Shortly after Olivia and Peter arrive at the scene to investigate the bizarre case, it's discovered that a lethal virus - with deep ties to something very valuable - is spreading, so the CDC moves in to quarantine the building and eradicate the pathogens. Isolated inside with the rest of the exposed office employees, Peter and Olivia face life-threatening circumstances, sending Walter, Broyles and Astrid on a frantic search for a solution to save them.
The Fringe team are puzzled when a specific group of guests are targeted at a wedding. As the investigation goes the team is at a loss as to how the toxin was delivered and targeted. As they gather evidence and taken back to the lab, it's discovered that the wedding ceremony was a testing ground for a weaponed science experiment.
Adding to the intense lab investigation, Walter uncovers an alarming formula that reveals a link to a branch on the Bishop family tree. With the escalating threat of more deadly attacks and unexpected familial ties to the case, the Fringe team stops at nothing to prevent further catastrophic events IMDB Read more…. Olivia must go to Jacksonville to the former school where she was experimented on to relearn how to see the other universe in order to save people from dying in especially gruesome ways.
Walter flashes back to while explaining Peter's otherworldly origins to Olivia. Also, Peter's mother is introduced, and details of the neighboring world reaffirms that there is more than one of everything. When a perfectly healthy woman is found dead from a disease she never had, the Fringe team investigates the origin of this inexplicably fatal condition before it claims more innocent victims.
When passengers aboard a commuter train appear to have died a still death, it seems that a switch was flipped because all cell phones, mp3 players, laptops, batteries and bodies have been drained of power. As the Fringe team assembles at the bizarre crime scene, Peter remains suspicious that something is amiss with Walter, who is struggling to keep the unimaginable a secret.
When the investigation leads them to Alistair Peck, a very powerful man who has tremendous energy with severe consequences, an ironic set of circumstances surface. Upon discovering a shape-shifting embryo, Walter returns to the lab to conduct further analysis, and Olivia and Peter head to Massive Dynamic for answers. While Walter deals with some very upsetting news, he tells Olivia's niece, Ella, a fairy tale that includes musical performances by Olivia and Agent Broyles.
Peter teams up with a local law enforcement official, Sheriff Mathis, on a serial murder investigation with ties to Newton. There, opposing teams — our Olivia and William Bell; alterna-Olivia and Charlie — were racing to his bedside from different directions. Our side won, and Walter and Bell were reunited, only to start squabbling. The new trio head off to a Kentucky Fried Chicken, where Walter wolfs down what looks like a Double Down and dons a Red Sox cap [update: many of you, more sports-knowledgeable than I am, comment that this was a Brooklyn Dodgers cap; I cede to you] as a disguise and the two scientists agree that Olivia needs help re-opening the soft-spot back to our universe after the deaths of her Cortexiphan friends last week.
Then Peter gets a load of alt-Olivia and likes what he sees. But the red stuff: The opening titles are in red, of course, and Altivia wears a red shirt under her leather jacket. Many rooms contain red furniture. When Bell drives our Walter through a blasted landscape on Earth-2, everything in the scene is shades of gray except for the candy Bell is eating: Twizzlers, aka red whips.
In our world, we associate red with blood, life, passion; what does it mean in the alternate world? Okay, back to our story. Firstly, the white tulip itself was clearly sent by Walter in advance of his noble sacrifice, but how could this letter still exist if the Observer timeline was erased?
Fringe is quite specific in stating that the timeline reset only occurs from the moment of the invasion, with everything before that playing out exactly the way it already had. Since Walter and September were planning for the Observer invasion long before the villains arrived, it makes sense that the white tulip could've been sent during this early preparation period, and wouldn't have been affected by the reset. Fringe isn't clear on why nothing prior to this date is altered, other than because it would decimate the entire timeline of the show, and the logic does require a leap on the audience's part.
The white tulip itself caused some confusion, and its meaning is certainly ambiguous. On a basic level, the message is designed to push Peter into visiting Walter's lab in , where he will find his father missing having been erased from the timeline and discover a pre-prepared video explaining the situation.
However, the symbol first appeared in the season 2 episode, "White Tulip. After hearing the story, the scientist sends Walter this very symbol as a way of thanks.
The return of this image in Fringe 's finale could be interpreted as a similar message to Peter. Walter is perhaps telling his son not to feel any guilt after discovering his father's fate, or may simply be reaffirming his belief that, despite causing plenty of trouble, saving Peter from the alternate universe was the best thing Walter ever did.
A further point of contention among Fringe fans is figuring out exactly who remembers what, and this has been helpfully broken down by producer, David Fury. As far as Olivia, Peter and everyone else are concerned, everything up until the end of season 4 happens as usual; they will simply wake up one day to find that Walter is no longer present in their world. From Walter's perspective, he and Michael remember everything, including the dystopian future timeline. Walter's reality takes him through to season 4 as planned, before spending 20 years in amber, and then travelling into the 22nd century with Michael.
Ad — content continues below. What takes up most of the show is a series of critical meetings, some of which have never taken place before or in the context of the series. The sparks fly between him and the resentful Walter, portrayed by Noble, as they try to cope with how their friendship has altered both of them. John Noble is the rock on which Fringe was built, and he manages to distil every drop of pathos from a character still trying to cope with 17 years in a mental institution.
It was here that I got a indication that the real fun was about to ensue, as was pretty predictable last week when Olivia steps into the shoes of her alternate, and finds them a nice cosy fit. I must comment on Anna Torv Olivia fighting herself, which she does really convincingly irrespective of the obvious challenges to achieving that feat.
With the help of William Bell they must come back to their own dimension and stop Peter being used to shatter that dimension forever.
