    Fringe S3E11 'Reciprocity'

    Fox Publicity sez: "When the Fringe Team visits Massive Dynamic's
    assembly of doomsday device, Walter becomes greatly concerned for
    Peter's well-being, so he turns to Nina for added brain power to
    understand the relationship between Peter and the super-weapon.
    Meanwhile, the discovery of a dead body triggers an intense investigation."

    In the opening sequence, the main characters discuss the encrypted
    computer hard drive that has been accessed since last episode. Walter
    Bishop explains that his son, Peter, guessed the password: "It was a
    song lyric. Fauxlivia ruined U2 for all of us." Though it is never
    revealed in the episode, the U2 song in question must be "One," which
    has the lines "We're one, but we're not the same."



    Fringe S3E12 'Concentrate and Ask Again'

    Fox Publicity sez: When a scientist falls dead after ingesting a lethal
    cloud of blue powder and his bones disintegrate in his body, the CDC
    suspects a biological attack. As the Fringe Team investigates further, a subject from Walter's past with ties to Olivia reluctantly agrees to
    assist with the intense case.

    The glyphs for this episode spell out: HATCH

    Dr. Walter Bishop: Why would anyone kill a scientist? What did we ever do? Peter Bishop: [sarcastically] Really?

    Dr. Walter Bishop: [wearing hazmat suit, enters room with body] Oh, my.
    Look at this. I feel nauseated.
    Peter Bishop: [sincerely] Yeah, this is pretty disgusting, even by our standards.
    Dr. Walter Bishop: [abashed] I'm not talking about the body. I fear I
    may have broken wind inside my suit.
    (Walter clearly has his priorities straight!)

    Concentrate and ask again is one of the 20 possible answers provided by
    the Mattel "fortune-telling" novelty toy the Magic 8-Ball.
