Recap

In Boston, Massachusetts, Natalie Rancik calls her husband on her cellphone. She thinks he's on the way to the airport on a business trip but he's actually at home preparing a surprise get-together for their anniversary. She says she'll be home in five minutes and hangs up. Randy hears the television turn on by itself and goes to check it out. He turns it off, unaware that a shadowy figure is following him. A light goes on by itself and he turns on the light, only to find himself confronting the shadowy figure... which has nothing to cast it. A few minutes later, Natalie arrives and sees Randy sitting on the couch. She touches him... and he breaks apart into ash...

Episode Quotes
Olivia: Walter, do you have any thoughts?
Walter: Reminds me of Christmas. Like a fire log that burns so hot it remains intact., holding the shape of its former self. You used to love that when you were a child. You'd poke the log with your little finger when it had cooled, and you'd draw genitalia on the reindeer decorations.
Peter: Happy memories, Walter.

Astrid: So this thing followed him from the hospital? I'm not going to sleep for weeks.

Peter: Are you suggesting that this was some sort of Russian experiment?
Walter: Because they're from the other side of the world, Peter, is it so hard to believe they have their own stripe of the inconceivable? Really I'm always amazed at their advancements even 40 years ago. You wouldn't believe what those pinkos were up to.

Broyles: I took the job to make the world a safer place for my family. Instead, I lost them.
