Bound

Olivia is abducted and manages to escape her captors, hiding some vials in some dirt at a construction site. When her abduction site is searched nothing is found. The one thing she noticed when she was being held and injected with stuff, is the shoes of the perpetrator, who is wearing a Halloween mask. It turns out that those shoes become very important because she recognizes the person later. She has been betrayed again from within. This is a pretty intense, even a bit more realistic episode, although they do go a bit for the grotesque when a substance is put in a glass of water, growing into a disgusting creature who causes death and then escapes through the mouth.

Olivia awakes tied-up to a stretcher and a masked man injects something in her spine; however she glances at his shoes. When most of the abductors leave the place, Olivia lures the men that have stayed and succeeds to escape, taking samples of their research with her. However she is arrested by the men of her Sanford Harris that holds a grudge against her and is investigating the Fringe Division. Meanwhile the immunologist Professor Miles Kinberg expels a slug through his mouth during a lecture and Dr. Bishop researches and learns that the parasite is the same he found in the samples that Olivia took from her abductors. Olivia brings another famous immunologist, Dr. Simon, to the FBI office for protection; however Mitchell Loeb brings water with the parasite and kills him. But soon Olivia recognizes his shoes and finds that he is the double agent. Now she plots a scheme to find evidences against Loeb. Will Olivia succeed in her intent?

"Bound" is maybe the most engaging and full of action episode of "Fringe". Olivia Dunham shows her skills in the most different situations, inclusive with her sister and nephew and this is indeed her episode. The conclusion, with the confession of the mole Mitchell Loeb is intriguing. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Bound"

This show is absolutely terrible, and I watch it when I want to see something that requires only 2 brain cells. However, even those two cells know that a virus is not a cell, a mistake the show makes over and over in this episode, one which is even more egregious than a "scientist" calling hypotheses "theories."
