Character History
Genesis
Mrs. Bennet has dinner with her two children. When she asks about their days, Lyle says he saw a homeless man that he and his friends thought was dead. Claire then tells her that she walked through fire, but didn't get burned. Mrs. Bennet thinks Claire is speaking metaphorically and praises her for her bravery.
Later, she asks Claire to accompany her to the mall that weekend and Claire agrees. Mrs. Bennet believes that Claire thinks she's trying to be her best friend again, but Claire reassures her. The two then have a heart-to heart talk about the importance of knowing who you are, and Claire asks her mother about her birth parents.
Hiros
As Claire is wheeled into the emergency room, Mrs. Bennet looks on in despair. She calls Mr. Bennet on his cell phone to tell him of the accident.
Better Halves
Claire and Sandra are baking cupcakes when Mr. Bennet tells Claire he has arranged a meeting with her birth parents. Sandra initially objects, but Mr. Bennet says it's up to Claire. Sandra welcomes the couple into the house, and leads Mr. Bennet out of the room to get drinks so Claire can spend some time alone with them. She and Mr. Bennet eavesdrop from the next room but are found out when Mr. Bennet's cell phone rings.
Later, while discussing the visit with Claire, Sandra mentions how odd it is that Mr. Bennet was able to locate Hank and Lisa so quickly this time. She says they attempted to find her biological parents when Claire was young and they believed she had a congenital disorder, but had no luck finding them whatsoever.
Homecoming
When Mr. Bennet grounds Claire for punching Jackie Wilcox, her mother tells him that Claire's "going to hate you for a long time on this one." Her father smiles knowingly and replies, "Let's hope so."
Later, Mr. Bennet asks her where Claire is and says that she's gone. She tells him that she saw Claire and Zach running out across the lawn about ten minutes prior. He asks why she didn't try to stop her and she explains that she feels he was being way too harsh in his punishment. He tells her she doesn't know what she's done and storms out the house telling her to call him immediately if she hears from Claire.
Six Months Ago
Mrs. Bennet drives Claire and Jackie to the hospital to get stiches for Claire's cut hand.
Fallout
Claire looks for her mother, but she is not to be seen the entire episode. The Haitian tells Claire that Mr. Bennet has asked him to modify Mrs. Bennet's memories from time to time.
