Fringe S2E20 'Brown Betty'.
Walter gets _really_ stoned just before Olivia drops her niece Ella off with Astrid at the lab.  Walter tells a story.
The glyphs in this episode spell "Heart".
Ella: Don't you know? All good stories start with "Once upon a time" and end with "Happily Ever After"
Ella: Hi Cow!
Gene: *moo*
Dr. Walter Bishop: Be careful Stella!  Gene!  Gene, no licking!  No licking!
(Anyone remember how many cows have starred in this show?)
Interestingly, during this musical episode, the two regular cast members of Fringe (2008) who have the most Broadway musical experience do not ever sing. Blair Brown (Nina) has had singing roles in Broadway productions of "The Threepenny Opera" and "Cabaret." And Michael Cerveris (The Observer/September) is better-known as a Broadway leading man than as a television or film actor; he has had lead roles in Broadway musicals such as The Who's "Tommy," "Titanic," "Assassins," "Sweeney Todd," "Lovemusik," and "Evita"; was nominated for Tonys for all but one of these; and won a Tony for "Assassins." In 2015, Cerveris won another Tony Award, this time for the musical "Fun Home."
The show's lowest rated episode.
Ari Graynor singing with John Noble's voice is realllly creepy.
