Fringe S5E02 'In Absentia'
IMDb sez: "Harvard is now a secret observer installation. But Walter remembers a secret entrance that will give him access to his lab and perhaps a way to recover his plan to rid the world of the Observers. Olivia gets a distasteful look at Observer interrogation methods as Etta questions a loyalist security guard in hopes of finding a way to restore power to the lab. As Olivia and Etta disagree on how to dispose of their captive they gain a greater appreciation of each others character."
The glyphs for this episode spell out: FAITH
The last words that Walter says in swedish is "Jag har ont" which means, "I am in pain".
Walter mis-remembers Astrid's name once again. This time, he calls her "Astril".  (He's really have to stretch for these now.)
In the opening sequence, Walter says they can get into Harvard via tunnels. In the next scene they're roaming outside the Harvard campus grounds and find a somewhat hidden hatch. The hatch trope is also a central item in the series Lost, also a JJ Abrams series.
Walter [upon finding the hatch to the Harvard tunnels]: Yahtzee!
Fringe S5E03 'The Recordist'
IMDb sez: "After piecing together the videos of Walter's plan, Olivia, Peter, Walter and Etta head to rural Pennsylvania to retrieve essential materials for the plan. There, they encounter a group of archivists who may be able to help with some local obstacles."
The glyphs for this episode spell out: ANGER
At the end of the episode, the Fringe team hotwires a vehicle. It is either the same or an identical station wagon that Peter and Walter drove in Seasons 1-3. It is a 1970 Vista Cruiser.
