* TakeAThirdOption: At the climax, Nick hands Olivia a gun and begs her to kill him, because it's either that or he kills himself -- and the group of innocent civilians who are overwhelmed by his emotions. She instead shoots him in the leg, a non-immediately lethal injury which is nevertheless enough to break the psychic hold he has over them without killing anyone.

After another death, Olivia fears that she's somehow astral-projecting herself across the country and committing murders, but as the Fringe team investigates, they learn that her dreams are the results of the cortexiphan experiments: as preparation for the conflict described in the ZFT manifesto, Walter and William Bell experimented on several dozen children and the one that Olivia was buddied with, Nick Lane, has [[EmotionBomb the ability to project his emotions into other people]]. His depression and suicidal tendencies are causing people to kill themselves or other people, and because of the psychic link established between Olivia and Lane as children, she is seeing his murders in her dreams.

Olivia and Peter interview doctors at St. Jude's Mental Hospital, who tell them Lane was a voluntary resident, but left after being visited by a mysterious man. The doctor described him as hyperemotive, meaning those near him adopt his emotions. Olivia and Peter also learn that, as a child, Lane was treated with the nootropic drug Cortexiphan in drug trials, and believes himself to be a recruit in the upcoming war between the two universes.
