EPISODE 8: MOHINDER'S STORY...

Mohinder scatters his father's ashes across the waters of Kanyakumari, India. Across the world, Isaac wakes up to find Eden talking care of him. "You'll be completely clean in no time," she tells him. "That mural on the floor, we're not going to let that happen." As she finishes shaving him, she tells him that she went through "the same thing myself."

Mohinder unpacks his things in his father's old office, finding a locked drawer. He's interrupted by Mira, an old girlfriend who once said some terrible things about his father's theories. She's been promoted at her company to head of genetic research and asks Mohinder to come in for an interview with the partners, but only if he makes sure his father's theories stay locked up where they belong.

In a dream, Mohinder recalls an argument he had with his father shortly before he took off to America to become a taxi driver. Mohinder tells his dad that he is a fool and is becoming a laughingstock over his theories, but Dr. Suresh doesn't care. He knows who will be shown up as the real fool. As they argue, Suresh notices a mysterious boy looking for a lost soccer ball.

Mohinder asks his mom about a dream where she told his father that he could "never take the place of her." His mom reveals that Mohinder had a sister named Shanti who died at the age of five, two years after Mohinder was born. Chandra Suresh was convinced that Shanti was special and never told Mohinder about her so his son wouldn't compare his father's love of him to his love for her.

Mohinder discovers the mysterious boy breaking into his father's locked drawer. Mohinder has a gruesome vision of his father's death in his New York cab. Standing outside the taxi, the kid points at Mohinder, snapping him out of this strange vision. Back in the office, the kid opens a palm and gives Mohinder a key. When Mohinder wakes up from this dream, he removes the same key found in his father's address book.

Mohinder opens the locked desk drawer, reaches in, and finds a secret files on sleep research and a picture of the mysterious boy that has been haunting him.
