Videos with Jonas's mom

Background

Jonas's parents were (until recently) thought to be lost at sea several years ago while sailing around the 140th longitude; no wreckage was ever found. Jonas explained this incident in his earlier videos, but offered no explanation for their mysterious disappearance. He later mentioned that they used to "do weird stuff", and that they were traveling all the time, or constantly out on their boat.

In later videos, more information about his parents began to surface. His father was in an anti-Order movement and wrote a thesis on it, which was shared with many high-profile people. His parents also started a foundation, the goal of which has not yet been revealed.

When Jonas visited his aunt's house, he discovered a scrapbook of news clippings compiled by her. The initials of the people his father CC'd on the thesis matched the people who had disappeared. He took this to mean that they had been working for the resistance together and gotten snuffed out by the Order. Jonas assumed that the scrapbook meant his aunt, Alex, was also part of the resistance, however Tachyon and Bree suspected otherwise, warning Jonas against staying with his aunt. When he confronted Alex, she confessed her true allegiances and that she did, indeed, betray his parents. Adding insult to injury, Alex claimed that they were still alive and that they probably didn't remember him.

Reunion

In Remember Them?, LaRezisto showed images of a couple, claiming they were Jonas's parents. He intimated that their memories had somehow been erased, and urged Jonas to come find them. Jonas soon revealed that they were, in fact, his parents, but that he had no intention of trying to find them, angrily blaming them for abandoning him. After realizing that LaRezisto was also filming him, Jonas went to find his family, hoping to help in the resistance.

When Jonas met his parents again, they invited him in, but greeted him with skepticism because they didn't remember who he was. Jonas said that they had a picture of him as a child and was convinced they remembered him deep down inside. At this reunion, he was introduced to his younger sister Emma.

Anger at Jonas

After finding out that Emma was the new trait positive ceremony girl, Jonas made plans to take her and hide, however, the Order invaded their home and tried to take her by force. Jonas's parents were shot in the struggle, however the injuries were not serious. Jonas and Daniel dropped them off at the hospital before leaving for Arizona.

Jonas did not speak with his parents for a while, but called them after losing Emma. He spoke to his father, who said that he did not believe anything Jonas had said, and wanted nothing further to do with him unless he had Emma. Later, in the video What Happened?, they talk to Emma and say: "Jonas is not gonna bother you ever again. We won't let that happen." Later, Emma runs away to find Jonas when her parents won't listen to her about her noticeable similarities to Gina, a girl who Emma thought at the time had died from turning trait negative.

Notes

  • Though their names remain unknown, Jonas's father's initials are R.J.W., as seen on a copy The Order in the Modern Empire, a paper he once wrote for the Resistance.
  • Some fans have speculated that Jonas's parents may be Bree's biological parents, however, this seems highly unlikely due to the fact that Bree and Jonas slept together. This was disproven in bloodlines, where Bree was said to be born in Russia along with her sister Gina.
