Walter and Peter discover that the toxin is a mixture of hydrogen cyanide and chromium trioxide, along with a part which can be changed in order to select victims based on traits. Peter finds cinnamon-scented candles that are out of place at the wedding, and they determine that that is the method which Hoffman used to deliver the toxin – airborne, and released by heat. This woman’s daughter in law was able to identify Hoffman on a wedding video, giving Fringe Division a face for their suspect.Īfter getting the bodies back to the lab, Walter makes the rather startling discovery that the victims’ blood has turned blue, likely from something binding to the hemoglobin. Right before the wedding she had noticed a man (named Alfred Hoffman, played by Craig Robert Young) whom she appeared to recognize – and was horrified at doing so. It turns out that the 15 people who died were all direct descendants of one woman who was herself a Holocaust survivor. Fringe Division is called in due to the fact that numerous people suffocating to death all at once in a room full of air is not exactly a usual occurrence. The episode starts off with the deaths of 15 guests at a wedding. Of course, after having seen the episode I find this humourously ironic. We ended up in a rather involved discussion about some of the biochemistry I’d been studying, and the intricacies of the protein hemoglobin, which is probably my favourite protein (and yes, I’m aware it’s a bit odd to actually have a favourite). Staller in this episode (one of the wedding guests who dies at the beginning). This day I spent quite a while chatting with one of the guest actors on this episode: a man by the name of Leonard Tenisci who played Mr. As you may or may not know, Fringe is one of the many shows which films up in Vancouver and several times this season they have been near my school – the filming of this episode was one such occasion.Įach time I get the opportunity to chat with anyone working on the production, they are incredibly friendly and more than willing to chat about the ins and outs of production on a major television show. I was really looking forward to this episode (more so than usual) because I watched them film a bit of it.
