Ok, so Fringe is no Lost, right… it´s still from the same guy, so it´s all good. And it has the only non annoying Dawson´s Creek Alumni (Well… besides Michelle of course!). Yesterday a new episode of Fringe aired called Midnight. Here are all the spoilers of Fringe
Complete Recap and Spoilers of Fringe 1×18 – Midnight
A man gets dressed as a news report about a gruesome murder plays on the TV. The body was mutilated by what might have been a hunting knife, the reporter says. The man folds up a hunting knife and puts it in his pocket.
After parking, the man, Bob, answers a call from a woman, asking where he was last night. She called and couldn’t reach him. She’s out of town. He lies to her about having a business meeting as he goes into a club, scoping chicks. He finds a blonde he likes, but her date interrupts. He finds another girl, who has that sort of dead-around the eyes look, except her eyes are straight up Debbie Gibson electric blue. He tells her, too, that he can tell she’s his kind of girl.
Back at his place, they make out. And then she snaps his neck. Just like that.
Bob’s girlfriend calls and can’t reach him. The girl fixes her make-up in the mirror. Bob lies, not just dead, but totally decapitated and neck shredded, on the bed.
Olivia and her sister host a couple who tell them how they met online, through a service called TwoSinglesTogether.
Rachel answers the doorbell. It’s divorce papers from her husband.
Olivia gets a call from work.
They check out shredded Bob. He died the same way as the victim two nights ago. Walter says the decapitation and shredded neck reminds him of shrimp cocktail. He elaborates, but on the off chance you might eat shrimp cocktail again, we’ll leave that out.
Peter checks to make sure Olivia’s OK as Walter finds bite marks on Bob’s neck. His spine’s been chewed out. Walter is sure it was done by something exciting.
Olivia briefs Broyles. Bob’s car is missing. Also, Olivia asks Broyles if he is satisfied with his divorce attorney. She gets the number. He guesses it’s for her sister.
At the lab, Walter does two autopsies, really enjoying himself. Astrid brings the lab work. Their spinal columns were drained of fluid. They also have traces of the syphilis bacteria. “Great, so the killer has syphilis,” Peter says, “should have worn gloves.” More interestingly, the syphilis strain is ancient.
Olivia visits the CDC. A nervous man tells her a lab ordered it four weeks ago. The lab also ordered others throughout the years. The lab also ordered a compound used in bioweapons, the same compound used to kill Agent Kent (whose eyes and mouth grew shut with skin). It could be ZFT.
Olivia and an assault squad storm the lab, which is in a house in a residential neighborhood. Inside, Olivia finds a dog in a cage with the same electric blue eyes the woman who shredded Bob had. They find a man sawing on an animal.
They bring in Dr. Nicholas Boone, a mild mannered scientist in a wheelchair. Olivia and Charlie show him the pictures and ask what happened. Charlie asks how long he’s been a follower of ZFT. Boone reacts like he’s heard of it.
He says someone was dosed, but they have to help him. They have his wife.
He says he’s being punished by ZFT because he tried to get out when he realized what his work was being used for.
Olivia tells Broyles that Boone’s wife hasn’t been to work in three weeks. She’s tired of seeing people die (81 Fringe cases so far, not counting the airplane).
Boone gives them an address where he says his wife is being held. A restaurant in Chinatown that’s burning five times the power it should be.
The Bishops visit Boone’s house lab. They check out the split open animal and blood everywhere. Walter pokes around.
Charlie and Olivia prepare to lead an assault on the restaurant. Rachel calls Olivia in tears. Her soon to be ex is suing for sole custody of her daughter Ella. Despite the fact she’s surrounded by SWAT-like men in a moving van, Olivia takes the time to talk her down, before excusing herself for a “meeting.”
In the restaurant they find food and cooks, as might be expected. Olivia, who it turns out speaks Chinese, asks an employee where Boone’s wife is.
At HQ, Broyles tells Boone his wife isn’t there. He knows. He wants to talk to Olivia. He directs her to a refrigeration unit. Inside is filled with vials of the contagion. He needs it to make an antidote. ZFT didn’t kidnap his wife, they dosed her. She’s the one doing the killing.
Valerie Boone lurks hungrily outside a club. She spies a young stud, whose spinal fluid must look tasty. He drives her home. As he kisses her in the car, he notices that she’s burning up. She apologizes, then develops razor teeth and gnaws into his neck.
Roxbury, Mass. Police and FBI check out the latest spinal scene.
Broyles shows Olivia a video camera found in Boone’s house, telling her to note the date. She brings it in for Boone. It shows him filming his wife. He’s standing then running and leaping. Not in a wheelchair.
The video was taken three weeks ago. Olivia asks him to explain. He says his wife needs to feed, she can’t help it. He began to feed her his spinal fluid until he couldn’t give any more. The contagion burns through her spinal fluid.
He says ZFT wanted him to create a human nightmare. He also created the skin growth toxin. They wanted to show off. He made six vials. He wants to work on the antidote and then he’ll tell them everything.
They take Boone to Walter’s lab, where the two scientists dork out.
Charlie calls Olivia. They found Dead Bob’s car. It’s totally stripped.
Walter and Boone think they can kill the super syphilis with super penicillin.
When Olivia tells Peter about the stripped car, Peter says he knows a guy.
Olivia talks to Mako the fence, who tells her the GPS was wiped for resale. But he tells her where they found the car. Walter tells Boone he’s honored to have his intellect in his lab. Boone knows it’s high praise. They talk science until it comes around to Walter’s former partner, William Bell, head of Massive Dynamic.
Weymouth, Mass (where Mako boosted the car) Olivia and Peter try to figure out what Boone’s wife was doing there. Peter looks in the bushes and finds another body.
Walter and Boone prep to try the antidote on the rat. They shoot it up as Peter wheels in two more bodies. Olivia asks Boone where his wife is getting her victims.
Astrid says one reeks of alcohol. Astrid uses a black light to check the men for club stamps. She recognizes one. When the lights come back on they see that the test rat is dead. Boone begs Olivia to capture his wife alive.
Olivia and Peter go clubbing. Victoria is there. Peter uses a heat sensor to scan for Valerie’s super hot body heat.
At the lab Walter thinks they’re missing something. Boone says the contagion requires cerebral spinal fluid and the antidote must as well. He says the only spinal fluid they know is compatible is his. He says he’s got enough left. Walter goes for it.
In the club, Peter finally finds Valerie, but they lose her.
Walter draws spinal fluid from Boone, who notices a nearby video camera and finds it interesting.
Valerie leaves the club and Charlie hits her with a tranquilizer.
Walter works on another antidote but Boone isn’t doing well. Walter knows Boone lied to him about having enough spinal fluid. Boone asks him how far he’d go for someone he loves.
Peter and Olivia drive a tranqued-out Valerie to the lab. They think she’ll be out for hours. Naturally, she isn’t. She opens her eyes.
Peter and Olivia talk about the kind of love that would make Boone go to great lengths as Valerie pops up, bares teeth and goes after Olivia. Peter, still driving, gets Olivia’s tranq gun and shoots her up again.
In the lab, Boone has had a stroke but can watch as they inject his wife. She shrieks a high pitched whine and thrashes then goes limp. Walter checks her eyes. They go from freaky blue to a more normal color. Olivia checks on Boone. He has died.
As paramedics wheel Valerie away, Walter gives Olivia the video Boone asked him to give her.
She and Peter watch it. Boone held up his end of the deal. He tells her about ZFT, which includes some names he thinks she’s already heard (we don’t get to hear more).
Olivia goes into a bar and finds Broyles. She tells him Boone says the man funding ZFT is William Bell.
Christopher Gaudet, who played Wally in Instant Star is turning 20 years old.
