IMDb sez: "The Fringe team investigate a train full of people who died in a mysterious way. Olivia and the others then meet the astrophysicist who was responsible for the "experiment" and who can reset the time."
Well, that planes and trains now they just need a mass casualty automobile event.  As well as a credit to 'Groundhog Day'.

Dr. Walter Bishop: [to Alistair Peck] I, too, attempted the unimaginable, and I succeeded. I crossed into another universe, and took a son that wasn't mine. And since then, not a day has passed without me feeling the burden of that act. I'm going to tell you something that I have never told another soul. Until I took my son from the other side, I had never believed in God. But it occurred to me... that my actions had betrayed him and that everything that had happened to me since was God punishing me. So now I'm looking for a sign of forgiveness. I've asked God for a sign of forgiveness. A specific one, a white tulip.  (I think that explains the episode title.)

Guest star Peter Weller plays a scientist who has implanted mechanical and electrical devices in his body that give him special abilities - the dictionary definition of a "cyborg." Weller is most famous for playing the lead role in the RoboCop movies, in which his character is a cyborg police officer.

This episode includes an appearance of the running joke in which Walter can't quite recall Astrid's name correctly. Here he calls her "Astro".

 I'm confused. I thought Fringe only ran one season before getting cancelled. (I never saw it but I know people who liked it.) Did they revive it after a long hiatus? You're talking about Season 2 episodes.
