Character History

Fight or Flight

Elle is at the docks talking to Will concerning the shipping container containing Peter. When he asks her why she's so interested in hims interested, she tells him that she works for a company, and they're interested in finding Peter since he's pretty dangerous. Will says he's at the Wandering Rocks, but asks if he is so dangerous, why they would send a little girl like her. Elle smiles as she walks away, causing sparks against the shipping containers and saying that she can "take care of herself".

Elle meets Ricky at the Wandering Rocks and shows him Peter's picture and asks if he's seen him. He says he hasn't but Elle is not convinced saying that "Either you are lying or everyone else is lying, kinda hard to tell who it is". When Ricky still refuses to acknowledge that he has seen Peter, she feigns leaving. She instead walks over to the door, locks it and welds it shut with her power. She then proceeds to send a huge bolt of electricity at Ricky.

Later, in her car, Elle answers her cell phone. She tells the person on the other end, that Peter is indeed in Ireland and she is closing in on him. She gets ask what 'methods' she used, and she admits to killing Ricky, saying that "he was just some guy". The person on the other end is not happy about this and immediately tells her to come home. She is furious about this and says that she wont kill anyone else. The other person remains steadfast on his decision however. She ends the conversation by saying "Sorry Daddy" and drives off.

Four Months Ago...

When Peter has just emerged from his Invisibility after dropping Nathan off at a hospital, Elle fires a large bolt of electricity at him, knocking him unconscious. When asked by Bob whether she had to use a 'full blast' on him, she smiles and replies that "he can take it".

Elle wakes Peter up by shocking him with small bolts of electricity. She and Bob assure Peter that Nathan is fine and that they have a 'cure' for him.

When Peter has been admitted to the facility, she gives him a haircut and tells him to take what she calls "Haitian pills" to help him control his powers. She then walks out after zapping him, saying that he'll "get used to it, and then start to like it".

Two months later, Elle visits Peter but he says that he is not in the mood. She replies that she'll "up the dose". He relents and she shocks his fingers in a 'sadistic lighting' ritual. Peter then says that he doesn't know anything about her. She avoids the question however, saying that she liked him better when he just lied there. He then accuses her of always wanting to be in control. She then recounts her sad past, which includes: burning down her grandmother's house when she was six, causing a multi-county blackout in Ohio when she was 8, spending her ninth birthday in glass room with and IV of lithium in her arm, living in the building they were standing in for sixteen years after being diagnosed a sociopath with paranoid delusions, never going on a roller-coaster, swimming or a date.

Next month, she again visits Peter's cell delivering fresh clothes and pills. Peter is surprised that she doesn't want to shock him to fulfill her sadistic urge. She then turns around eagerly, asking if he wants one, he says that he's starting to like them like she said. She tries to shock his fingers, but ends up kissing him and shocking him with her mouth. She then says "Is that enough fun for one day?" and walks out.

At a New York shipping yard, she and The Haitian, meet up with Peter and Adam who recently escaped the company's facility. A visually angry Elle says that she is "disappointed" in Peter and fires full force bolts of electricity at Adam, who gets slammed into the side of a wall and Peter, whose shirt catches on fire. She then yells at The Haitian to chase after Peter, while she runs after Adam.

Cautionary Tales

Bob plans a mission with Mohinder and Elle to grab Claire and in the process, and succeeds in reaching her at her house. Meanwhile, his daughter Elle who encounters Noah, is knocked out by West who flies in and slams her against the car. Elle is strapped and placed in water, preventing her from using her powers and incidentally electrocuting herself. Bob takes some of Claire's blood and receives a call from Noah that he will kill Elle if Bob doesn't give Claire back. Outside Costa Verde, Bob is present at the tradeoff with Elle and Claire being swapped. As soon as West flies Claire away, Elle shoots West and Claire, sending them plummeting to the ground, and Noah shoots Elle in the arm. Bob attends to Elle and Noah points the gun at his head. Just before he can pull the trigger, Mohinder shoots Noah in the eye, just as depicted in the series of eight paintings by Isaac Mendez. Elle wraps her arm to heal her gunshot wound.
