Recap

Lighthouse Master Murray Hawkins is working at his station at Stockton Harbor, Maine. He logs onto a chat room and talks with the other members, and they tune to 6995 kHz on their short-wave radios. A music box tune starts playing. Other members include Shen Chan in Chinatown, New York, who ignores his friend Dan to work on what he claims is a major code. In Merrimack County, New Hampshire, Becky Woomer asks her husband Laird to take care of their baby son, Aaron, and then chairs the chat room with Murray, Shen, and 12 other members. A voice on the radio starts reciting numbers in Dutch, and all of the chat room members suddenly wince in pain. After a moment, they recover... with no memory of who they are or what they were doing...

Episode Notes
The glyph/code spells out DECAY.

The first radio transmission is a series of numbers pronounced in Dutch, the second transmission is in Russian.



Episode Quotes
Walter: The human brain is a miracle--a most resilient organ... a storage unit for everything you have known, seen or felt. It's all still in there, whether or not you're conscious of that.

Walter: Nina! If I had known you were coming, I'd have baked a cake.
Astrid: He means that. Literally.

Walter: Creation and destruction. I suppose we'll have to hope for the former.

Bolivia: If you knew that only one of our worlds could survive, and if it was up to you, and you alone, to defend your side, you'd have no choice, right? I mean, you would have to do what you had to do no matter the cost to protect our world.
Peter: There are billions of innocent people over there, just like here. People with jobs, families, lives. I got to believe there's another way. And whatever my part in all of this is I got to believe there's another way. There's always hope, right?



Episode References
The Observer can be seen in front of the apartment after Peter shows the destroyed data disk to Bolivia and Broyles. He is in the background between the two of them.

The name of the author of the First People book is Seamus Wiles, an anagram of Samuel Weiss, Olivia's teacher.
