An unofficial companion to Fringe
Glyphs, easter eggs, buried clues, behind-the-scenes videos, thematic connections, and more, catalogued episode by episode with screenshots and timestamps.
Connection
When Peter left the hospital in "The Last Sam Weiss" he wrote "I am going home" on an envelope, the same phrase he wrote for Elizabeth in "Subject 13" when he tried to return to his home world.
Item of interest
Mark Young's colleague is wearing a butterfly pin, possibly prompting the subject of his hallucination.
Flower glyph
The flower glyph can be seen on a door in the pocket universe.
Connection
Walter looked at Peter's coin in "Novation" from the night Peter died in "Peter".
Item of interest
Nick Lane's wardrobe is all dark colors like Olivia's.
Butterfly glyph
Butterflies can be seen on a box in September's apartment.
Connection
Broyles was hanging out at a jazz bar in "Midnight". His character in "Brown Betty" performs in one.
Item of interest
There are 'Wanted' billboards for the Fringe team.
Hand glyph
A hand can be seen on the wall when Olivia and Peter attack the Observers and Loyalists.
Connection
A flashback at the end of "Grey Matters" revealed that it was William Bell who removed the pieces of Walter's brain. In "Over There (Part 2)" Bell said he removed the pieces at Walter's own request due to fears about the man he was becoming.
Item of interest
It is true that the Empire State Building's spire really was initially designed for airship docking as it was in the Redverse.
Apple glyph
The apple glyph can be seen on a door in the pocket universe.
Connection
An ambering device, first (nearly) used by the Blueverse Fringe team in "6B", was seen in Walter's storage vault in "The Bullet that Saved the World".
Item of interest
Michael can show emotion as he cried when he saw Nina's dead body.
Frog glyph
A frog can be seen in Walter's Monty Python trip.
Connection
Walter checked Peter's eyes for signs of degradation in "Pilot". Jones's eyes showed signs of changing in "There's More Than One of Everything" after he was teleported out of prison.
Item of interest
The Child's happy expression drops when he sees the Observer.
Butterfly glyph
Butterflies can be seen in Etta's apartment.
Connection

Item of interest
Sam Weiss died 10-15 years earlier in a shootout with Observers trying to protect the radio signal relay used to locate Michael.
Butterfly glyph
A butterfly can be seen on a lampshade near the front of Olivia's apartment.
Connection
Olivia had a horse-riding ribbon in Nina's old photograph in "Novation". Nina rode horses herself in "The Cure" so it stands to reason that Olivia would have done so as well in the timeline where she was raised by Nina.
Item of interest
When Nina looks in Bell's storage room for his copy of the First People book the camera pans by a copy of 'Dr. Spock's Baby and Childcare'.
Flower glyph
The flower glyph can be seen on the wall in the diner where Olivia and Lincoln meet.
