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
Nick Lane is being kept in a coma indefinitely at the end of "Bad Dreams". In "Over There (Part 1)" Olivia learned that he and other found Cortexiphan subjects have been training to keep their abilities under control.
Item of interest
The briefcase contained photos of Walter.
Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen outside the entrance to the daycare center.
Connection
In "Back to Where You've Never Been" Peter and Lincoln set up the universe portal in the Orpheum Theater, the same place Walter, Olivia, and the Cortexiphan subjects crossed over to rescue Peter in "Over There (Part 1)".
Item of interest
Olivia struck James Heath with a candlestick in her dining room, making the title a complete red herring.
Apple glyph
The apple glyph can be seen on a door in the pocket universe.
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.
Item of interest
Walter's pose as he listens to the Mozart Requiem is a reference to the iconic Maxell tape advertisement from the '80s.
Apple glyph
The apple glyph can be seen as Olivia and Shapeshifter Charlie fight in the alley.
Connection
A bus at the second crime scene in "The Plateau" has an ad on the side that says "Ambered", a reference to the ambered bus in "The Ghost Network".
Item of interest
William Bell left Massive Dynamic to Walter.
Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen on the Bishops' refrigerator.
Connection
The boy in "Alone in the World" played with the same action figure Peter showed to the Child in "Inner Child".
Item of interest
The Child's happy expression drops when he sees the Observer.
Frog glyph
A frog can be seen on the dock when Walter is high.
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
Donald helped Walter set up the pocket universe hiding spot.
Butterfly glyph
The butterfly glyph can be seen outside the entrance to the daycare center.
Connection
Jones presented Olivia with the light box test in "The End of All Things" just as he did in "Ability".

Flower glyph
The flower glyph can be seen on a door in the pocket universe.
Connection
Olivia shot her captors in "The Human Kind" with the bullet she took from Etta in "The Bullet that Saved the World".
