Item of interest
The crane that crashed during the intro has a Massive Dynamic logo on it.
Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen hanging from the taxi when Walter listens to music.
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)".

William Bell's name is partially faded/scratched off of the door to the lab.
Frog glyph
The frog glyph can be seen on a door in the pocket universe.
Connection
Bell was unwell and needed oxygen in Olivia's memories in "Momentum Deferred" which could be because he had lymphoma as Nina revealed in the alternate timeline in "Brave New World (Part 1)".

A seahorse can be seen on the Bishops' refrigerator.

Butterfly glyph
The butterfly glyph can be seen as Olivia and Shapeshifter Charlie fight in the alley.

Connection
Windmark probed Walter's mind so forcefully in "Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11" that it caused blood vessels in Walter's eye to pop. In "Liberty" Michael resisted Windmark's mind probe, and possibly probed Windmark's mind back, causing blood vessels to pop in Windmark's eye.
