"The Wall" is the seventeenth episode of the fourth season of the NBC science fiction drama series Heroes, and the seventy-sixth episode overall. The episode aired on February 1, 2010.
Lauren Gilmore enters the carnival in order to find some medical supplies to clean her bullet wound when she is confronted by Emma Coolidge who begins to tend to her wound. She reveals that she came with the intent to stop Samuel Sullivan whom she tells Emma has done very bad things and has manipulated the people of the carnival like the guru of a cult. When Samuel approaches to visit Emma, Lauren hides, only to have Emma tell Samuel she is there. When Samuel confronts her, he gets Eli to deal with her, but she escapes.
Samuel still wishes for Claire Bennet to join his carnival family, so in one final move, he brings Claire to her father who is being held in the House of Mirrors. He then asks Damien to reveal to Claire Noah Bennet's past memories in hopes that by seeing these particular memories, she will lose all respect for her father and join him. As is revealed to her, back in 1985, Noah had another wife before Sandra named Kate. She was killed by a special with telekinesis and Noah was driven into a spiral of rage, causing him to spend the next year hunting the man and ends up killing another special. This catches the attention of The Company and leads him to join. Before some time with them, he develops some overly aggressive habits of psychotic depression and paranoia. In spite of all these things, Claire seems willing to forgive him until she is shown a recent memory of Noah confronting Gretchen Berg to persuade her under threat of memory erasure from the Haitian that she help push Claire into staying away from Samuel and in school to have a normal life. This prompts Claire to storm out of the House of Mirrors and confront Samuel. He is highly disappointed when in spite of all that she saw, she is still loyal to her father and decisively refuses to ever join the carnival family so long as he is in charge. As Samuel finally reunites her with her father again in the souvenir trailer, he uses his ability to trap them many feet underground as the carnival packs up to head to Central Park where he plans to reveal their abilities to the world and make them tremble in fear as they kill thousands of innocent people. As they are preparing to leave, Samuel sends Eli on a mission as he tells him that before she died, Lydia revealed to him the identity of two people who intend to interfere and thus must be stopped.
