In Fringe season 2 episode 15, titled "Jacksonville," the Fringe team is tasked with investigating a series of child abductions in Jacksonville, Florida. They soon discover that the abductions are connected to a group of Cortexiphan test subjects, including Olivia Dunham.
As a child, Olivia participated in a trial study of a drug called Cortexiphan, which gave her and a group of other children special abilities, including telekinesis and pyrokinesis. However, the study was shut down after a tragic incident occurred, leaving Olivia traumatized and the other children scattered across the country.
Now, the team must track down the other Cortexiphan test subjects and work with them to stop the kidnappers. This reunion brings up painful memories for Olivia, but also allows her to explore the full extent of her abilities and investigate the true intentions of the experiment.
Meanwhile, Peter and Walter deal with their own personal demons. Peter grapples with the news that he may have a son, while Walter struggles to come to terms with his role in creating the Cortexiphan trials and the harm it caused to the children involved.
As the investigation intensifies, the team discovers a larger conspiracy at play, leading to a thrilling and emotional finale that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats. "Jacksonville" is a standout episode of Fringe, delving deeper into the complex characters and themes of the show while providing plenty of action and suspense.
