They eventually track down not one, but two killers with the same translucent skin at their hideout and kill them, but not before the killers burn their research notes and a third suspect, unobserved, gets away. Lincoln insists on following Olivia and the division around to solve the case for his partner's sake and he discovers that there is more than one victim and multiple bodies have turned up undisclosed by the Fringe division. Olivia investigates a case where Lincoln Lee from the prime universe witnessed a man with translucent skin attacking and killing his partner Robert (guest star Joe Flanigan) while tracking a sale of illegal weapons. Wyman & Akiva GoldsmanĪ week passes after the Fringe divisions in both universes have begun to work together to solve the impending collapse. Walter is approached by September and told that "they are coming", alluding to a future in 2036 where the Observers have taken over humanity. In a stalemate, Walter shoots Olivia in the head with a bullet, disrupting Bell's plan, and as Bell escapes, Walter helps to extract the bullet from Olivia, her Cortexiphan healing her body.Īfter Olivia's recovery, she finds herself pregnant with Peter's child. The prime universe Fringe team continues to track Jones' actions, and discover that he is in the employ of William Bell, still alive in this timeline, who seeks to destroy both universes as to create a void for a third one to be made, with Olivia's Cortexiphan abilities enabling this event to occur. Their first action is to disable the bridge created by the Wave Form Device, believing this enables the simultaneous events, but this proves ineffective. Both Fringe teams fear that a larger plan is afoot, and later, when Jones is able to trigger microquakes across the globe in both universes simultaneously, the two sides agree that Jones must be stopped before both worlds are destroyed. He gathers a large collection of the mineral amphilicite, which enables him to build devices that can merge the two universes for disastrous results. September explains the other Observers hid this universe from him purposely, and that this timeline is Peter's true home.Īs part of the change of the original timeline, David Robert Jones remains alive and is able to cross back and forth between the two universes, using an advanced army of shapeshifters, the parallel universe's version of Nina Sharp, and the parallel Broyles, whom he has blackmailed to initiate events. September later appears to Peter after he activates a strange artifact, which acted like a homing beacon to September. During one case, a wounded September appears to Olivia, warning her that she dies in every future that he can see, before disappearing. However, as he spends time with the Fringe team, Olivia starts to gain memories of the original timeline, and though both are initially worried about this effect, allow it to continue on, rediscovering their romance from before. Due to their actions, Peter suddenly materializes in this timeline, though his identity is not initially known nor is he trusted. Olivia and (now more sheltered and reclusive) Walter continue to explore Fringe events, but are aware of a memory of Peter that haunts them.
Despite the absence of Peter, the bridge has created a healing effect on the parallel universe, and both Fringe teams resolve their former differences and begin to work together. Peter's use of the Wave Form Device to create a bridge between the two universes has caused him to erase himself from the timeline a new timeline, in which young Peter was not saved by September after falling through the ice of Reiden Lake in 1985 after Walter's crossing, is set in motion.
