Unearthed

After a teenage girl is pronounced brain dead, her mother takes her off life support, but when doctors operate quickly to remove her organs, the deceased girl shockingly awakens screaming an alphanumeric code. Equally as perplexing as her resurrection is that she is now somehow able to speak Russian and possesses classified information only a high-ranking soldier would know. While the girl's mind-bending condition intensifies, Walter dusts off some old lab videos and hypothesizes the unthinkable, sending Olivia and Peter to investigate the bewildering case.

Episode Discussion

On all my rewatches, I keep trying to find the perfect place to put this in season 1 so it doesn't feel out of place like it usually does.

I tried end of season 1, which is where the production numbers say it should go; that was a terrible idea. I tried late season 1 between episodes 17 and 18 (a suggestion I found on a reddit thread); that still felt way too late. On my latest try, I put it between episodes 13 and 14; this still feels too late for some reason. The episode doesn't reference any of the stuff that Fringe has been trying hard to get off the ground in the latter half of season 1, like Massive Dynamics, Olivia seeing John, her sister, Peter's murky past, etc.

In really trying to pay attention to the flow of season 1, I think this is really a very, very early season 1 episode before any of that starts to take off. I've decided to stick it between episodes 5 and 6 for my next watch and I think it'll go good there with the early simple monster-of-the-week episodes without any attachment to the larger plotline, which the very first few episodes don't really have.

If anyone watches it there for their next rewatch, let me know. I'm curious how it feels to someone else.

Strange to see Charlie Francis alive in this episode because he was killed in season 1 and the shapeshifter who took his appearance died also in season one.

2023 re-binging.  SUGGEST just skip this entirely or watch it several episodes BEFORE s 1 finale.  You won't miss anything, and you won't be wondering...wtf... mid season 2.

Warning : This episodes was plot as Season 1, episode 21. It was finally broadcast for a special night during season 2; but the story line doesn't fit into season 2.
