Fringe season 2 episode 13, titled "What Lies Below," is a mystery-filled adventure. The episode starts with a quarantine situation that arises in a commercial flight from Germany, causing the flight to redirect to Boston. The team, headed by FBI agent Olivia Dunham, investigates the situation to find a dangerous virus that seems to spread from person to person. The disease is so severe that it causes people to rot from the inside out.
The entire scenario presents an intense investigation where the team, initially faced with limited resources, tries to discover the product used to spread the virus. The urgency of the situation increases when the virus starts to spread quickly, leaving limited time to save the rest of the passengers on the flight. Consequently, the team splits up, with Walter Bishop and Peter Bishop going to investigate the source of the virus, while Olivia and Agent Charlie Francis work on finding a cure.
Throughout the episode, the team faces several challenges as they try to solve the puzzle. They discovered that the virus had been genetically engineered, but even more concerning is that the original strain of the virus has yet to be identified. The team realizes that the virus has no cure, and the only way to slow down its spread is to stop the spread of the airborne agent responsible.
The pace is intense, with every moment counting in an effort to identify and stop the virus's spread. As they find a laboratory that could be the source of the virus, they uncover a series of twisted events that lead them to realize that the virus's origin is more sinster than they initially thought. What was initially a scientific error now becomes a massive conspiracy.
Fringe season 2 episode 13 showcases an impressive display of detective work and teamwork as the characters work to halt the disease from spreading beyond the confines of the quarantined area. While the team desperately works to save innocent lives, the consequences of their actions will resonate in the coming episodes.
Overall, this episode is an action-packed, suspenseful, and thought-provoking adventure that leaves the viewer on the edge of their seat. It sets a high standard for the rest of the series as the writers expertly weave together both science fiction and real-world events. The intriguing plot and impressive acting combine to create a thrilling, must-see episode of Fringe.
