Character History
Don't Look Back
Mohinder Suresh returns to his father's apartment in Brooklyn to find a man posing as an exterminator in a jumpsuit, attempting to plant an eavesdropping device. After a brief struggle, the man pulls a gun on Mohinder, but collides with Eden. The phony exterminator loses his gun to Eden in the hallway while attempting to flee. Eden quickly realizes the man is not who he claims to be (since he is wearing a gun holster), but the man escapes.
Godsend
Mohinder accuses Mr. Bennet of using the phony exterminator to bug his phone.
Graphic Novel:The Kill Squad, Part 1
While providing backup for Thompson, Jr. and Donna Dunlap, Tom recalls that he ran backup for Agent Spektor.
In a flashback at Lake Ramsey, Ontario, Sean and Tom, under Company orders, dump Eden McCain's body. Tom questions the mission as he mourns Eden. He states that, after the Suresh wiretap job, he was to be promoted with Eden as his partner.
Back in the present, Tom follows Sean and the rest of the team to investigate an explosion. They find Thompson Jr. and Donna on the floor motionless, and their target, Lewis, raging.
Graphic Novel:The Kill Squad, Part 2
Sean Fallon orders the team to open fire. Lewis sends his thick roots into the ground, and the squad's attack is unsuccessful. Tom tells Sean to cover him while he tries to take down Lewis but is knocked unconscious by the roots. Sean takes his gun and charges Lewis. After Sean kills Lewis, Tom wakes up and tells Sean that all of the other members of their team are dead.
