Seahorse glyph
The seahorse glyph can be seen as Olivia and Shapeshifter Charlie fight in the alley.

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.
