Character History

Seven Minutes to Midnight

Mohinder returns home to scatter his father's ashes in Kanyakumari, India with his mother. Later, he has an unusual dream about his parents. In it, his mother convinces her husband Chandra, who is having second thoughts, to go to New York to pursue his research. She tells Chandra that Mohinder will "never take her place" in Chandra's eyes.

At her home in Madras, Mohinder questions his mother about the dream. She admits that the conversation he saw did take place, and that she did persude her husband to go through with his plan. When he asks whose place she meant Mohinder would never take in his father's eyes, she tells him he had an older sister, Shanti, who died when she was five and Mohinder was two, and that his father loved her very much because she was "special".

Homecoming

Mohinder's mother tells him that she heard from Mira that he turned down the job offer and is returning to New York. She tells him that Chandra didn't tell him that he succeeded in finding the evolved humans because he wanted Mohinder to live his own life. Mohinder tells his mother that he's going to find them and tell them who they are and warm them of the dangers. She worries who will protect him.
