Fringe- The Box review/recap

The mysterious happening of the week was that three robbers were looking for a box in the basement of the house they were robbing. They had been hired by Thomas Jerome Newton to find the box and were curious as to what was in it. When they opened it, it killed two of the robbers, plus the captive family. The third robber escaped unharmed, because it was the sound waves from inside the box that killed. The box was a piece of the doomsday machine that will supposedly destroy our world. You know, the one that Peter is the human interface for. The gang found the device and Peter managed to disarm it before it killed more people. This plot wasn’t the main action in the episode.

Olivia is still trapped in the alternate universe while Faux-Livia is living Olivia’s life and macking on Olivia’s man. This is not smart of you, Pretend Olivia. When real Olivia gets back, she is going to wipe you off this dimension. There was a great scene in this episode where fake Olivia hid a dead body from Peter and distracted him with some tender lovin’ as blood drained out her bathroom door. Walter attempted to make the lab cow produce chocolate milk. His coworkers were less excited by this attempt than they should have been. That would change the world, that would. You know that would be awesome if someone did that! Walter and Peter also went to the reading of William Bell’s will. William Bell left Walter a key and a piece of paper with the sentence, “Don’t be afraid to cross the line.” Walter tried to talk to Peter about kidnapping him and apologize, but Peter wasn’t ready to hear it and walked out. Poor Walter. Fake Olivia informed her bosses that she had gotten Peter to start working on the machine. Their response was that she should "start working on Walter." We also found out that the key William Bell left him was to a safe deposit box which left Walter all the shares to Massive Dynamic. WOW. We can’t wait for Walter to take over. This show has gotten so much better since the first season.

Episode grade- B+
