9-10 PM FOX
A small Vermont town turns into a place Olivia, Peter, and Walter cannot leave, in a tale complete with knowing references to Brigadoon and The Wizard of Oz. The citizens of Westfield are replicating inside themselves (growing two rows of teeth, multiple eyes — ick). It's a classic Fringe setup: a bizarre case ("an entire town turned schizophrenic," as Olivia says) that steadily connects with the series' overarching mythology.

And the ending is a deliriously romantic, startling one. All this, plus Walter's latest, almost yummy invention: "breakfast cocktails"!
