Enemy of My Enemy

The alternate Fringe Division tracks the shapeshifters to David Robert Jones, alive in this timeline. After capturing him, he initiates several terrorist attacks until he is released. Once released, he disappears only to appear in the prime universe to steal a rare mineral, 'Amphilicite', only to cross back to the parallel universe and disappear. In the wake of Jones' escape, the two universes agree to work together to defeat Jones and his shapeshifter army.

Tropes

  • Call-Back: When Peter tells Jones about how in his timeline he killed Jones via Portal Cut.
    • Walter tells Alt!Elizabeth that he asked for a sign from God that he could be forgiven for crossing over and abducting Alt!Peter. In the original timeline he received that sign via an anonymous letter from Allistair Peck, but Walter's continued guilt in this episode suggests that this version never got that letter.
  • Portal Cut: Barely averted by Olivia, who tries to chase Jones into a closing gateway between the universes. The front end of her car is severed when the portal closes.
  • Shout-Out: To The Long Goodbye. Jones kills someone (a shapeshifter) he professes to love as a demonstration of how ruthless he will be to his enemies.
