Simon thinks they should tell them so that they can prepare. Simon suggests that the new U.S. President, Elias Martinez, may be willing to help them. Sophia tells him that Martinez won't be allowed to find out about Mount Inostranka. Simon tells her that he'll make sure that he finds out. Sophia tells Simon that as her main line to the outside world, that he must do his part to calm the doubts of the ones on the outside.

I Haven't Told You Everything[]

On September 20, 2010, at the Presidential Retreat in Miami, Florida, President Martinez asks Sophia if she is ready for the press conference where they will tell the world about the existence of Sophia's people at Mount Inostranka, which he is planning to close down and set her people free. The conference is interrupted by Avias Airways Flight 514, which is on a collision course with the house. Sophia, along with everyone present was saved by a wormhole-like portal. After it disappears, Sophia states that "they saved us." When Martinez asks her who saved them, she looks at him and says, "I haven't told you everything." ("I Haven't Told You Everything")

To Keep Us Safe[]

After the plane disappears through the portal, Sophia is put into an SUV and taken to secure facility. Soon after Blake Sterling puts Sophia in a holding cell Elias questioned her about the incident but she refuses to explain. She only tells him that her people mean him no harm, and that they saved him. Elias calls off the deal, of releasing the detainees, and tells her that she's going back to Mount Inostranka and they are all staying there until he gets the truth. She tells him that her people have been waiting for 66 years and their patience is running out. ("To Keep Us Safe")

Sophia and her people are revealed to be of extra-terrestrial origin. They are similar to humans except they age very slowly. Sophia and the detainees were found in 1944 (66 years ago) during World War II. Their DNA varies by less than 1% from human DNA.("To Keep Us Safe")

Sophia is a vegan. ("A Matter of Life and Death")
