wendelah1I enjoyed this episode much more than the last one. We get our first hint that those bald guys wearing the suits and funny hats might represent a real threat. Olivia meets with Yoda bowling alley owner Sam Weiss so that he can fix her. She gets so pissed off at his Zen Master act that she actually pulls her gun on him, though he doesn't lose his cool. Now that she's stopped shaking and can walk without the cane, maybe the next thing on her agenda should be...anger management?

Synopsis: Astrid jump-starts this investigation into a mysterious explosion which leads the Fringe team to a top secret military experiment in Iraq and an AWOL colonel who engineered the explosion "to send them a message."
Most Memorable Quote:
RAYMOND GORDON: (steadfast) ...meanwhile, we go through our lives unaware. The enemy is among us and nobody's doing anything about it. We don't have any idea the end is coming. So we had to take matters into our own hands. We had to send them a message.
BROYLES: What was in the briefcase?
RAYMOND GORDON: They told you I was crazy, didn't they? The Pentagon. They said I'd had a psychiatric break. I told them what I'm telling you. That they are here. Collecting data. Making observations. That's what's in the briefcase. They've been planning for war. And they've been passing the information via courier right under our noses.
(as the interview continues, a young man in a long dark coat walks into a diner and delivers a briefcase to a seated man, then leaves)
BROYLES: Who are 'they'?
RAYMOND GORDON: We don't know who they are. But I can tell you what they want. They want to exterminate us.
(the man seated in the diner pours an entire container of black pepper over his roast beef and jalapeño sandwich, then opens the briefcase he received from the courier)
RAYMOND GORDON: So they're studying us... our culture, our technology, our science... and they plan to use it against us. One way or another. We'll find out who they are. But by then, I suppose it won't really matter.
(The Observer pulls images out of the briefcase. High-tech surveillance images of one Walter Bishop)
RAYMOND GORDON: Because whatever's in those cases is gonna destroy us all.
