Wallflower
A man mysteriously dies by an invisible force. The Fringe Team traces it to an old experiment conducted by Massive Dynamic on a newborn baby who was born with an incurable genetic disease which allowed him to become invisible. Meanwhile, Olivia is suffering from crippling headaches, secretly revealed to be the work of Nina Sharp, who is dosing her nightly with Cortexiphan.
Tropes present in this episode include:
- Chameleon Camouflage: Eugene Bryant has this ability, since he's been genetically modified to shift his pigment around like an octopus.
- Escaped from the Lab: Eugene, a mutant child who has been made invisible, has escaped from the lab where he was created. He is mistakenly presumed dead. He lives by himself and kills people to extract pigment from their bodies so that he can become visible again.
