Olivia begins seeing visions while awake that aren’t really there. She uses these visions to help solve the case of a woman who spontaneously combusted. Meanwhile, Walter tries to prove that Bell isn’t involved with the ZFT, while sightings of the Observer increase.
A woman runs for the bus as Broyles continues his briefing, saying they recently learned William Bell may be behind the attacks. As the woman catches the bus toward the hospital, he tells the agents their goal now is to find evidence linking Bell and ZFT.
The woman has trouble breathing. She rings the bell to get off immediately. She stumbles around grasping her throat. She can’t breathe. And then she bursts into flames.
Walter (John Noble) reads the ZFT manifesto -possibly his manifesto – and Peter (Joshua Jackson) asks what’s up. Walter wants to show Peter something. He types the word “prophecy” on his busted typewriter and shows Peter about the offset key matching the manuscript. He says Bell wouldn’t do these horrendous things. There are references throughout the manifesto about a chapter on ethics, but it has been removed. Walter thinks an original could still be in the lab. They get a call.
They check out the street flambe woman. Olivia (Anna Torv) says she’ll call the coroner to transport the bodies. There’s only one. Her vision shifts. She’s seeing double but it goes away.
Nina Sharp (Blair Brown) of Massive Dynamic visits Broyles. She doesn’t have her happy face on. She knows about the investigation. Broyles tells her they’re investigating him for connection to biological attacks. Sharp says Bell isn’t a terrorist. But he’s unavailable to say so himself.
