Last night ’s episode sport a mind - controlling adolescent with a penchant for violence . But that ’s not why Astrid has her tinfoil hat firmly in situation . We also find out something sinister about our incorporated friend at Massive Dynamic .
Once again , we had an episode that look like a mystery - of - the - week from the outset , but cease up connecting to the show ’s overarching mythology . The installment itself was fairly aboveboard : adolescent boy withmind controlpowers bull his own snatch , tries to wring from Massive Dynamic ( where his sire bring ) for the ransom , then kidnap Peter for a fun killing fling ( with time out at a strip nightclub ) . But , as always , there ’s a little more perish on beneath the surface :
Mommy topic : The relationships between sire and sons has been a freehanded theme on Fringe of late , but this time we also get into the issue of absent mothers . Tyler , the 15 - twelvemonth - old who can check mass ’s mind , is on a quest to find the mother he never knew , and Walter finds himself reminiscing about Peter ’s female parent . There ’s been a lot of predict in these episodes , and given that William Bell recited Peter ’s mother ’s maxim to Olivia , we could be preparing for a meeting between Peter and his over there female parent . Plus , how smashing is it that Walter seek to counteract Tyler ’s mind control by playing the sound babies hear in the womb ?
Leading Walter by the Nose : It ’s a piddling distressing how well monolithic Dynamic know how to misrepresent Walter , though I suppose they fuck more than enough about him and his enquiry from William Bell . They cognize exactly what variety of research to fabricate , what questions he ’ll ask . They even experience to tell him that Tyler is taking ADD medicine . Walter say he does n’t trust them , but the squad took this one a bit too much at side value .
Penrose - Carson Experiments : So , at the remainder of the episode , we get word that Tyler ’s female parent is not actually his mother , but a surrogate , and that Tyler is the result of one of monumental Dynamic ’s experiments , namely the Penrose - Carson Experiments . Carson is Tyler ’s father , but we ’ve also met Penrose before . Clause Penrose is the creator / father of Christopher Penrose , the pituitary - feed comrade from last time of year . We bed that there are multiple Christophers , and it sound like there may be multiple Tylers as well . So perhaps we will be seeing Dr. Penrose soon and get more of these funny experiments Massive Dynamic is execute .
Astrid Action : Astrid manage to tippytoe into the field this week . She ’s the one who noticed the odd searches on Tyler ’s computer and she drive the car while
Walter Moment of the hebdomad : Walter and Astrid talk over what human brain might taste like was a close second , but this calendar week ’s winner fail to Walter ’s tinfoil chapeau — to keep Massive Dynamic from reading his brain . It ’s a licit concern , but I ’m not sure the hat is going to keep Nina Sharp at bay . But hey , he even got Astrid to wear one , and it looks kind of voguish on her .
