211"A New Day in the Old Town"Akiva GoldsmanJ.J. Abrams & Akiva GoldsmanSeptember 17, 2009 (2009-09-17)9.961[3]
Olivia's SUV is discovered to have caused a car accident in downtown Manhattan. After the crash, the other car driver involved runs away and kills a civilian, then takes his form, revealing him to be an extra-universal shapeshifter. FBI agents, led by Agent Amy Jessup, arrive at the crash site, only to find Olivia's car empty. Walter, after tampering with the car's equipment, realizes that Olivia is coming back to "our world," however she is severely injured and brain-dead as a result of being ejected through the windshield. Amy Jessup, new to the world of Fringe Division, is stunned by seeing this and searches for more information on what they do. Meanwhile, Philip Broyles travels to Washington, D.C., in order to present the US Senate with reasons not to shut down his FBI division. However, he is informed that Fringe Division will be officially terminated. Outside the US Senate building, Nina Sharp states that Fringe division must continue, but Massive Dynamic can't help. Then they share a kiss. The doctors are about to pull the plug on Olivia when Peter whispers to her and she wakes up, uttering the Greek sentence "na einai kalytero(s) anthropo(s) apo ton patera toy" (To be a better man than his father). The shapeshifter receives orders from another dimension to question Olivia and then kill her. He questions Olivia in the form of her nurse. When Olivia tells him that she can't remember anything, the Shapeshifter begins to choke her, only to be stopped by the sudden arrival of Amy Jessup and the FBI, forcing him to flee to the hospital's basement. The Shapeshifter is then found and supposedly killed by Charlie Francis. Peter gives the transformation device to Broyles, in order to show it to the Senate and convince them that Fringe Division must remain operational. Later, while Walter, Astrid and the others are celebrating Peter's birthday, we discover that the real Charlie Francis is dead and the shapeshifter is now disguised as Charlie.

A highway construction worker is pulled into an underground tunnel filled with human remains, and the Fringe division is called in to investigate. Meanwhile, Walter attempts to recreate Olivia's cross-dimensional travel using frogs. The investigation into the missing worker reveals that the town was linked to other recent disappearances. While investigating the events, Olivia begins to experience super-hearing as a side effect from traveling to the alternate universe. They discover that all disappearances occurred near the house of a local resident and former doctor who lost his wife and baby in childbirth. The team digs up the caskets of the wife and son, but the baby's casket is empty. Walter discovers that the boy's father genetically altered him while in the womb to survive his wife's Lupus, and he is still alive and feeding on people. Olivia and Peter are attacked by the baby underneath the house but a tunnel collapse crushes the "superbaby." Nina Sharp contacts Olivia and gives her the name of a man who can help with the effects of her trip to the alternate universe. The shape-shifter disguised as Charlie receives orders to figure out a way to force Olivia to remember the details of her trip.

There is an explosion in a train station that leaves no trace of any explosive device. Walter finds the remains of a human body who was not identified as one of the deceased. He heads back to the lab to examine the remains. He discovers that this person was actually the bomb. He had been injected with a mysterious compound regularly for a few years as part of a secret military experiment. Olivia and Peter head to Iraq, where Peter has connections with someone who may have been involved in the government project. They learn the names of everyone involved in the experiment, one of whom is the wife of the man who exploded. They return to America, where she has been tricked into being the next bomb. Olivia and Peter prevent the explosion and take the man responsible into custody. He suggests that the bombs were intended to eliminate agents operating for 'The Observer.' Nina Sharp's contact cures Olivia of her inability to walk.
244"Momentum Deferred"Joe ChappelleZack Stentz & Ashley Edward MillerOctober 8, 20096.015[6]
Fringe division investigates a series of robberies of human heads that are linked to shapeshifters. Olivia is given a memory-jogging concoction by Walter made of flatworms. Walter finds that the shapeshifters are made of mercury and that the shapeshifter they thought was dead is still alive. Walter and Peter visit the woman that Walter experimented on with LSD to see what she might still remember about the shapeshifters from her visions. She immediately remembers Walter and volunteers to help. Back in the lab, they give her a dose of LSD and she sees the shapeshifters again. Olivia has a sudden rush of memories regarding her meeting with William Bell. He draws a symbol and says that the shapeshifters are looking for someone with that symbol on his head. He also tells Olivia that she is the only person strong enough to be the gatekeeper between the dimensions, because "The Storm" is coming. After Olivia wakes from her memories, she visits Nina Sharp, who explains that "The Storm" is William Bell's theory that when the two dimensions collide, only one will remain in existence. The shapeshifters are trying to cause this. Outside, Olivia discovers that Charlie is the missing shapeshifter and kills him. At the end, the shapeshifters find the head they were looking for and attach it to its body.
