Later, Mathis informs Peter that her partner has been taken. Frustrated she cannot call the FBI for help for fear her partner will never be seen again, Mathis agrees to work with Peter. Meanwhile, Walter outbursts in public, fearing that Peter will not come back to him. Peter and Mathis head back to where Krista’s murder took place and Peter encounters Newton and his henchmen, but they get away. After the discovery of another murder, Peter begins to doubt the shapeshifters’ motivies but eventually comes up with an idea to read and track the victims’ adrenaline spikes, which will let him find where the murders took place. They finally narrow down the location to a dairy farm. After Peter discovers the farm owner is responsible, the owner attempts to kill him but Peter manages to knock him down. The owner confesses that he kidnapped the women as they rejected him, while Mathis’ partner was kidnapped and tortured when he discovered the culprit.

Two teenagers turn up dead, displaying wounds that are trademarks of the shape shifters. The Fringe Division discovers a shape shifting embryo and Walter returns to his lab to analyze the evidence, while Olivia and Peter go to Massive Dynamic in search for answers. Using interference from a TV broadcast, they theorize that a synchronization event allowed the shapeshifters to appear and another event is due the next afternoon. Meanwhile, Walter attempts to use huge amounts of electricity on the supposedly dead embryo and causes it to revive briefly. When the shapeshifter expires, it takes Walter’s hand and apologizes to him. Thomas Jerome Newton, the shapeshifters’ leader, orders the surviving shapeshifters to take the identities of selected individuals to set up beacons in different spots to open a portal between dimensions. The Fringe Division eventually figures out the three spots the shapeshifters are setting up, which is on a bridge. While Olivia and Peter deal with the shapeshifters, Walter drives off by himself to the bridge as Newton activates his device. Peter takes over for Walter to set up a wave cancellation device to nullify the vibration waves and close the portal and is knocked out. Peter awakens a day later in the hospital, and tells Walter that he saw a man on the Other Side just before he lost consciousness. As Walter told Peter that the vibration waves would kill anyone in close proximity, Peter figures out that he and the man on the Other Side are immune to the effects, therefore he is also from the Other Side. Peter then puts two and two together and realizes that Walter brought him over to this dimension when he was a child. Furious, he tells Walter that he’s not his son and to leave him alone. Meanwhile, the man on the Other Side manages to enter this dimension but suffers effects from the cancellation wave, with Newton taking care of his recovering. Later, Olivia tells Walter that Peter has checked himself out of the hospital and is gone.

Passengers aboard a commuter train suddenly die, and the Fringe division discovers that all electrical equipment, as well as the bodies themselves, have been drained of power. While Walter prepares to reveal the truth to Peter, the team eventually discover that a man was last seen leaving the train during the time of the incident and pursue this lead. Following the man’s movements through surveillance cameras throughout the city, the Fringe division discovers his identity: Alistair Peck, an astrophysics professor teaching at MIT. When the division and police raid his house, Peck returns home and they hold him at gunpoint. Walter finds out that Peck experimented on his body to convert himself into a living temporal pocket. Before they can stop him, Peck escapes and returns to the moment in the train, revealing himself to be able to use his body to time travel. Learning from his mistakes, Peck makes more modifications to himself, becoming more of an abomination. Walter discovers that Peck’s time travel caused the people in the train to die and theorizes that the professor may have experienced several loops, while Olivia understands why Peck is time-travelling; in order to save his fiancée from a car crash several months ago. The division finds that Peck is hiding in MIT to perfect his work. Walter volunteers to go inside before the authorities move in and dissuade Peck from continuing his quest. Walter warns Peck that the energy he uses in time-travelling back further into the past would cause more deaths to occur but the professor is convinced no collateral damage would be done. Walter tells Peck about the truth of what he did that caused disastrous consequences going so far as to explain he had never believed in God prior to his stealing Peter at which point he intuitively knew he had violated God’s domain and had since prayed frequently for a sign of God’s forgiveness. Peck escapes when the SWAT forces arrive to take him down and returns hours into the past and writes a letter before he returns further back into the past just before his fiancée died. He manages to reunite with her moments before they are both killed in the car crash. With the time-travel incident never happened before, Walter writes a letter to Peter telling him of his origin, similar to the beginning of the episode. However, after finishing it, he burns it. He later receives the letter Peck wrote him, revealing to be just a hand-drawn picture of a white tulip, telling him to forgive himself.

Meanwhile, the Fringe division investigates the case of a woman who mysteriously drops dead from a disease she never even had and the team must discover its origins before it can claim more lives. The victim suffered from an rapid advanced stage of cancer that no living being should have survived. Eventually, more deaths occur and the Fringe division discovers that all victims were once test subjects in the school at Jacksonville. Walter concludes that the murderer is someone who has the ability to transfer his cancer to Cortexiphan subjects to delay his own demise. After getting no further clues from Nina Sharp and Walter, Olivia goes through the list of test subjects and finds a man, James Heath, responsible for the deaths. However, Heath is directed from the other subjects he killed to Olivia and assaults her, attempting to pass his disease over to her. Olivia fights back and keeps him at bay until Peter and the police arrive.

However the method failed and Heath accidentally caused the death of his sister through his touch, who was also at Jacksonville. Massive Dynamic has Heath kept in a coma until they can do something about his abilities, with Nina and Broyles discussing the possibility that someone may be using the Jacksonville subjects for nefarious purposes.

When a building in Manhattan is destroyed in a bizarre earthquake that transports another building from the alternate dimension literally inside of it, Walter realizes that to correct the unbalance created by the incident, another building of the same mass in Manhattan will vanish into the alternate dimension, along with everyone inside. To identify which building it will be, Olivia must use her ability to recognize things from the other dimension, seeing them with a strange aura. She can not seem to tap into this ability, however, so the team travels to Jacksonville, Florida, to the site of Olivia’s childhood drug trials. Walter injects Olivia with Cortexiphan, and she has a strange vision of a forest where she sees herself as a young and terrified child. After she wakes up, she scolds Walter for doing such horrible things to children. Walter realizes that the only way for Olivia’s ability to work is if she feels fear, which she is no longer able to do. They travel back to New York, and when Olivia realizes she can’t save the lives of countless New Yorkers, (during a romantic moment with Peter) she feels her fear and is able to use her ability once again. She identifies the building that is set to vanish and it is evacuated mere moments before it disappears. Afterward, Olivia is about to go out for drinks with Peter when she sees the same “alternate universe” energy radiate from him, and realizes that he is from the “other side.” Walter pleads with Olivia not to tell Peter.
