Theory	Citations	Notes
Lydia is going turn against Samuel.	In both Orientation and Jump, Push, Fall, her reaction towards Samuel seems off.	+ She looks at Samuel in a way she wants to leave. • That's highly debatable.
Lydia will discover that Nathan is actually Sylar.	None	+ Her ability is as-of-yet not understood, but she appears to know who people are after their images are put on her back. + If Sylar's face appears on her back again, then Samuel will know that he has not found Sylar.
Lydia loves Edgar.	She saw what Edgar desired in Stolen Fate.	+ Lydia and Edgar both work at the Sullivan Bros. Carnival and seem to dislike what Samuel is doing. - Similar occupations and views on authority do not constitute a romantic connection. - She has been shown flirting with Sylar.
Lydia can only use her ability through a medium.	None	+ She has only ever been shown using her ability either with Samuel's tattoos, or the fortune teller's crystal ball.
Lydia will be Noah Gray's mother.	None	+ She is the current love interest of Gabriel Gray. - Lydia is only getting to know Sylar on Samuel's orders. + She could still fall for him. - Edgar is interested in her as well, and she seems to reciprocate his feelings. + Sylar could kill him. - He's not a murderer anymore. - Killing Edgar would turn Lydia away. + Not if he manages not to draw suspicion to himself, or frame someone else. + Elle, who was supposed to be Noah Gray's mother is dead. + Claire's father was murdered by Sylar. It is unlikely that she will be the mother. + BTE has said both the explosion future and outbreak futures are coming true, but in a different way. That could mean Sylar has a younger son called Noah.

It looks like she can find (or at least sense) people even if they are in another time. + Lydia doesn't like Samuel and his "desperate measures". - Lydia was the one to suggest manipulating Hiro using Charlie. + But she opposed against using Arnold, and she may want to avenge his death. + Lydia might have believed Samuel would take Charlie only to make Hiro join the Carnival, not that he'd hold her hostage.
Lydia dated Trevor.	None	+ Trevor resembles Amanda's father. + Trevor is arrogant and the kind of man who tries to impress people like Elle. • Trevor acted showy because Elle asked him to demonstrate his powers, it'd be arrogant if he did it of his own accord. + Trevor is the right age to be Amanda's father.
