As the red balloon drifts free, another train approaches the station… and Olivia appears behind Risa and shoves her in front of the train...Read the full recap
Episode Notes
The glyph/code spells out BELLY (Walter's nickname for former partner William Bell).
The previous episode's clue to this episode was a "Red Balloon Lager" label on a beer keg outside of Carl's house. A red balloon provides Olivia with confirmation that she witnessed the murder in her dream.

Astrid: Astrid.

Peter: She had a bad dream.
Olivia: No, I could smell the platform. I saw her baby staring at me. I saw her face before I saw the news. How is that possible?
Walter: Opium?

Walter: What is mankind's oldest dream?
Astrid: World peace?

Astrid: Should have gone with "great taste, less filling."

Walter: That's a curious word. So it's got nothing to do with going underwater?
Astrid: No. "unsub" stands for unidentified subject.

Astrid: No. "unsub" stands for unidentified subject.
Walter: Actually, it should more logically mean going above water.

Olivia: Learn to like new things.
Olivia: Learn to like new things.
Walter: Where's the fire? I always loved that expression, which is curious, since my lab assistant was killed in a fire.
Walter: I've always wanted a two-headed goat. Where can I get a subscription?
Peter: Why do I get the feeling you're not telling us everything?
Walter: Because I don't know everything.
Walter: Because I don't know everything.
