Fringe S4E07 'Wallflower'
IMDb sez: "A manhunt begins for an invisible killer who steals human pigmentation."
Fox Publicity is a little more forthcoming: "When a man mysteriously dies by an invisible force, his body rapidly begins turning ghostly white. The Fringe team learns that this is not an isolated incident, and there's evidence that links the predator to someone who passed away with an unknown genetic disorder. Meanwhile, Olivia suffers from migraines."
The glyphs for this episode spell out: DAVID
Walter refers to the killing of albinos in east Africa and the using of body parts in rituals. This is not imaginary. To the present day an occasional news report from the region refers to the murder of an albino for such reasons.
When Walter shows Olivia and Lincoln the octopus, he references the Beatles song: Octopus's Garden.
Walter is using the same mouse maze that Faraday used in Lost. Both shows were created by J.J. Abrams.
Dr. Bishop uses 'octopi' as a plural for octopus. Octopi is a plural using Latin pluralization. Octopus is Greek in origin, the plural being octopodes. English has its own pluralization rules, therefore, octopuses is the correct form in the English language.
FBI Agent Tim: You're not my prisoner.
Peter Bishop: So, what, then? You're my bodyguard?
FBI Agent Tim: Maybe just imagine I'm a... friend.
Peter Bishop: Yeah, 'cause every 32-year-old man needs a friend to chaperone him while he's underwear shopping.
