Fringe S4E04 'Subject 9'
Fox publicity sez: Olivia uncovers a dangerous force that may be connected to Walter's past experiments with the drug Cortexiphan. Their investigation forces Walter to leave the lab for the first time in years as he and Olivia head to Massive Dynamic in New York to examine old case files. Walter struggles with life outside the lab as he comes face-to-face with the demons of his past.
(Hey!  Black Panther is in this one!)
The glyphs for this episode spell out: RESET
Because the Cortexiphan trials went all the way in the "BLUE" universe and didn't happen at all in the "RED" universe, they were halfway done in the "AMBER" timeline, with low enough doses to not make the superpowers permanent but high enough to possibly cause side effects for some of the subjects.
Olivia speaks to a man named Lt. Daniels, which was the name of Lance Reddick's character in The Wire.
Dr. Walter Bishop: Claire, will you please man the cameras in my absence?
Astrid Farnsworth: Really, Claire? That doesn't even start with an "A".
Fringe S4E05 'Novation'
IMDb sez: "Shapeshifter Nadine hunts down a former Massive Dynamics scientist to help rectify her cellular translucence. Meanwhile, Peter finds conversing with Walter difficult."
The glyphs for this episode spell out: STILL
Nadine retrieves her typewriter from locker number 47. The number 47 features prominently both in "Fringe" and in J.J. Abrams' previous series, "Alias".
Malcolm Truss: Do you always bring a gun to a business proposal?
Malcolm Truss: But just so you know, I don't do my best work at gunpoint.
