Character History

Homecoming

By entering his sister Shanti's name as a password, Mohinder Suresh is able to unlock a list of evolved humans. Candice's name is included on that list, and she is stated as currently living in Clayton, New York.

Company Man

Candice monitors a sedated Matt Parkman. Mr. Bennet asks if she has an ability, to which Thompson replies that she is being developed and will "clean up" the mess Mr. Bennet made.

Parasite

Candice watches behind a window with Matt as Thompson interrogates Mr. Bennet in the medical facility at Primatech. As Matt tells Thompson that Mr. Bennet isn't lying, Candice tells Thompson that he owes her five bucks.

Later, at the Bennets' hotel room, Candice knocks at the door. When Mr. Bennet answers, she explains that he has another assignment. He closes the door, and she stops it with her boot. She enters, has a brief conversation with Sandra about the paper company, and compliments her hair.

In Isaac's apartment, a detective questions Isaac about Simone. Suddenly, Simone walks in, and the detective leaves, assuming everything is alright. Candice shows her true form. Following this, she cruelly taunts Isaac, becoming Simone again, complete with gunshot wounds.

In the Bennets' hotel room, Mr. Bennet talks to Sandra secretly about Claire and that they must pretend they know nothing. The phone rings and Sandra answers. Thompson emerges and Candice once again shows her true form and facetiously says, "Sorry."

While being held in a cell at Primatech Paper Co., Mr. Bennet gets a visit from an unexpected person -- Claire. Dressed in her cheerleading uniform, she runs into his arms and says that she tried to do what he told her but that The Company still managed to get her. Bennet, knowing that Claire isn't acting normal and wouldn't be dressed the way she is, pushes her away. Claire is revealed to be only an illusion and Candice's true form appears. Thompson arrives and tells her to leave; she does so only after menacing Bennet with the prospect of visions that "would make you want to tear your eyes out." After she goes, Mr. Bennet tells Thompson that he knows who Candice is and what she can do.

Jessica Sanders prepares to take Micah to Mr. Linderman, when Linderman arrives at their home. He asks Micah if he would like to "save the world". Jessica smiles and stays behind while Linderman takes Micah. Once they leave, the illusion of Jessica transforms back into Candice. When the real Jessica arrives, Candice leaves, but not before slyly complimenting Jessica on her "cute car".

The Hard Part

Candice, frustrated with her "babysitting" job, calls Linderman to talk about the possibility of being reassigned. She continues to impersonate Niki. When Micah, growing suspicious, tries to escape, Candice changes the appearance of the corridors such that he cannot find a way out. She then reveals herself to Micah, and threatens to show him many terrible things if he does not cooperate.

Powers

Candice has the power of illusion. She is able to alter how people perceive reality around her. She can use this to 'become' other people or even things and affect how they see the world.
