Connection

Connection
Senator Van Horn, who died in "Do Shapeshifters Dream of Electric Sheep?", was still alive in the altered timeline and talked to Broyles in "Brave New World (Part 2)".
Item of interest

Seahorse glyph
The seahorse glyph can be seen as Olivia and Shapeshifter Charlie fight in the alley.
Connection
Walter's password at Massive Dynamic in "Letters of Transit" is 0-5-2-0-1-0, the same as the combination to the Jacksonville daycare center and to Bell's safe in "Five-Twenty-Ten".

Connection
Peter needed a Faraday cage to safely enter the time bubble in "And Those We've Left Behind" like Alistair Peck built into his own body in order to time travel safely in "White Tulip".
Item of interest
When Walter explains that his red/blue lensed glasses were created by his friend from Washington, Doctor Jacoby, he's referencing the television show 'Twin Peaks' which also had an eccentric man of science, Doctor Jacoby, who wore red/blue lensed glasses very similar to Walter's.
Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen on Peter's luggage.
Connection
The intense amount of Cortexiphan coursing through Olivia in "Brave New World (Part 2)" was able to heal her mortal wound. This was foreshadowed in "Brown Betty" when Olivia was sliced by the same weapon that killed Rachel, yet instead of dying Olivia's skin started to heal itself.
