Friday’s episode was amazing! If you didn’t catch the show, I’ll recap it from what I remember. This episode had a lot to do with the observer. He was spotted lots of different places and even saved a girls life.
Walter is trying to make a brain enhancer so that he can retrieve some of his memories that Bell took from him. Throughout the episode, Walter continues to perfect the brain enhancer, and mixes it with milk and puts it in the fridge to drink later.
Olivia receives a package, and inside is a book and a note from Peter. The note reads, “Because you asked. Peter” Olivia returns the book to Peter because it was meant for the other Olivia. Peter tells her that it’s for her, but she gives him back the book anyways.
Christopher Lloyd co-stars in the episode, playing an old famous keyboard player from Walter’s favorite band. Christopher Lloyd stopped playing when his son died, and on camera he was scene talking to a kid and the Observer was scene and the Fringe division was right on the case looking to find an answer as to why he was there. Christopher Lloyd’s character can’t remember what happened and Walter befriends his new famous friend to find out what his son might have said to him. He later finds out that he is there to help him with something.
We come to find out since Walter took Peter from the other side; it has thrown the universe off balance. The observer said that he figured out a way that he can put the universe back in balance, and needs Walter’s help. He told him when the boy asks for her keys, give him the keys. Walter is tried, knowing the Observer could take his son away from him for good. And when he hears Peter say those words, he doesn’t know if he is ready to let him go. Peter talks his dad into giving him the keys and Peter takes off after the Observer. When Peter catches up, the Observer shots Peter with this bright light that knocks him over.
Peter and Olivia go back to the lab after chasing the Observer, and Peter has a head ache. Olivia asks Peter why the book is his favorite. He said he knows that he can be a hard guy to figure out, and that he’s used to being on his own, and being independent. Not letting others in.
Peter takes something for his headache and finds the milk (Walter’s brain milk), and then Peter gets a seizer from drinking the milk. Olivia calls Walter, and he tells her what she can give him to overcome the seizer, but ends up overcoming it himself. Walter chalks it up the Observer saving Walter’s life because he knows his body couldn’t handle the seizer.
At the very end of the episode it shows two Observers talking about Walter and how he has changed. Now they knew if Walter was asked to give up his son again, he would do it.
The preview for the next episode showed them walking into a building where the machine from the other world was put together. The people putting the machine together hadn’t gotten any response from the machine until Peter walks in. Dun dun dun…
****
WOW! Amazing episode! I really love this season! I know it’s only been a few episodes, but I’m ready for Olivia to get over how Peter was with the Other Olivia. It’s not like he was going after her on purpose knowing it wasn’t his Olivia. I think that she did make a step in accepting the book from Peter though. You can tell Peter feels really bad about what happened. I do think it will be a while before Olivia can really forgive Peter. I’m sure that would be hard knowing that someone you think you love like the wrong version of you. I guess I think of this…Hello! He’s also Joshua Jackson! What are you thinking?! But then again, she doesn’t know he was on Dawson’s Creek or Mighty Ducks. LOL
It will be interesting to see what happens when Peter figures out what the machine can do, and what he will do with that knowledge.
I’m so glad Fringe is back on TV. It was a long Christmas break for me!
