Homecoming

In Chennai, India, Mohinder and Nirand discuss the dreams Mohinder has been having, including finding out about his sister. Nirand says that children often bury information in their subconsciouses; he says Freud would say same thing.

Later, when Mohinder insists he has seen a boy in his dreams, Nirand insists that Freud would tell him the boy is merely a manifestation of Mohinder's subconscious.

Then, in a dream, Mohinder sees Nirand tell Chandra the same thing: Freud would tell Chandra that the boy is just part his subconscious.
