...control ink, but his actual described power is to control the earth. He wants to find someone to replace his dead brother within his entourage at the carnival. So he goes after Peter Petrelli by pretending to be someone he previously saved and suing him for injuries. They bond. And simultaneously we are introduced to a new character Emma, who is deaf but can apparently see sound in the form of colors. At the end, Samuel collapses a big fancy house into a sinkhole...
