This episode's glyphs spell:
Certain events in this episode mirror the struggles Walter is going through in his personal life, such as the line "The grave of a boy... who was not in his grave", a reference to Walter visiting the grave of Peter Bishop in the season 1 finale. Alternatively, "mirror" could be a reference to the Shapeshifters in the previous episode who could mirror their look after anyone else.
