Fringe S3E11 'Reciprocity'
Fox Publicity sez: "When the Fringe Team visits Massive Dynamic's assembly of doomsday device, Walter becomes greatly concerned for Peter's well-being, so he turns to Nina for added brain power to understand the relationship between Peter and the super-weapon. Meanwhile, the discovery of a dead body triggers an intense investigation."
The glyphs for this episode spell out: ALTER
In the opening sequence, the main characters discuss the encrypted computer hard drive that has been accessed since last episode. Walter Bishop explains that his son, Peter, guessed the password: "It was a song lyric. Fauxlivia ruined U2 for all of us." Though it is never revealed in the episode, the U2 song in question must be "One," which has the lines "We're one, but we're not the same."
Fringe S3E12 'Concentrate and Ask Again'
Fox Publicity sez: When a scientist falls dead after ingesting a lethal cloud of blue powder and his bones disintegrate in his body, the CDC suspects a biological attack. As the Fringe Team investigates further, a subject from Walter's past with ties to Olivia reluctantly agrees to assist with the intense case.
The glyphs for this episode spell out: HATCH
Dr. Walter Bishop: Why would anyone kill a scientist? What did we ever do?
Peter Bishop: [sarcastically] Really?
Dr. Walter Bishop: [wearing hazmat suit, enters room with body] Oh, my. Look at this. I feel nauseated.
Peter Bishop: [sincerely] Yeah, this is pretty disgusting, even by our standards.
Dr. Walter Bishop: [abashed] I'm not talking about the body. I fear I may have broken wind inside my suit.
(Walter clearly has his priorities straight!)
Concentrate and ask again is one of the 20 possible answers provided by the Mattel "fortune-telling" novelty toy the Magic 8-Ball.
