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.

It actually ran for 5 seasons.

My goodness, you're right! Five seasons back to back with only the usual
summer hiatus. I wonder how I got the idea that it was cancelled after 1
season?
 

I think there was talk about cancelling it at some point, but the fans
loved it and it hung on. Or the original network did, and another
network picked it up.
