fringe_rewatchor, the mpreg episode.
Fringe: winning at trope bingo since 2008.
Not a great episode, but our best Charlie spotlight, and the only appearance of his wife Sonia.
Writer: Zack Whedon, J.R. Orci
Director: Brad Anderson
Originally aired: 14 Apr 2009
Synopsis:
Animal rights anarchists ransack a laboratory and are killed by a ferocious hybrid creature. Walter's early work in 'Radical Transgenics' resurfaces after decades, and nearly costs a team member their life. Doctor Bishop's internal torment bubbles dangerously close to the boiling point as he starts to struggle with his sanity again.
Most Memorable Quote:
CHARLIE: You know, hunting this thing in the sewers... It's not a good idea, Liv.
OLIVIA: You got a better idea?
CHARLIE: Yeah. Don't get hurt for me.
OLIVIA: Well, that's not really very fair considering you would do the same thing for me.

Hey, I have recs. Charlie-focused, not necessarily from this episode but some of my favorites.
Doomed by Neuroses-Isn't-Just-A-Word (Charlie/Sonia)
Redheads, Blondes, and Brunettes by Rainer (Charlie/Sonia)

Date: 2014-06-03 01:53 am (UTC)I thought the dialogue between Peter and Walter seemed way off. They didn't have their A-team writing this one.
More flirting that won't go anywhere between Peter and Rachel.
I liked that episode began with Olivia reassuring Ella that monsters weren't real and ended with Olivia going to sleep with her bedroom light left on. Monsters are real in the Fringe universe and it's only going to get harder to get to sleep not easier. I have a really pretty icon somewhere of Olivia reading to Ella.
I also liked Walter taking responsibility for past misdeeds and trying to atone by saving Charlie. He's willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of another.
