Fringe: Season 2; Episode 14: “The Bishop Revival”

The episode begins with a wedding that ends in tragedy as half of the wedding party and guests are suddenly killed by suffocating from the inside out.  Our heroes are called to the scene and are baffled themselves with the unusual circumstances, until Peter discovers a cinnamon smelling candle that may be the cause of the deaths.  While still searching for answers, more deaths occur at a local coffee shop, this time the cinnamon smelling source being a cup of hot tea.

The constant in both of these occurrences was the creepy villain, a mad scientist Nazi.  The Nazi connection may have been strange in any other show, but the geniuses at Fringe made it work.  As the team soon comes to find out, the weaponized toxin that caused the deaths was the finished product of one of Walter’s father’s research projects.  Robert Bishop served as a scientist for the Nazis while also serving as a spy for the Allies.  This connection really hit home for Walter, and he worked with a special fervor to solve this case.

In the end, Walter is the one that twists the toxin to kill the Nazi villain.  It was an unnecessary death, seeing as Peter had saved the day by finding the source of the toxin at the World Tolerance Conference.  This act showed a different side of Walter, one that was willing to go to any lengths to protect his family and their reputation.

This was again, a very good episode.  We got classic Walter moments that every Fringe fan loves, while also giving us a further look into the Bishop family and their relationship.

“The Bishop Revival” was a great episode to lead into next week’s winter finale.  It’s definitely a great time to be a Fringe fan!  Hopefully answers about the alternate reality lie ahead as well. I don’t know about you all, but I can’t wait. You might say I’m sitting on the “fringe” of my seat!!

Desperate Housewives

Season 6; Episode 14

“The Glamorous Life”

(Originally Aired: 1/31/10)

Lynette doesn’t like that Dr. Graham always sides with Tom. Tom convinces her to attend a play the doctor is in. She’s terrible, which Lynette tells her, but Tom lies and says she was “Great.” Tom admits he likes to be the good cop, forcing Lynette to always be the bad cop. Tom finally admits he hated the play too, and the therapist orders them both out.

Bree is puzzled by Orson’s new found happiness, until she finds his suicide letter! She vows to watch him 24 hours a day.

Angie and Gaby clash over Ana and Danny. Angie convinces Gaby that it’s time for a safe sex talk, but when Carlos sees Gaby’s bought condoms for Ana, he threatens to kill Danny. He tells her that if Ana gets pregnant, she’ll be the one taking care of the baby.

Gaby writes Ana an unsigned check, which she’ll sign if Ana graduates high school without having had sex. But as Ana sees it, her promise not to have sex doesn’t include Danny. Carlos catches Danny with Ana and threatens to kill him. Angie barges in and shouts, “You ever touch him again, you’re dead.” Carlos and Gaby come over the next night to apologize and overhear Nick telling Angie that soon the truth about them will come out. I think Gaby will be keeping a closer eye on the Bolens from here on out.

As Susan is signing her self out of ownership of Double D’s she meets stripper Robin, who she tells that it’s never too late to change your life, so she quits! And shows up at her house the next day. Now Susan feels responsible for her, so she hires Robin as her assistant at school. One of the students’ fathers, who just so happens to be one of the schools’ biggest financial supporters, recognizes her and she’s fired on the spot. Susan talks Mike into letting Robin move in until she finds a job.

Orson dares Bree to say she loves him and she can’t do it. She forces him to attend an anniversary celebration for an elderly couple and leaves him by the pool. She sees him about to wheel himself in and she runs to stop him. He asks what he’s got to live for her, if she doesn’t love him anymore, and she says, “I loved you once. I can’t recapture that if you’re not here.”
