S2E01 - A New Day in the Old Town

Olivia needed to use her mental powers to stop The Machine in 'The Last Sam Weiss' and she used the quantum-entangled typewriter from 'A New Day in the Old Town' to practice with.
Olivia's test message for the typewriter in 'The Last Sam Weiss' was "Be a better man than your father," the English translation of the Greek phrase "Na einai kalytero anthropo apo ton patera tou" that she said in 'A New Day in the Old Town'.

S3E08 - Entrada

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.

S3E10 - The Firefly

DECEMBER in 'The Firefly': "But you were right. He's changed. He was willing to let his son die."
SEPTEMBER: "Yes. And now we know when the time comes He will be willing to do it again."
Walter accepted Peter's destiny in 'The Last Sam Weiss' and watched as Peter stepped into The Machine and activated it.

When Peter left the hospital in 'The Last Sam Weiss' he wrote "I am going home" on an envelope, the same phrase he wrote for Elizabeth in 'Subject 13' when he tried to return to his home world.
The quantum-entangled typewriter, which Olivia tried to activate with her powers in 'The Last Sam Weiss', finally started typing once Olivia saw Peter again; the combination of fear and love activated her abilities, as discovered in 'Subject 13'.

S3E22 - The Day We Died

WALTER in 'The Last Sam Weiss': "I have known you for a long time, Olivia, and I believe that the drawing was no accident. Whoever did it knew the same as I do: that you don't fail."
In 'The Day We Died' Peter revealed that the person responsible for the drawings and The Machine was Walter himself.

S4E13 - A Better Human Being

OLIVIA in 'A Better Human Being': "Peter, I remember William Bell. I remember crossing over to bring you back. I remember Jacksonville and seeing you shimmer the first time we kissed. I remember you walking to The Machine and getting inside and being scared that you were going to die."
As Olivia continued to regain her memories in 'A Better Human Being' she mentioned remembering the events of 'The Last Sam Weiss'.
