William Bell shows Walter what he has created,a new world that he calls beautiful but Walter isn’t so sure, he begs him to stop but he counters that he can’t stop it even if he wanted, that all the pieces have been put in motions.
Peter walks into the lab with Olivia searching for Walter, they become worried when Olivia attempts to call Astrid but gets the voice mail. Peter attempts to ease Olivia’s worries regarding her Cortexiphan new found powers. They are interrupted by a call from a worried Jessica who comments on feeling like someone is following her. We see September walking in the house and gets stuck in place by a symbol on the floor. Olivia and Peter goes to investigate but doesn’t find her, they see a huge whole on the wooden floor. Olivia stars worrying, wondering if she put her life in danger. They get interrupted again by Broyles, telling them that Astrid was transported to the hospital after getting short, she asks him about Walter but he thought he was with them. They question Astrid who explains what happened, the strange noises from animals she didn’t recognize, give them the location of the warehouse. She feels guilty, cries that she couldn’t prevent Walter’s abduction but Peter eases her worries.
They go to the warehouse to find September who explains he can’t move, just then Jessica walks in pointing a gun at them. She explains to them that these Observers aren’t special, they just have high end tech. She comments that Bell knew that if they put Olivia in harms way, he would show up. She attempts to shoot him but stops all the bullets. She comments that Bell gave her a new one, that shoots faster, shoots and it’s a hit. Olivia begs him to stop it, she counters she only wants to upset her shoots again but Olivia stops the bullet and redirects them back at her. Olivia comments on now knowing how he got shot, as Peter frees him, he’s surprised as she explains, they had this conversation about him seeing all the futures and she had to die. He says he doesn’t know about it since it didn’t happen yet. He leaves to investigate what he meant and hopes he will be back in time.
The paramedic brings the body to the lab as they hook up Jessica to machines that brings her back to life for a short period to question her. Olivia talks with Nina wondering why Bell is activating her, playing with her emotions to create more powerful results. Jessica awakes, she talks about a boat, Bell being a great man, using an energy source, as time runs out, Olivia gets upset, shakes her up asking to to tell her where Bell is, as she touches her she electrocutes her. Peter realizes that they are on a boat. Nina asks Peter for a Mag meeter as Olivia realizes she is the energy source, that he’s been activating her to use her to collapse both universes. Nina realizes with Olivia, they can find him.
Back on Bell’s boat, Bell reminds him that he hated God for letting him lose Peter twice, that It was his ideas at first, that’s why he asked him to cut the ideas out of his brain. He continues that he has cancer, that dosing himself with Cortexiphan is slowing the cancer and now he is God. He comments on Olivia being a remarkable girl
Back at Fringe’s division, Olivia panics as Peter tries to calm her down reminding her that things have changed, because he’s there to support her. They share a hug as they are told they found bell and flies to his location. They fly over the location but can’t see him, Nina says perhaps he is on the other side, crossing to get to the safe spot, Olivia can cross over and Peter can see it so they have to combine their ‘powers’ to get to it. They jump and land right on the boat.
Walter picks up a gun as Olivia and Peter walks in. Bell calls this unexpected, explains that he thought him and Walter would die off and leave the new species to survive but then calls Peter and Olivia the new Adam and Eve. Peter tells him to shut everything off, he counters that he can’t that Olivia is the engine, every breathe she takes brings them closer to Nirvana. He pushes Peter to kill him that he wouldn’t be the first God to be murdered for creation. Walter asks them to forgive him and shoots Olivia in the head. Everything turns stops. He turns over and aims at Bell who’s clearly surprised but call it cleaver. He rings the Bell and tells him that he’s going to pay a steep price and disappears.
Peter is crying as Walter tells him to hurry up, he slaps some senses out of his head to remind him that the Cortexiphan gave her healing powers that they need to get the bullet out before it regenerates. He gets the bullet out, Olivia heals.
Broyles gets congratulates for his team saving the world, He offers him funding for his Fringe division and calls him Colonel Broyles. Broyles offers a job to Nina.
At the hospital, Peter awaits news from Olivia, the doctor tells him, she’s ready to come home, Walter tells Peter that Cortexiphan should be out of her system, so she’s almost normal. He goes to see her, shows her a house he believes would be perfect, she announces that she’s pregnant and everyone rejoices.
Walter is back at the lab as September tells him, they have to warn the others, they are coming. Walter asks, ‘Who’s coming’?
My Thoughts
- Glyph Code : Purge
- This episode was brilliant! They knew just how to close the first 4 seasons and to open the bracket for the Observers part. It completely understand WHY the Observers want to take over. Could it be what Bell had seen? Or is he somewhat related with the Observers thanks to his new found ‘powers’ thanks to Cortefixphan. How did Bell disappear with the Bell? I’m still puzzled on what he did to Olivia? I supposed he killed her or perhaps switched bodies like he did before?
