EPISODE CONNECTIONS

S1E10 - Safe

  • Walter (in "Entrada"):
    "No. I remember why this is familiar. They're harmonic rods. Like Belly and I used to use to help objects cross between universes."

    The teleportation destination for David Robert Jones in "Safe" was anchored by harmonic rods, which are often used as tools used in crossing over as seen in "Entrada" when harmonic rods implanted in Fauxlivia help bring her back to her universe. (Image 1)

S2E01 - A New Day in the Old Town

  • Olivia said "Na einai kalytero anthropo apo ton patera tou" to Peter when she woke from the car crash in "A New Day in the Old Town". Peter said this phrase back to Fauxlivia in "Entrada", who did not recognize it, which confirmed to Peter that she was an impostor.

S2E18 - The Man from the Other Side

  • In "Entrada" Fauxlivia was brought back to the Redverse via harmonic transfer with small rods injected into her hands, similar to the harmonic transfer that brought the bridge over in "The Man from the Other Side". (Image 1, 2)

S2E19 - Brown Betty

  • Walter took Brown Betty in "Entrada", the same drug he took in "Brown Betty".
Divider

S3E01 - Olivia

  • Colonel Broyles (to Walternate in "Olivia"):
    "Shore patrol says there's no way she could have made it across, that the currents are impossible this time of year."
    Walternate:
    "What do you think?"
    Colonel Broyles:
    "I think from what I know of Olivia Dunham, she's the one person I would bet on who could survive."

    Both versions of Broyles hold their respective Olivias in similarly high regard.

    Broyles (to Peter in "Entrada"):
    "Peter, we'll get her. And we're going to bring Olivia home."
    Peter:
    "Glad you're feeling so confident."
    Broyles:
    "She was strong enough to get us a message. And if there were anyone I would bet on to survive over there, it would be her."

S3E13 - Immortality

  • In "Immortality" Secretary Bishop received the piece of the Machine stolen by Fauxlivia in "Entrada".
Divider

S3E15 - Subject 13

  • In "Subject 13" Walter and Elizabeth were gaslighting Peter into thinking he imagined all the changes in his parents, his home, and the world when he insisted things were different after his kidnapping. He eventually accepted that all of the differences he noticed were not real and were just in his head (Elizabeth's guilt over this is what led to her suicide). This explains why he noticed changes in Olivia (who was really Fauxlivia) but still assumed it was the Olivia he'd known for the past couple years until he found out the truth in "Entrada".

S3E19 - Lysergic Acid Diethylamide

  • Broyles (in "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide"):
    "I know it followed me."
    Astrid:
    "What followed you?"
    Broyles:
    "Death. I saw death. All of it. And it was me."

    Broyles saw dead Alt Broyles in "Entrada" and it had been haunting him.

  • Olivia saw Brandon as a zombie in her mind in "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide" because he wanted to cut out and study her brain in "Entrada". (Image 1, 2)

S3E21 - The Last Sam Weiss

  • Olivia had been told the phrase "Na einai kalytero anthropo apo ton patera tou" by William Bell. She used its English translation, "Be a better man than your father", as a test message in "The Last Sam Weiss" when she tried to control the quantum-entangled typewriter with her mind. Peter said this phrase to Fauxlivia in "Entrada", who did not recognize it, which confirmed to Peter that she was an impostor.
