Fringe S1E17 'Bad Dreams'.  Olivia kills people in her sleep.  (Well, wouldn't you if you worked with Dr. Bishop?)  In Nick Lane's flat there is a wall filled with clippings. In the midst of this mass of clippings is a sheet of paper on which the number 47 is written. The number 47, besides being a prime number, has been attributed as being a random number which occurs with unusual frequency and so has a certain mystique. There is perhaps a humorous mathematical proof of this by Pomona College's math professor Donald Bentley. Regardless of this purported mystique, the number has been used in Alias (2001), another J.J. Abrams project, as a central plot device for the series.

 I think Star Trek also had a tendency to stick the number 47 in as an Easter egg from time to time.
 

The glyphs in this episode spell "Belly". This is Walter Bishop's nickname for William Bell.

  Nothing worth mentioning.  I did forget to mention from the other day I watched:
  Watson - "My Life's Work Part 1" - Part one of the season finale. Thanks to the secret inside help he's been receiving all season, Moriarty is able to launch a biological attack against one of the doctor's on Watson's team.  This was a pretty good one.  But I'm half expecting Sherlock to make an appearance in the finale and reveal that he's really alive and this has all been a long con to capture Moriarty.
  The Equalizer - "Decisions" - This was the series finale.  Salazar, who has been the season's big bad, but has barely registered on my radar, decides to kill the Equalizer while she is on vacation, but he forgets that she's the Equalizer and she and her team eat kill squads for breakfast.  Overall, I thought they managed a pretty good finale that wrapped up the series, while leaving room for another season.
