Kring recently gave an interview with fancast and there's Paire spoilers for when the show returns in January!!!
Previewing the show’s January 11 return (’Heroes’ will now air Mondays at 9/8c, leading out of ‘Chuck‘), Kring says that Samuel’s seemingly sinister plan will “crank up and build to a crescendo,” while Peter rebounds from Nathan’s final exit by seeking out Claire, who has just joined up with the carnival.
“They are able to sort of bond over the loss of their brother and father,” Kring says. “So you will see those stories start to collide.”
full interview is here.
that last part can be interpreted however you think. But I'm already working on a paire fanfic based on it. and I started it before this interview came out.
