It starts with a funeral, Samuel Sullivan(terra mover aka earth bender) lost his brother Josef and now is in search of someone to replace him in a sense. Samuel is the head of a clan that lives in the circus and freely uses their powers in the community. While a tad less creative it definitely adds color to the show. Back in the city we find Noah almost drowning in a car which later leads to him making a deal with Tracy to help get her old life back. Now while Tracy had the right to have a vendetta against every person involved in Building 26, I think it was more of a lead in thing that led to the introduction of the compass storyline and Tracy's beaten path of figuring out what she really wants to do with the rest of her free life. Meanwhile Claire is facing college life with a over-achiever room mate who ends up dead, supposedly suicide. Yet in the midst of this she is able to make a friend who inevitably finds out her secret! Not too much of a shocker but it's one of those necessary reliable conflicts that writers rely on. Anyways Peter is Peter, he has sorta of excluded himself from the rest of the "Heroes" and is drowning himself in his work as an EMT, using Mohinder's strength to aid him. But inspite of all of this he gets involved with Noah and gains speed from Edgar, a carny who has a things for knives, to further his progress in helping the world with his powers.
What has to be by far the most entertaining scenes (even thou gh I hate to say it), are the ones involving Sylar and Matt. This season Matt attempts to enjoy domestic bliss but is hindered by a certain consciousness. You see, last season Matt was involved in some funny business with Angela and HRG in which he used his power for unintended purposes when he pushed Sylars consciousness out of his body i n exchange's for Nathans. Anyways since Sylar's body thinks it's Nathan, Sylar's consciousness pops up in Matt's domestic bliss with his snarky comments and twisted thoughts.
4.03 "Ink"
So Claire, did something stupid and her new friend is aware of her secret but instead of letting her dad Haitan Gretchen, she decides that its best that she should be in the know.
In Peter's world he encounters a deaf women, that hides away in the file room with the ability of hysterical blindness. She has the ability to visual sound breaks. Which I have to say is probably one of the more creative powers that the writers have come up with. Maybe I'm just a sucker for the aura borealises floating through the air. It's even cooler when she's angry or let's her emotions show.
Finally in the Sylar department he's finally figured out a way to gain some control over Matt's powers and first causes some serious damage in a case involving drugs and eventually get's Matt to break his abstinence from his powers. Which truly found contrite, seriously if you have an ability its meant to be used. Especially in the field that Matt Parkman exists in.
4.04 "Acceptance"
I forgot to mention what is happening in Japan! So Hiro and Ando started a dial a hero company in attempts to help the world. You know Hiro, with his childlike outlook on the world, but there's a hitch in their plans. Hiro discovers that his ability to control spac e and time is killing him and he has very little time left. And instead of quitting time traveling he decides to fix the mistakes he's made in his life after an encounter with Samuel. The first, being repairing the relationship between Ando and Hiro's sister. But the more he uses his powers the less control he has and begins to jump through time a blink from him.
Also Tracy makes moves to get her old job and life back but in doing so she discovers that it isn't exactly what she wants. That's the just the way life goes sometimes. Particularly after going through a Holocust-esque event. Tracy turns out to not be as superficial as h er previous Building 26 experiences and truly desires to help people through the tools of soc iety.
Finally, with some push from Angela, "Nathan" begins to remeber things with the use of Sylar's historical remembrance powers and discovers a cover up involving an old girlfriend's death. In the end it leads to the murder of "Nathan," but seeing as Sylar can he al, he does remain dead for long but instead returns in the form of Sylar with extreme amnesia.
4.05 "Hysterical Blindness"
It turns out the circus clan has a strong prescence in all facets of life. Surprisingly we discover that Becky, is Samuel's niece and has been using her invisibility to cause problems in Claire's problems. But unforeseen to her and is Gretchen, Claire's replacement roommate has a crush on Claire, which really was just the executives of the show's attempt at boosting ratings. But I am sincerely glad that it didn't turn into anything further, yet at the same ti me am disappointed at the lame attempt and waist of air time.
After Sylar/Nathan awakes in a shallow grave and wanders upon a police station. He discovers that he has no memories whatsoever. So when the police finally realize that he is Gabriel Gray and killed his mother things go south. He doesn't kill anyone but he does flee and in his fleeing he discovers the circus and is gladly welcomed by Samuel.
4.06 "Tabula Rasa"
After Sylar has found his way to the circus, it is made clear that he isn't haven't the proper memories and Samuel does his best to coax out the real Sylar. If it were I, Sylar would not be welcomed. I mean there are too many people there for him to harvest. Anyways, Hiro unconsciously travels to NY and is admitted at the hospital Peter works out and aids in building up Emma, in her ability. While Peter and HRG set out to find a healer to rid Hiro of his brain tumor.
4.07 "Strange Attractors"
To say the least Peter and HRG find a distraught teen who found the opposite of his powers when his emotions get the best of him. Everything that seems to sur round him portrays death. And what else could be expected when his powers weren't cultivated and he had a dismal teenage life. While HRG attempts to help the boy it leads to the cops through him in jail and treating him badly. Even so badly that after he kills another citizen by touch he is dragged around town with chains behind a truck.
While in California Claire deals with the aftermath of Gretchen's feelings during a sorority scavenger hunt in a slaughter house. Though it is meant to scare the crap out of the girls, the true guise of this hunt is to further separate Claire from feeling belong or like she has grasped normalcy. In the end, Becky gets caught using the dangerous apparatuses to attack Gretchen along with outing both her and Claire secret.
Now, Matt seems to have had enough of Sylar's pervasiveness in his life and battles with Sylar through a common drug--liquor. The more Matt drinks the more Sylar seems to fade away.

oh good grief....lol
what can i say, it does sound better. not enough that i'll ever start watching it again, but it's good that you're enjoying it.
i have to ask though, is Nathan really dead? like, is that actor still around? i'm confused
the actor is still around, because Sylar's body has shape shifting abilities and thinks that it's Nathan. If you do watch check out the worth watching list, I dont think you'll be disappointed. Plus u could skip through and see all the good parts. Seriously, Matt and Sylar are where its at.
