- When both of the two identities of people from the separate worlds experience the same catastrophes from incidents in just one world, the two Fringe teams collaborate. Walter crosses over to find that Jones is behind the phenomena, but to what ends? Also, the investigation into the Fringe-mole continues.—kamas716
- Deaths appear to be happening simultaneously between universes - violent deaths in one universe cause the same violent deaths of the victims' alternates in the other. The two universes work together to solve the case: in light of recent events, Lincoln has opted to remain in the alternate universe with Fauxlivia for the present, and Walter joins them to assist in the investigation on that side as Peter and Olivia investigate in their universe. Astrid and Alt-Astrid bond while working together at their impromptu communications hub. Meanwhile, Fauxlivia continues her mole hunt with renewed vigor.—John W.
- During a meeting, three people are thrown to the ceiling and then to the floor and die with marks of seat belts. Soon the Fringe Division learns that their doppelgangers have died in a plane crash at the same time. Walter, Peter and Olivia go to the parallel universe to investigate the case and meet the alternate Olivia and Lincoln. When another case happens with a woman drowned in a taxi, Walter concludes that David Robert Jones is trying to synchronize both universes. Meanwhile Olivia, Lincoln and Astrid suspect that there is a mole in Fringe Division and Walter comments with alternate Olivia that Broyles might be the mole since there is no evidence pointing him, based on a Sherlock Holmes novel. She plots a scheme to trick Nina and find the mole. Will it work?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Agent Lincoln Lee watches the funeral for Captain Lee from the car with Other Astrid. Olivia and Colonel Broyles stand in the rain. Olivia assures Lincoln's mother they'll do everything possible to catch the person responsible. Broyles looks guilty.
Fauxlivia talks to Nina Sharp in lock-up, offering her a deal in exchange for the name of Jones' mole. Nina won't play. She tells Olivia she won't be in prison long.
"It's your world you should be concerned about, because as bad as you think things are here now, things are going to get much worse," Nina tells her.
Our side, Manhattan In a board room a boss harangues an employee who's in trouble because they didn't finish a presentation in time. So the boss had to miss his flight and they lost an account.
As the boss is speaking, about to fire the underling, suddenly he is seemingly yanked up out of his chair and thrust up to the ceiling, floating. Then he crashes to the conference table -- only four feet down -- but his body is pulverized.
Walter and Astrid arrive on the scene, where Walter is really glowy about seeing Olivia and Peter together. There are two victims who died the same way.
Walter looks at the victim and says the bones in his legs are totally shattered. His spinal column was pushed up through his torso, injuries that would come from greater velocity.
Walter notices marks across the victim's laps. Peter suggests they look like seat belt marks. Olivia gets a call about a third victim who died similarly in his apartment, he was a pilot.
Walter realizes the injuries look like they were from a plane crash.
The Other Side Astrid reports to Broyles that they confirmed Walter's suspicion, there was a plane crash on their side 90 minutes ago. There were three fatalities, two men and a pilot.
Fauxlivia comes in off topic with a list of 108 people with clearance to tip off David Robert Jones. She wants to start background checks and surveillance. She recaps the things DRJ has known, including that they were coming to his lab, they were tracking him and the latest that got Lincoln killed -- all tips Broyles gave DRJ.
Broyles says he'll try to cut through the red tape. But first he sends Fauxlivia to the bridge to pick up their counterparts for the plane investigation.
Our Side Olivia escorts Walter to the other side. He's planning to collect samples of the victims and return home. He appreciates her trusting him to do it alone.
Fauxlivia and Agent Lee arrive. "Ah, my escort is here -- and by 'escort', I don't mean 'prostitute'," Walter says of Fauxlivia.
Olivia asks Lincoln how Fauxlivia is doing and tells him to take care of Walter.
Outside the bridge, Walter sees a list of hot spots where the damage is the worst. But Fauxlivia says it's getting better.
As for the plane crash affecting both sides, Walter never expected anything like it. Fauxlivia wonders if DRJ could have caused it. "If Jones caused this, he's conceived of something Belly and I never did," Walter says.
Walter runs tests on the bodies with a tuning fork, a perfect G. He brought a hand from a victim from our side --it makes a G as well, but Walter says it should be a C. Each universe vibrates at its own frequency. Everything from the Other Side is G, ours is C. Somehow the dopplegangers were linked across universes.
They don't have black boxes on The Other Side, but they listen to satellite recording of the plane crash. There's a lot of yelling and beeping at the end with the pilot shouting that instruments are failing.
Whatever merged the two universes destabilized the aircraft. He thinks they attached something to the airplane. They wonder what the suspect is trying to prove. Walter has no idea.
Cut to DRJ meeting with someone on a park bench. He asks about their experiment with the plane. He tells the man to surprise him with the next one.
Broyles comes home and says hi to his wife and learns that someone is there to see him. Broyles finds David Robert Jones sitting on his couch. Broyles isn't happy to see him. DRJ brought medication for Broyles' son Christopher, who is responding extremely well to treatment. He used to be in constant pain, he was dying.
Broyles knows he'll have to answer for what he's done, but he's just trying to keep his son alive. DRJ warns Broyles he'll be calling on him shortly.
Our side The man DRJ met with rides in a cab with a briefcase. He gets out and a woman gets in. He leaves the briefcase.
The Other Side The same woman shops in a pet store.
Our Side Back in the cab, the briefcase charges up. There's a loud noise and vibration.
On the Other Side, the woman pays for her items but is suddenly yanked across the floor and into a display. She starts spitting up dirty water.
Our Side A cab went over the bridge, the same time the woman on the Other Side died.
Both Astrids meet in the bridge. Our Astrid brought her doppelganger coffee -- her favorite. They conference with their people in the field, each reporting on their victims. They have the same name, both have broken left arms.
Peter asks what he's looking for. Walter reports from the Other Side to Astrid, via Astrid, to Peter. He has no idea. Peter finds the briefcase. There's amphylicite inside. It's David Robert Jones.
Broyles meets with Fauxlivia, Lincoln and Walter. Walter still has no idea what DRJ is up to. Walter complains about his pillow and Fauxlivia offers to put him up in her guest room.
With Fauxlivia and Lincoln out of the room, Walter blames himself for what's happening because he crossed over years ago. Broyles asks if he'd do anything differently.
Walter says now that he's met Peter as an adult, he's not sure he would.
Astrid surprises Fauxlivia by reporting that she ran her 108 names and found nothing out of the ordinary. Broyles gave her the list.
Broyles meets with DRJ, who gives him a small box he wants him to attach to the control panel on the bridge. Broyles reminds him the machine is healing the worlds.
DRJ reminds him he's healing his son. He wants it there before sundown tomorrow.
At home, Broyles prepares to give his son an injection into the port on his heart. His son is fired up about getting picked for kickball and winning and being told a girl in his class likes him. Broyles enjoys the quality time.
In the middle of the night, Walter creeps around Fauxlivia's apartment in her silk kimono and finds her drinking alone in her living room. She's hammered and looking over the evidence from Lincoln's murder.
She tells Walter she's looking for a mole. She has Lincoln's things but can't bring herself to face his parents without answers.
Walter makes her eggs to sober her up. She tells him there is no evidence at all about the mole. He cites Sherlock Holmes, "The Dog Who Did Not Bark" -- that no evidence, is evidence.
Walter suggests Broyles, but Fauxlivia dismisses him out of hand. He tells her no one should be above suspicion.
Fauxlivia visits Nina Sharp in lock-up and turns off the camera. She tells her they have Colonel Broyles in custody and he won't be able to free her.
Nina takes it in then says: "Phillip is irrelevant, he's just another pawn." She says DRJ will come for her.
Fauxlivia meets with Agent Lincoln Lee, telling him Nina confirmed her suspicions. Astrid interrupts to say no one has seen Broyles and his tracker was turned off.
Cut to Broyles outside the bridge with the device from DRJ. Broyles walks inside and passes security with no problem.
Astrid gets notice of the swipe.
Broyles goes through the layers of security to get to the bridge.
Fauxlivia and Lincoln race to the bridge.
Broyles reaches the machine, they get held up at the security checks. Broyles contemplates the device.
Someone joins him.
It's the other Broyles. He got his message. Fauxlivia and Lincoln arrive just in time to hear our Broyles report that Col. Broyles turned himself in. He tells Fauxlivia he's sorry.
Later, Fauxlivia and Lincoln say good bye to Walter at the bridge. Walter tells her not to judge Broyles, he was trying to save someone he loved.
Lincoln sticks around, telling Fauxlivia he still wants to find everyone responsible.
Broyles is escorted to his cell, past Nina Sharp.
Back on our side in Walter's lab, Peter and Olivia race to hear what he's found. He says DRJ was just conducting a test, taking readings. He wanted to find a common denominator, a frequency to link both universes.
If Broyles had uploaded the device to the machine, Jones could have collapsed both universes.
