Man, for a character who shows up in all of three(!) episodes, this guy has a huge impact on the mythology of the show. And on fanfic imagination.

Writer: Akiva Goldsman
Director: Akiva Goldsman
Originally aired: April 21, 2009
Synopsis:
Olivia witnesses a suicide in New York while asleep and dreaming in Boston. When a second deadly vision happens, Broyles puts his trust in Olivia and deploys the team to investigate further. As details emerge, Olivia uncovers new information regarding the ZFT manuscript, the experimental drug Cortexiphan, and that the case may be tied to her own past.
Most Memorable Quote:
NICK LANE: Olive. You heard me. You heard me - you came. You were always the strong one. Whenever I got scared, you could make me feel better. Do you remember, Olive?
OLIVIA: I’m sorry, no, I don't.
NICK LANE: That’s okay. I think they meant for us to forget. I just couldn't. I did what they told us. I waited, Olive. The soldier to come is both natural and unnatural. I waited to be called up. You stay fit; stay focused, and stay ready. I wore the blacks and grays. I blended in. But the call never came. It never came. Then, that man with the glasses, he showed up at the hospital. He spoke all the old words. He said they're coming. He needed warriors. He said... "what was written will come to pass." He said he knew how to wake me up. I shouldn't have listened to him. Sometimes what we wake up, it can't be put back to sleep.

Fanfiction:
I wasn't reading Fringe fic at the time, but judging by the dates on the Nick Lane tag on AO3, his appearance really did wake something up. For AU fic written on the heels of this episode, see:
Choke Chain series by Chichuri
Ways and Means series by Elfin
