First, a quick recapulet of last season('s finale):
Every time you do or don't do something, an alternate universe is created in which you didn't or did do that something, respectively. On Fringe, because JJ can barely keep his shows separate, we will pretend there are only two such universities. The Peter we know and love is actually from "over there", as the show will call it, and was brought over here by our Walter after his Peter died. Germy Jones (or, Dumbly #1's real-life son) tried to go through Platform 9-3/4 but Peter closed off the barrier between the two worlds and sliced him in half. William Bell, head of Big Brother organization Massive Dynamic, resides over there. Nina Sharp told Olivia to meet her at a hotel, Olivia nearly got in a monster truck rally but didn't, the elevator flickered and she apparated to "over there", had a nice chat with Bell and the end.
Now, a montague of last night's season premiere:
A man hits-and-runs to an apartment in NYC pretending to be a Ming Gardens delivery boy. He manages his way into a man's apartment and kills him. Then he smashes his own face in to look like Quirrell-Voldy, sticks one end of a double-headed three-sharply pronged plug up into roof of dead guy's mouth and the other into his own, and re-inflates his face to look like dead guy. Painful, but faster than Polyjuice for sure.
Back at the scene of the crime, new character, Enough's Agent Jessup learns that while there is no driver in either car, the one that didn't run but was actually never there is our very own Olivia. Walter arrives, changes Liv's station from Z100 to Hot97 and she apparates straight through the car's windshield. At the hospital, the doc says Liv's injuries are so serious that she'll probs never regain her conscience and so DNR. Straight to the bar to have a scotch (whiskey? bourbon?) neat - seriously, after Jon Hamm and Joshy, this is apparently the trick to having me love you - Peter gets more bad news from Broyles that the Fringe Division has been laid off. Damn, economy.
Joshy goes to say goodbye to Liv when she wakes up and Trelawneys him some Prophecy, which we later learn is Greek for "be a better man than your father", coincidentally what his mom used to tell him as a child. In a somewhat refreshing moment of non-stoicitude, Liv freaks out about last night's party and some dude telling her she had to do something but she couldn't remember who he or what it was. We've all had those nights, Liv.
Joshy goes to the FBI but the Fat Lady tells him his password has expired. Little Miss Jessup to the rescue, ugh. How quickly you let her into your life, Peter. Peter and Ketchup use Marauder to find the dead guy in the apartment and take him back to Walter to autopsy. Of course, Walter knows all about the three-pronger because of one time this girl did lines off a Ouji board; cue video of Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty talking to mice, except in this case it's shape shifters.
Speaking of Capri-sun, Voldy goes to Borgin and Burkes and requests a Nimbus 251 typewriter which wasn't made in our world but sits in the Room of Requirement. It functions like Tom Riddle's diary and informs him that Liv is still alive and he needs to make that stop. And so he Padfoots and Prongs a nurse to gain access into the Gryffindor common room, pries a bed-ridden Liv for where someone (Bell) said something (dunno) was hidden, and starts to choke her when she doesn't remember. Ketchup to the rescue again, ugh again, but still Voldy escapes to the hospital Chamber of Secrets.
Peter, Charlie, and Ketchup go looking for Voldy. Charlie finds and shoots her and is left to hang out with her merely stupefied self (while Peter and Ketchup go to his birthday party), only to be pronged and turned into meat pie (HP, Sweens, same diff...). Peter really should've checked Facebook before telling Liv all was well. But at least he had the smarts to steal Voldy's prongy Horcrux to prove to the Ministry that there is real work to be done and that The Order should be reinstated. The show must go on, after all.
And Nina Sharp kissed Broyley on the lippies, ewwww!
My divinations:
That time Peter drowned as a baby, he actually died, but Alien Baldy brought Walter "over there" Peter as a replacement, which understandably really pissed "over there" Walter off. Other Walter (again with "The Others", JJ!) is still bffls with William Bell and has started up this army of Shape Shifters to try and get Peter back. And just so they can't date in this world or any other, Olivia is actually Peter's mom somehow.
