Farewell, Fringe, my love. I still feel like this season has been meh. But the previous seasons were amazing. So it all evens out. I'm going to miss my show either way.
I still don't get the whole Plan to Reset Time. Baby Observer goes into the future at just the right time so someone's all, "Let's not create Observers????" Whatever. I don't buy it. But OK. He's important. I get it.
Time to get Old!Broyles in on this. He finds out where Baby Observer is being held, beneath the ruined Statue of Liberty. Windmark's interrogating him but getting nowhere, just developing a bloody nose and a popped blood vessel in his eye for the trouble. So it's time to bring out the tech to really get at this kid.
The only way into the facility on Liberty Island? Use the Other Universe. Good thing Walter has some old Cortexiphan lying around to reactivate Olivia's ability. Plus they use the Other Universe Window to take a peek first and make sure the Observers haven't invaded there too. All looks clear, so they go for it. Time for a bunch of shots of Cortexiphan to the ol' brain stem for poor Olivia.
OTHER UNIVERSE TIME!!!!! My favorite place. Chelsea Clinton leads in the Presidential race. And Lincoln Lee is BACK! He and Fauxlivia are married and have a grown-ass son. And Fauxlivia is rocking some fabulous gray in her hair. God, I love Fauxlivia. I guess that's what the show was missing this season. No crazy Freaks of the Week, no Awesome Dual Universes, no funny Walter food things. Observers (and dystopian futures) were better in small doses.
Olivia crosses over into the room where they were holding Baby Observer. Only they've moved him because they're going to disassemble him. Now that doesn't sound good. And Olivia's starting to kind of phase in between both universes, her Cortexiphan wearing off. She gets to the kid just as they're about to strip him for parts, and they make it back to the Other Universe. But an Observer follows. Good thing Lincoln and Fauxlivia Lee take care of the situation. Olivia makes it back over with Baby Observer.
Windmark finds out Broyles was behind the exposure of Baby Observer's location. So he's pissed, as usual. He figures out Broyles is going to meet our Team, so he has someone follow him. Too bad Broyles is too smart for that and notices them following. Broyles is captured. Uh-oh.
Donald/September built a machine in the lab whilst everyone was off gallivanting across universes. He pays a visit to an old Observer pal to get a piece he needs. Time to open a wormhole to the year 2167, and Walter has to accompany the kid. Walter and Peter say a Sad Bishop Goodbye.
Oh but they can't get that piece they need from the Observer because the Bad Observers have caught up to him, killed him, and taken the tech. Windmark knows they are trying to reset time. Astrid comes up with an idea to use one of the Observer's "shipping lanes" as a wormhole.
Donald/September says he should be the one to escort the kid into the future. Yeah, DUH, you should be! Walter doesn't need to do this shit. Take your bald kid and get into the future!!!
There is some great grossness, and Olivia and Peter unleash all the different contaminants, poisons, and foreign bodies from the past 5 years into the ventilation system at Observer HQ. Observers dropping left and right from various Freaks of the Weeks Greatest Hits. Our Team gets whatever tech they need from Observer HQ to take over the shipping lane.
Windmark finds them and starts beating the crap out of Peter and Olivia. Til Olivia summons her electrical powers and has him pwned by a car. R.I.P. Windmark you bastard.
Donald/September is killed in a shootout running toward the wormhole. So now it really is up to Walter to take the kid over. Bye bye, Walter.
We're back to the point where Olivia, Peter, and little Etta are in the park. But this time, no Observer invasion. Happy ending, but what happened to my Walterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
This Week's Final Code: *sob* LOVED and CLOSE *I'll miss you*
