House O' Bennet. Mrs. Bennet and her creepy pouf of a dog are enjoying the latest People magazine when Mr. Bennet walks in and demands to know where the hell Claire went. Mrs. Bennet cheerily tells him that she saw Claire and Zach creeping across the lawn just ten minutes ago. "She must have climbed out her window!" says Mrs. Bennet without looking at her husband. Hee. But also, STUPID. Bennet gets understandably pissed off at his wife. He reaches toward her, and I totally thought he was going to shake the shit out of her or smack her upside the head, but he just snatches the magazine out of her hands and tells her that she doesn't know what she's done. He runs out after his daughter.
India, Land of Dreams. And Snores. Mohinder's in the middle of yet another one of his useless and repetitive dreams. Dream Boy shows up and Moyawnder runs after him. He sees his father having a conversation with Furry about Dream Boy. Blah blah blah, he's a figment of your imagination, blee bloo blee, he's not, he's real, he can give me answers, blow blie blik, you're wasting your life, et cetera. Nap time, everyone! Furry tries to convince Papa Suresh that the Heroes research is a mistake and that he should let it go. Papa Suresh decides that his research is more important than his tenure at the university, so he tells Furry to go fuck himself.
Later in the dream that won't end, Moyawnder is watching as his father packs up his office belongings. He watches himself enter and wax rhapsodic about his father's book. Papa Suresh is all, what the hell are you doing with my book? Who told you that you could read it? Moyawnder's all, well, I've been reading on my own now since I was four -- I basically figured out that I could read it. And it's AWESOME. It's FAR more entertaining than my own dream! We learn that Moyawnder at one point wanted to join his father in the search for the Heroes but that his father forbade him to follow in his footsteps. Papa Suresh blathers something about how a man of science should have a heart of stone, something Moyawnder doesn't have. Dream Boy appears and tells Moyawnder that he has his answer.
