Fringe

Freak of the Week: Rural Pennsylvania. Oh no. I know a LOT of people in rural Pennsylvania. A utility worker is pulled underground by a hand sticking out of a corn field, and there's some blue slime involved.

The blue stuff is a paralytic, as Walter discovers when he gets some on his hand (and will therefore need help unzipping his fly to pee).

Turns out, this chick died in childbirth. Only the kid didn't die - it burrowed its way out of its grave and down deep underground. Only it wasn't a kid - it was a weird half-baby/half-scorpion or, as Walter calls it, a Super Baby. And the thing lives underground, paralyzing its prey, etc. Awesome. The thing even attacks Olivia at one point and she and Pacey have to fight it off.

We get to see more of the Alternative Universe Typewriter Communication Device. Evil!Charlie communicates with the other universe to let them know Olivia trusts him.

Also, Olivia has super hearing now, on occasion anyway. It's cool and freaky. And helpful in hearing things like hidden people breathing. Though at one point she shoots at Pacey instead. Oops. Good thing she's now a bad shot.

Walter didn't get any food cravings this week. But Pacey took him on a fishing trip and it made me awwww. Pacey loves him now and it makes me happy!

This Week's Code: MIRROR.
