FRINGE: The Box (S3E2)

Welcome back to all things fringe science! and the plot just gets better and better - a little gory, yes, but horrible things happen in our world every now and then.

As the first episode covers mostly about the original Olivia who is trapped 'Over There" (parallel universe for those of you who doesn't follow Fringe religiously), this time the story tells mostly about Peter and the other Olivia in our world.

A bizarre incident has taken place in Maine once again and this time victims and villains both died mysteriously with the exception of someone who escapes the tragedy with a machine that may be the cause of the mass killing.

The main ones:

Walter: Walter is named sole shareholder of Massive Dynamic in Bell's will (his BFF who died at the end of Season 2), thus inheriting a whole new set of state-of-the-art labs. wooohoo!!! Now he can experiment with fringe science much more easily and never worry about money. That lucky madman. But I have a soft spot for Walter, because he has such enormous love for Peter :)


Peter Bishop: Peter starts noticing that the Olivia next to him has changed somewhat. Lovely changes, he thinks, but still changes nonetheless and at times, these changes seem to make this Olivia a whole different person from who she used to be. Hmmms. I can't wait till he discovers the truth! Come on already.

The other Olivia: still orders Newton, the leader of the shapeshifters, around. She almost screws up her cover when Peter comes by her place, so she distracts him by kissing him and leading him on (work like a charm. Men are SO easy to fool) until Broyles calls her for duty. Ooops! Sorry Peter!

So, Peter manages to deactivate the ultrasonic box that's killing people right and left. There are some gory scenes but for the most part, everything is fine. The box seems to be a part of a larger machine as revealed by the other Olivia at the end of this episode when she types a message to the alternate world that "Peter has found first piece." I wonder what this larger plan is.

In the next episode, the plot would definitely go back to the original Olivia in the alternate world, coping with a new life...unknowingly? Stay tuned.
