They can have it, but they will not shut us down

Fringe premier tonight.

As you'll recall, Fringe ended last season with Olivia going "over there" and meeting William Bell, played by Leonard Nimoy. If you need a refresher check out this post from May.

This one opened with a man running from the scene of Olvia's accident in New York, chasing another man. He killed him and then changed his form, to look like the other man.

Next we had Walter and Peter in a supermarket, where we learn that Peter's birthday is coming up and Walter wants to make him a custard. Peter then gets a call reporting Olivia's accident. They rush to New York.

At the accident site they meet an agent from there who informs them that although there's been a crash, there's no one in the car. After Walter inspects the scene Olivia shoots through the windshield and is brought to the hospital, where she is declared brain dead. Peter and Walter are both devastated and deal in their way. Walter gets to work on how to fix this, and Peter drinks.

While at a bar, Agent Broyles tells Peter that the government has decided to shut down the Fringe division, because he can't show them results. This gets Peter thinking. He goes back to the hospital and talks to Olivia's sister. She tells him Olivia had a living will and didn't want to be kept alive. Going in to say good bye, he sits at her side, and she wakes up, her eyes black, says something in Greek and then wakes up. She's babbling, but tells Peter that she went there, and met with him. When he asks where and who, she can't answer. She becomes more coherent and asks Peter for her gun. He agrees to get it and goes to the FBI building to see what this means for him. He's kicked out, until the New York agent gets him in and starts asking questions. He agrees to show her Fringe.

The guy who shape shifted goes into a shop and asks the owner for a certain model of something, the owner says that such a model doesn't exist, the number was skipped. This is our first clue that he's from "over there." He ends up killing the owner, and then going after Olivia.

Basically it all ended in the New York agent joining up with the Fringe team, Olivia remembering the use of her gun, and the assassin killing Charlie and assuming his identity, making him the ultimate threat to Olivia.

Peter and Agent Boyle agree to share some things with the government to keep Fringe going...then it ended.

It's going to be a good season
