We are truly nearing the end, cortexifans – so much so that you could make the argument that, even though this isn’t the penultimate episode of our podcast, we are covering the penultimate episode of the series given the fact that 5.12 and 5.13 aired together the same night as a two-hour finale. We talk about this incredibly important episode and all of the answers that it finally gives us alongside Fringe Connections creator Michael London.

While Chris sadly couldn’t make it to this episode, Darrell is joined by special guest Adam to discuss this emotionally heavy episode of Fringe as it winds down to its climax. With only three episodes remaining, Captain Windmark narrows in on the team after discovering that Michael is part of their plan to defeat the Observers, and the result is nothing short of, well… mindblowing.

Since the final season couldn’t offer us a nineteenth episode due to being a 13-episode order, we get our whacky, out-of-the-box episode in the form of episode 9. After dropping acid that is the titular Black Blotter, Walter goes on a trippy journey into his past and revisits some old demons, including one in the form of his former lab assistant Carla Warren who expired in a fire (see what we did there?).

Join us in welcoming Isla to the show for the first time covering this incredibly emotional gutpunch of an episode of Fringe!

We are joined by Cory for this episode as we unpack yet another phenomenal, game-changing episode of Fringe! We talk about how much we love how emotionally poignant this aftermath of an episode is and how it is a great character study not only of the classic Fringe theme of what lengths someone will go to for love but also how people can experience the same tragedy but then react and grieve differently.

Join us this week as we, along with special guest Danielle (DillyDilly), discuss “In Absentia” – an episode that shows us somewhat of a dark turn for Etta as she captures and tortures a Loyalist. We see Olivia’s empathy and compassion shine through brighter than ever, and this is also the episode that kickstarts this season’s treasure (scavenger?) hunt.
