I’m eschewing a traditional recap of the show because I’m at a bit of a cross-roads. Every show has natural ups and downs and not every episode can be a classic. And then there are shows like Once Upon A Time, which seem to be deliberately abusing not only their great premise, but also the audience’s goodwill.

As predicted last week, Fringe revisits the monster-of-the-week format in its latest episode, but still manages to convey some clues to the season’s endgame even if the plot served more as a standalone.

One day at precisely 3:18pm, Jake (David Mazouz), an eleven year-old boy who has never spoken (except in pretentious voice overs), trips the security alarm climbing a cell tower. Why is he up there?

Bo (Anna Silk) and Dyson (Kris Holden-Reid) strike up the sexytime to help deal with her hunger “problem”. Oh wait…that was only the end of the episode? Sorry, I got distracted by MORE NUDITY. Plus we hit the bar and meet Trick (Richard Howland)!

This week our family fairytale show turns its attention back to Mary Margaret (Ginnifer Goodwin) and David Nolan (Josh Dallas), aka Snow and Charming. After last week’s lackluster outing focusing on Emma (Jennifer Morrison), I was simply happy to shift the focus onto someone else. Plus: metaphors, metaphors everywhere!

This week’s episode of Fringe wasted no time, taking off right where we left off from last week where we were teased with the reappearance of David Robert Jones (Jared Harris). Will we find out what he’s doing back and how he managed to survive being sliced in half as a portal between two alternate dimensions closed on him?
Let’s check it out after the jump.
