrunners think this show is coming back? Anyway, Emma and Peter reunite and hug sweetly. Why didn't they pursue that relationship this season? He touches her face and asks if she's okay. She says it was a man named Doyle who made her play, but Peter's friend took care of him. She leads him into Doyle's tent, where Sylar has Doyle tied up in lights, which he plugs in and turns on. He asks Peter what he thinks, and Sylar says, "I like it." Peter looks at him, with no facial expression that tells us anything. Outside the tent, HRG asks Claire, who's back, if the heroes are all okay. She says Hiro's taking care of them so they'll be fine. Samuel's handcuffed and being put in a car and Claire asks if it's a new company. HRG: "An old one. Lauren called in some favors." I'm guessing the CIA, then? She's telling the media there was a gas main rupture and the rest was special effects put on by a very gifted showman. Claire says HRG still can't see a future where they all get to live out in the open. She asks how long they can keep this under wraps. The news cameras come and ask them what they saw, and HRG says "No comment." She says, "What he said."
HRG smiles and they start to walk away, but one of the newsmen asks her if she's sure, since it looks like she has something to say. She says that actually, she does. She tells HRG he's right, that people don't change. She asks the newsmen if they want to really know what happened here tonight, and then, "Keep the cameras on me." The news anchors are like, "Keep the cameras on her," as she runs off and starts climbing the Ferris wheel. Lauren asks what she's doing, and HRG replies, "Breaking my heart." A "journalist" asks her cameraman if he's getting this, as if anything is happening other than a girl climbing a Ferris wheel. Hiro and Ando return, too, and Ando asks if he's ready to go home. Hiro says, "Finally." Then he sees Claire and asks, "What is she doing?" Ambiguously Gay Duo. Sylar says it's amazing how when he saved her, he didn't have a thought for Doyle and could have killed him, but didn't. It's very funny because Sylar just talks and talks, like always, and Peter seems as uninterested in it as I usually am. To be fair, he's watching Claire and asks, "What the hell does she thinks she's doing? She's gonna change everything." Sylar says, "That's right." Then he whispers, "It's a brave new world." She reaches the top and HRG watches, with a slight shake of his head and tears as she looks down at him and then jumps. She stands up and the cameras zoom in on her. It's a nice callback to the premiere, as she looks at a camera and says, "My name is Claire Bennet and this is attempt number..." She laughs a little and says, "I guess I've kind of lost count."
