Connection
James Heath, a Cortexiphan subject, couldn't control his abilities in "Olivia. In the Lab. With the Revolver.". In "Over There (Part 1)" he had been trained to cure disease instead of cause it.

William Bell left Massive Dynamic to Walter.
Leaf glyph
A leaf can be seen on the bio-scan monitor at the Liberty Island security checkpoint.
Connection
In "Olivia" they gave Olivia the same tattoo as Fauxlivia had in "Over There (Part 1)".
Item of interest
The episode opened in "Manhatan", seemingly a typo but actually signifying this was an alternate Manhattan.
Frog glyph

Connection

Flower glyph

Connection
The hallucinogenic drug from "The Dreamscape" was used as a weapon against the Observers in "An Enemy of Fate" to make them think they were being attacked by butterflies.

The Fringe team is the First People. Walter sent the parts of the machine back through time via the wormhole in Central Park. That's why the First People had such a knowledge of Peter and Olivia.
Leaf glyph
The leaf glyph is on the electronic keypad at Massive Dynamic.
Connection
Ten Observers are present on Liberty island in "The Day We Died" from an assumed total of 12. One of the missing two Observers might be John Mosley, a potential former Observer, who was killed in "The Arrival". See the FAQs for more information (note: FAQs contain spoilers through season 5).

Leaf glyph
The leaf glyph can be seen as Olivia and Shapeshifter Charlie fight in the alley.

There is a Massive Dynamic logo on Flight 627's engine.
Frog glyph
