After a long - some might refer to it as "utterly torturous" - season, Heroes finally concludes next week.

On the episode "Brave New World," Samuel finally does... something. So NBC claims, at least. It seems just as likely that he'll merely threaten to do something, as has been the case all season long.

We'll believe actual action when we see it, as Claire warns the carnival about their supposedly evil-intentioned leader in the clip below:

As always, we'll recap and review the installment soon after it airs. We can only hope to inspire the same sort of lively debate that this week's rundown created.

Below, check out a clip of another character from the season finale. We think his name is Hiro, but we can't be certain. We haven't seen him in so long...
