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
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
The briefcase contained photos of Walter.
Butterfly glyph
The butterfly glyph can be seen on a door in the pocket universe.
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
Sam Weiss died 10-15 years earlier in a shootout with Observers trying to protect the radio signal relay used to locate Michael.
Seahorse glyph
The seahorse glyph can be seen on the back of one of Markham's books.
Connection
The tombstone in Olivia's dream state in "Pilot" says "He's Not Dead", possibly referring to John Scott, assumed dead, who appears at the end of "The Arrival".
Item of interest
Carr's work review sent to Astrid from his previous employer shows that in the three years prior to his dismissal, he only missed three days of work. He was out for only one day each year and each year it was the same day: Valentine's Day.
Butterfly glyph
The butterfly glyph can be seen on the wall in the diner where Olivia and Lincoln meet.
Connection
In "The End of All Things" September said that he made a mistake when he distracted Walternate in his lab in "Peter" and saving Walter and Peter from the icy lake was an attempt to rectify that mistake.
Item of interest
The Redverse traded Alt Broyles for Fauxlivia by cutting off one of his legs to make their masses equal.
Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen on Peter's luggage.
Connection
Peter said "You're going to be fine" to Olivia in "Brown Betty", like Charlie's "You're gonna be fine" message to Olivia in "Dream Logic".
Item of interest
The flower glyph glitches away after the scene where Olivia's fear caused her to interrupt all the electronics in the room.
Apple glyph
The apple glyph can be seen on the backrest of a chair in the lab.
Connection
Walter's car in "The Same Old Story" has a severed hand in a jar, and Peter jokes "Friend of yours?". Walter eventually cuts William Bell's hand out of amber in "Letters of Transit".
Item of interest
Donald entered the mine 5 weeks after the invasion and took some rocks. He was described as being in his late 30s, medium height, dark hair. Donald said he was waiting for "a colleague, a scientist from Boston, to meet him." Observers found him and took him away.
Butterfly glyph
The butterfly glyph can be seen as Olivia and Shapeshifter Charlie fight in the alley.
Connection
In "Entrada" Fauxlivia was brought back to the Redverse via harmonic transfer with small rods injected into her hands, similar to the harmonic transfer that brought the bridge over in "The Man from the Other Side".
Item of interest
The Fringe team is part of a full-fledged branch of the Department of Defense in the Redverse.
Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen in Walter's Monty Python trip.
Connection
William Bell had a bell on his desk in "There's More Than One of Everything" and rang it after he introduced himself to Olivia. He left a similar bell to Nina in his will in "The Box".
