Fringe S2E15 'Jacksonville'.  An interuniverse earthquake has Walter trying to make Olivia see The Other Side.  And Olivia has a revelation about Peter.
 The glyphs in this episode spell "Reveal".
 Astrid Farnsworth: All right, so what am I looking for?
Dr. Walter Bishop: Anything that looks like it doesn't belong.
Astrid Farnsworth: I think this qualifies. Richard Nixon on a silver dollar.
Dr. Walter Bishop: That's disturbing.
 No scenes were actually filmed in Jacksonville, Florida despite the name of the episode.
  Fringe S2E16 'Peter'.  Walter has 1985 flashbacks while justifying inter-universe kidnapping to Olivia.
 Despite being named after his character, this is the first episode to not feature Joshua Jackson, apart for a small clip from a previous episode.
 The glyphs from this episode spell out: Peters
 The episode's opening titles have been redone as though it were a show from 1985, complete with an '80s version of the theme tune and decade- specific fringe science topics such as "stealth technology", "virtual reality", and "in-vitro fertilization".
 When the movie theatre from the alternate universe is seen, it is showing "Back to the Future: starring Eric Stoltz". In fact, Stoltz did play Marty McFly in Back to the Future (1985) for a few weeks. Michael J. Fox was originally unavailable, so Stoltz did some filming, but realized that the part was not right for him. By that time, Fox had become available and did the movie.
