Back-to-back epsides start of the fourth season of Hiros on Monday, September 21 on NBC. First "Orientation".

"Redemption makes a special two-hour debut with the introduction of a mysterious carnival clan whose intentions are unknown, while familiar faces adjust to new stages of their lives that will challenge their perceptions of the world and their abilities. Robert Knepper joins the cast. Ray Park, Zeljko Ivanek, Madeline Zima, and Dawn Olivieri guest star."

Expect a couple new faces. The first, Prudence is an young Asian girl who was brought up in the carnival. Earnie, an elderly dying man is also introduced and he appears to be from a carnival as well. We'll also meet the young Hiro and a young Ando.

Following the first epside, "Jump, Push, Fall" airs. The synopsis for this episode reads, "Claire garners attention at college following an odd death in the fourth-season premiere. Elsewhere, Angela worries Nathan will discover his real identity; Matt has a surprise visitor; Tracy and Noah team up to investigate a crime; and a friend asks Peter for help."

Some of the theories regarding this episode includes references to the episode title. "Jump" may refer to Hiro's abilities to jump through time; "Push" may refer to Sylar's power of telekeinisis; and "Fall" refers to Danko's fall from grace. Another theory is simply that the title refers to an apparent suicide where Claire is involved in some way.
