Frog glyph
The frog glyph can be seen on a door in the pocket universe.

Hand glyph
The hand glyph can be seen on the piano stool in the Orpheum Theater in the Redverse.

Connection
Walter looked at Peter's coin in "Novation" from the night Peter died in "Peter".
Item of interest
The Fringe team is the First People. Walter sent the parts of the machine back through time via the wormhole in Central Park. That's why the First People had such a knowledge of Peter and Olivia.

Connection
The intense amount of Cortexiphan coursing through Olivia in "Brave New World (Part 2)" was able to heal her mortal wound. This was foreshadowed in "Brown Betty" when Olivia was sliced by the same weapon that killed Rachel, yet instead of dying Olivia's skin started to heal itself.
