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.

Episode Quotes
 
Walter: I thought you might have teleported to New York in your sleep and killed her. Wouldn't that have been wondrous?
 
Walter: Astral...
Astrid: Astrid.
Walter: ...projection. Spirit walk!
 
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?
Walter: Oh, hardly. It's a social construct imposed by an awareness of our own mortality.
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.
Walter: Actually, it should more logically mean going above water.
Peter: And still no.
Walter: I certainly hope we find him. (to Peter) Who we looking for?
 
Peter: You know, until this year I'd never actually been to a mental hospital.
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.
