Things you might’ve missed
Connection
Olivia had a horse-riding ribbon in Nina's old photograph in "Novation". Nina rode horses herself in "The Cure" so it stands to reason that Olivia would have done so as well in the timeline where she was raised by Nina.
S4E05 - Novation Timestamp: 34:33
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.
Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen on Peter's luggage.
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.
S4E22 - Brave New World (Part 2) Timestamp: 22:17
Item of interest
Jones said there are 10 tests for Olivia in total. The first was a box of lights that Olivia had to turn off with her mind.
Hand glyph
A hand can be seen on the wall when Olivia and Peter attack the Observers and Loyalists.
Connection
Peter found Olivia in a field of white tulips in "Subject 13", a nod to "White Tulip".
S3E15 - Subject 13 Timestamp: 33:00
Item of interest
The episode opened in "Manhatan", seemingly a typo but actually signifying this was an alternate Manhattan.
Leaf glyph
The leaf glyph is on the electronic keypad at Massive Dynamic.
Connection
An ambering device, first (nearly) used by the Blueverse Fringe team in "6B", was seen in Walter's storage vault in "The Bullet that Saved the World".
S5E04 - The Bullet that Saved the World Timestamp: 30:05
Item of interest
The yellow dot in the final glyph of the episode is replaced by a yellow heart.
Leaf glyph
The leaf glyph can be seen as Olivia and Shapeshifter Charlie fight in the alley.
Connection
Broyles was hanging out at a jazz bar in "Midnight". His character in "Brown Betty" performs in one.
S2E19 - Brown Betty Timestamp: 10:19
Item of interest
All of the people in Olivia's mind wear blacks and greys because Cortexiphan subjects have a strong desire to blend in.
Butterfly glyph
The butterfly glyph can be seen near Lincoln in the rail yard.
Connection
Jones got 'electrocuted in half' after fighting Peter in "Brave New World (Part 1)" similar to how he got sliced in half in "There's More Than One of Everything".
S4E21 - Brave New World (Part 1) Timestamp: 38:53
Item of interest
Sam Weiss died 10-15 years earlier in a shootout with Observers trying to protect the radio signal relay used to locate Michael.
Flower glyph
The flower glyph can be seen on the wall in Karen Truss's house.
Connection
The End-of-Dayers targeted the Orpheum Theater in "The Day We Died", a soft spot from when Olivia and the other Cortexiphan subjects crossed over to get Peter in "Over There (Part 1)".
S3E22 - The Day We Died Timestamp: 04:49
Item of interest
Olivia entered "Martin Luther King/Eldridge Cleaver Memorial Park" which has a plaque quoting them as saying "We have a dream" rather than "I".
