Fringe S4E07 'Wallflower'

IMDb sez: "A manhunt begins for an invisible killer who steals human 
pigmentation."
Fox Publicity is a little more forthcoming: "When a man mysteriously 
dies by an invisible force, his body rapidly begins turning ghostly 
white. The Fringe team learns that this is not an isolated incident, and 
there's evidence that links the predator to someone who passed away with 
an unknown genetic disorder. Meanwhile, Olivia suffers from migraines."

The glyphs for this episode spell out: DAVID

Walter refers to the killing of albinos in east Africa and the using of 
body parts in rituals. This is not imaginary. To the present day an 
occasional news report from the region refers to the murder of an albino 
for such reasons.

When Walter shows Olivia and Lincoln the octopus, he references the 
Beatles song: Octopus's Garden.

Walter is using the same mouse maze that Faraday used in Lost. Both 
shows were created by J.J. Abrams.

Dr. Bishop uses 'octopi' as a plural for octopus. Octopi is a plural 
using Latin pluralization. Octopus is Greek in origin, the plural being 
octopodes. English has its own pluralization rules, therefore, octopuses 
is the correct form in the English language.

FBI Agent Tim: You're not my prisoner.
Peter Bishop: So, what, then? You're my bodyguard?
FBI Agent Tim: Maybe just imagine I'm a... friend.
Peter Bishop: Yeah, 'cause every 32-year-old man needs a friend to 
chaperone him while he's underwear shopping.
