About

One Giant Leap

Mohinder finds Chandra's journal at the Brooklyn residence. Inside the journal, there is a list of names of people that presumably have special abilities. Sylar's name and address are among the listed.

Homecoming

After his encounters with Sanjog Iyer, Mohinder Suresh returns to his father's office at Chennai University still questioning whether he should continue with his father's research. The algorithm is still scrolling on the computer screen, overlaid with the "Do You Want to Quit?" prompt. Ultimately, Mohinder selects "no" and is asked for a password. After a few tries, he enters "Shanti", his dead sister's name. At once, the algorithm vanishes, and is replaced by a list of identified evolved humans and their locations—several of whom are marked as "deceased".

Six Months Ago

Chandra Suresh arrives in New York, NY, and uses his list to track down the evolved humans. When attempting to contact Claire Bennet to inform her of her power, Chandra talks with Mr. Bennet, who is not pleased. Chandra's first positive test case was Gabriel Gray, who promises to work with Chandra to help him locate other evolved humans.

Fallout

At Mohinder's apartment in New York City, Mohinder speaks to someone on the phone and says that he faxed the list of evolved humans to "Quantico" yesterday. He appears worried, and asks why the people on the list haven't been warned, since six of them have already been killed by Sylar. Mohinder gets frustrated when the person he is talking with doesn't take the issue seriously enough and he hangs up. Mohinder finds a Post-It note with Isaac's name and address on it.

Godsend

In his apartment in New York City, Mohinder encounters Mr. Bennet. He asks if Bennet is there to get the list, which he says his father compiled using data from the Human Genome Project. Bennet asks if Mohinder will participate in his project to keep people who don't deserve special powers from abusing them, but Mohinder refuses. Bennet gives Mohinder a business card to use "when" he changes his mind.

The Fix

Nathen Petrelli pays a visit to Mohinder in his apartment. Mohinder tells Nathan that Chandra found 36 people containing the genetic makeup characteristic of evolved humans. He tells Nathan that Peter may be the most important person on the list.

Notes

"Who's on the list is a matter of grave importance."

• Because the Haitian's real name is unknown, he may actually be on the list.
• NBC's advertising tagline for Heroes — "Are you on the list?" — refers to this list.
• The large number of deceased people listed cannot be attributed to Sylar's murders. After all, the version of the list which Mohinder finds in Chandra's office predates his father's meeting with Gabriel Gray. This could indicate that Chandra's theory that the evolved powers are related to potentially fatal genetic defects like his daughter Shanti's is correct.
• The interactive map on NBC.com contains some additional (and even some conflicting) information about the people on the list. For example, "Pam Green" is listed as "Pan Green".
• It's unclear why Claire was on the list as Claire Bennet, and not under her birth name. If Chandra used birth records, then her inclusion under that name seems unlikely. However, if Chandra used medical records, her "genetic disorder" (Better Halves) may have led to her inclusion under her new name.

Trivia

• One of the names on the list is David Berman, which is the name of the actor who portrays Brian Davis in the show.
• Amid Halebi, the name of the Engineer from the original unaired pilot episode is also mentioned on the list.
• Curtis Hovsepian is listed as being from "Grant Pass, OR". Since there is no Grant Pass in Oregon, this should probably read "Grants Pass, OR".
• In The Fix, Mohinder Suresh states that the list contains 36 names. However, the names shown, plus the names of those confirmed as being on the list like Peter, total more than 36 names.
