Fringe Returns

Oh how I missed Pacey and the Gang. I rewatched the season while it was off the air and now I love this show even more.

When we last were here, Olivia was kidnapped by the gang that teleported that guy from Germany to Boston. And I forgot that the lead Bad Guy who kidnapped Olivia works for the FBI. They give her a spinal tap, but it doesn't prevent her from kicking like 86 dudes' asses and escaping. Olivia kicks ass!

Unfortunately, she's picked up by a guy named Harris from Homeland Security. He has been charged with reviewing Fringe Division, and Olivia once prosecuted him for sexual assault (his convictions were overturned). He makes threats and is generally creepy-cool-bad. He tells her not to investigate her own abduction, and then lets her go.

Freak of the Week: A college professor collapses and dies, and a giant freaking spiny slug thing slithers out of his body. Ew. Walter examines it, and I'm sick of looking at it. It's gross. It's a super-sized version of the common cold virus. I never want to get sick again.

Olivia recognizes the shoes on the Bad FBI Dude (Mitchell) as the shoes of her kidnapper. She tells Charlie and he enlists Pacey's help, since they have to investigate him on the down low. Pacey taps Mitchell's phone in time to hear him order his wife to kill Olivia, who is at their house snooping.

MASSIVE GIRLFIGHT!!!! Winner: Olivia, who is a better shot than the wife. Bullet through the brain wins every time.

They lure Mitchell out, Olivia pistol whips him in the face (NICE!), and they arrest him. Under questioning, he claims that he "saved" Olivia and she has no idea what she's done.

No resolution there, of course, but wow Olivia kicked major ass in this episode.

Walter's Craving of the Week: cheesesteaks. I like how Walter thinks, as ever.
