A seventeen-year-old girl, Lisa Donovan, is declared brain dead at a hospital and is pulled off life support. While the doctors harvest her organs for donation, she suddenly comes back to life, yelling highly classified naval missile codes. The Fringe team arrives to investigate, along with a naval officer; he tells them the codes are tied to a missing sailor called Andrew Rusk. Lisa is unaware of the numbers or Rusk, but suddenly starts speaking Russian while Olivia, Peter, and Walter question her. The naval officer informs them that Rusk is fluent in the language.
Olivia asks Lisa's mother Maureen for permission to run more tests on the girl as a means to find Rusk, but Maureen refuses. Meanwhile, Lisa has a vision of Rusk standing behind her, which leads Maureen to conclude they should end the investigation, as it is causing Lisa to experience these strange occurrences. Walter posits that Lisa's aneurysm tied her to Rusk and gave them a psychic bond. Having continued to suffer visions, Lisa soon calls Olivia and leads her to Rusk's body. It is determined that at the same time Lisa was taken off life support, Rusk was murdered. Walter believes that part of Rusk's consciousness transferred over to Lisa. Walter clashes with the family's priest over her resurrection. Olivia learns that Rusk had recently experienced high levels of radiation; Walter suggest that, due to this heavy radiation exposure, Rusk's energy is not completely "expended".
Lisa is transferred to Walter's lab, where he gives her special drugs to extract Rusk's thoughts from her mind. Instead, Rusk gains full control of Lisa's body and demands to know where he is. His description of the murderer leads them another naval officer, who tells them Rusk's physically abused wife Teresa hired him for the killing. Believing that he has left her mind, they learn too late that Rusk is still in control of Lisa; he goes to exact revenge on Teresa, but is stopped by Peter before he can go through with the murder. Lisa is eventually able to purge Rusk from her consciousness. The final scene shows an unrelated car crash victim suddenly waking up, mumbling in Russian: "My Star", the pet name Rusk called his wife.

!Unearthed
!! Tropes found in this episode:
* ArtisticLicenseMedicine
** After the ventilator is stopped and Lisa is dead, the medical personnel are seen bagging her as they take her to the OR.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJK5n6RGC_s Removing a kidney]] is not that simple, as it is under the intestines and you want to take care as they are [[OhCrap full of shit]][[hottip:*:[[IncrediblyLamePun That one hurt]].
** Seizures occur in [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2744032/ up to 26%]] of individual who experience a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and it would be logical to assume this was the cause of Lisa's seizure, but the doctor dismisses this cause out of hand.
** Walter tells Astrid to give Lisa a benzodiazepine drip, but does not specify which benzodiazepine. The benzodiazepines are a large class of medications with over 20 drugs used in medicine. Given the dose of 100 mcg/hr, it may be midazolam. However it is usually dosed in mg instead of mcg or as Walter says "mikes". But I don't know of any benzodiazepine where "toes beginning to tingle is a sign that it is working.
** Like most television [=EEGs=], Lisa has only a few elctrodes along the hairline which are placed with adhesive stickers like an ECG, instead of the 20 plus electrodes attached with paste over the head in a [[http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/271033/enlarge real life EEG]].
** Astrid tells Walter they are at 6 Hz, but then is shown looking at a device labeled "blood pressure apparatus" and the units are mm Hg. I sure hope they weren't measuring blood pressure, but I am not really certain what they are supposed to be measuring with a device like that although it seems it is supposed to be related to the EEG.
** After Astrid updates Walter, that they are at 6 Hz, he tells her to go up by 2 "mikes", but if they are already at 100 mcg/hr is an increase to 102 mcg/hr going to make a lot of difference? Typically midazolam is titrated by 100-2000 mcg intervals.
** The EEG recording is shown being displayed digitally on the monitors, but then specific channels are being recorded on paper. This does not serve any purpose, but drama.
** A new EEG channel starts recording in RED when Ruski takes her over. EEG channels display the difference of voltage between two different electrodes, and can not determine a person's identity or change in personality.
* AnAstralProjectionNotAGhost: Walter claims to have read documented cases of coma patients doing this. I wonder what journal this was published in.
* ConvenientComa:
** Walter compares Lisa's state to those of the other patients in a coma, confounding brain death and coma. People in a coma are alive, but unresponsive. People who are brain dead are dead with no brain function, though a machine is breathing for them and the heart is beating.
** This is the second time someone in this series has woken up after the family was told there was irreversible brain damage. Fringe is doing a disservice to families having to make difficult decisions for a loved one [[http://www.neurology.org/content/66/9/1300.abstract as it has been shown that these misrepresentations influence decisions in real life]].
** The coma patients are [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4984042.stm unrealistically portrayed]], and appear to be sleeping peacefully without any contractures, feeding tubes, or trachs.
** Hospitals do not keep wards full of coma patients. If someone is no longer requiring acute care, they will be transferred to a skilled nursing facility.
* AlternateRealityEpisode: Or is it?
* ContinuitySnarl: Or are they meant to imply we are in an alternate reality?
** Charlie's appearance is disturbing to the audience, but explained by this being an episode from before he died or an episode from an alternative reality.
** Lisa Donovan's FBI file states her birth as November 19, 1982, but she claims to be 17.
** Andrew Rusk's Military Dossier states his birth as August 23 1981, but is said to have been married for 20 years and is a Chief Petty Officer First Class.
** The Pepsi billboard in the car crash suggests the year in 2009. The episode aired in 2010.
* ConvulsiveSeizures:
** Another unrealistic portrayal with closed eyes, asymmetric jerking, and a start stop quality to the movements.
** Seizures are again portrayed as a sign of possession, perpetuating the [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14636782 stereotypes that people with epilepsy]] have to deal with.
* DeathIsCheap: Lisa is brain dead, which equals [[DeaderThanDead Death]]. She then has a cardiac death, asystole after being removed from the ventilator, but wakes up with no problem.
* EagleEyeDetection: Peter did a good job finding the shell casing, but may have wanted to use gloves when picking it up so as not to tamper with fingerprint evidence.
* {{Flatline}}
* GratuitousRussian:
** Почему я не могу говорить? = Why can I not speak?
* HumanResources: Organ donation
* InstantSedation: The tranquilizer dart takes Lisa out in 2 seconds.
* MissingEpisode: The network press release announces this episode as "A Special Unearthed Episode from Season 1 Airing for the First Time", but then a few lines lower in the press release, the network questions it's own announcement by saying "And here’s another mystery: is it an unaired episode from Season 1, or is it from an Alternate Universe?".
* OutOfOrder: The production code for this episode, #3T7670, places it after the season 1 finale (#3T7669), but before the season 2 premiere (#3X5101).
* RussianNamingConvention: A term of endearment, моя Звёздочка = [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi9dGz-BIXE my little star]]
* TranquilizerDart: It was pretty lucky Charlie just happened to have a tranquilizer gun.
* WorstAid: Never hold someone down who is having a seizure as Peter did. This is a good way to dislocate a shoulder. Everyone should know [[http://www.cdc.gov/epilepsy/basics/first_aid.htm how to take care of someone having a seizure]] as 1 in 26 Americans have epilepsy, and seizure first aid is often portrayed incorrectly on television.
