Fringe S3E13 'Immortality'
Fox Publicity sez: "As the story shifts back to life "over there," the absence of Colonel Broyles shifts the dynamic of the Fringe Team as they investigate a bioterrorist armed with an insect that has a taste for human flesh. Meanwhile, alternate Olivia is reunited with her beau, and Walternate remains determined to save his world but discovers there are certain lines he will not cross."
The glyphs for this episode spell out: ROMAD
("Romad"?)
While talking to his fellow diner, Dr. Silva states that he is quoting Samuel Clemens. Samuel Clemens is the real name of Mark Twain, suggesting that in the alternate universe, Samuel Clemens never used the pen name Mark Twain-- another way in which the alternate universe is very similar, but slightly changed.
One of the flights being announced as cancelled due to weather as Fauxlivia is leaving the terminal is "Gotham Air 3 bound for St. Louis".
Fringe S3E14 '6B'
IMDb sez: A series of Fringe events leads the team to the home of a woman grieving over the death of her husband, while Peter and Olivia make an effort to repair the emotional rift between them.
The glyphs for this episode spell out: HEARTS The glyph for the S has a small heart in place of the usual small circle.
Dr. Walter Bishop: There's no such thing as ghosts.
Peter Bishop: That's where you draw the line? Ghosts?
Dr. Walter Bishop: Belly and I used to argue about this constantly -- what happens to the body's energy after death. William theorized we should be able to capture that energy using what he called Soul Magnets.
Peter Bishop: It's a catchy name.
Dr. Walter Bishop: He said if he were right, he would contact me from The Great Beyond. I haven't gotten the call yet.
Peter Bishop: Did I ever tell you about the time Walter did his rendition of Never, Never Going to Give You Up?
Olivia Dunham: No, but I actually love Barry White.
Peter Bishop: He was only wearing his socks at the time. Doing the Hustle, there was a lot going on.
(There ain't enough "NOPE!" in two universes for that!)
Mrs Marcello, the lady fleeing the "possessed" apartment building is headed for the Schrödinger Hotel. People in the apartment building are surely dying. Perhaps Mrs. Marcello likes her chances better in the Schrödinger "box", where, like Schrödinger's cat, one might be alive and dead.
