Fringe S1E13 'The Transformation'.  IMDb sez "A man undergoes a painful and ultimately fatal transformation aboard a plane. Meanwhile, Nina Sharp and Broyles reveal more information about John Scott to Olivia." The glyphs spell "Avian".
 Agent Olivia Dunham: Cut open his hand.
Peter Bishop: What?
Agent Olivia Dunham: I want to see if there's a disc in it. Like Bowman's.
Dr. Walter Bishop: [gets on his feet] I like cutting.
 

I miss this show.

What Did You Watch?
 

I watched:
Law & Order: SVU - "Shock Collar" - Team SVU springs into action to save a kidnapped young girl who is being tortured by the kidnappers who are also streaming it online for paying customers.  I think Ice-T was missing from this episode, but Kelli Giddish was back.  I wish they'd figure out what they are doing with her character.  When she first left I couldn't find an answer, but I tried googling it again and this time I found articles that said the departing was not her choice.  If so, I'm a little surprised that she keeps agreeing to come back for guest spots.
9-1-1 - "The Last Alarm" - They killed off one of the main characters last week, this episode has the aftermath with the character's funeral. I once again turned to google to see if the actor's departing was a mutual decision, and according to what I found, the show runner fired the actor so they could add drama to the show and let the audience know anyone could die.  That is stupid!  I know it's a TV show.  They don't have to kill off the main characters to keep me interested.  That's a way to make me disinterested!  See also, "The Walking Dead" and "The Last of Us" for examples of killing off main characters upsetting audiences.
Found - "Missing While Independent"  Sir's psycho sister is attacking people the agency previous found.
