Fringe

Freak of the Week: Dude in Seattle sees his co-workers with demon heads and proceeds to beat his boss to death. And his eyes are moving back and forth quickly, like REM sleep but he's awake.

When the team comes to the hospital to question the guy, he says that he felt like he was dreaming. Then he suddenly freaks out, his hair turns gray, and he flatlines. Oops.

Before they went to Seattle, Walter and Peter move in to their house together. But Walter doesn't set himself up in his bedroom - he makes his bed on the foldout couch. Closer to the kitchen, don't you know. And he promises to always wear his shorts to bed in case Peter brings a lady home. ILU, Walter.

Poor Walter doesn't like being in Seattle because he says it smells like the mental hospital. He's so cute when he's asking Peter if he can take the body back to Boston. Peter sends an agent with him, giving him instructions like a parent would give a babysitter.

Walter finds a computer chip in the dude's brain, and a woman is also found dead and with white hair after saying she saw monsters. They had both been the subject of an experimental cure for sleep disturbances. And it turns out the doctor was a wacko and using the chips to steal dreams -- basically getting high off them. And every time he gets high it means one of his patients sees cool, scary things and kills somebody. The team figures out it's him and then the doctor OD's on dreams.

My poor, poor Livvy is having a hard time dealing with the loss of Charlie. She shares with Peter the first time she met Charlie and awwwww. There was also an ADORABLE moment where Olivia and Peter are both wearing their college shirts in the hotel. Oh my god I love this show so much. I forgive it for killing Charlie.

This Week's Code: BETRAY.

Fox is betraying me, by taking this off the air for a few weeks for baseball. This was a GREAT episode.

I've been watching Fringe since the beginning too. Really enjoy your recaps. I read them rather than rewatching all the episodes.

Didn't know about the code thing, gonna have to check that out.

You might get a kick out of this. We just recently started having Fringe parties...we get together and watch each episode. We eat whatever food was mentioned in the previous episode as our snack. Since we just started, we went back to powdered donuts (worm smoothies wasn't enticing anyone). Next week, we're doing Ciabatta bread (Astrid brought him some this last episode).

Thanks for the awesome recaps!
