Peter shares a synaptic interface with the Observer and learns what he is ultimately destined to do.

Synopsis

Prologue

  Following Olivia's abduction, Peter is confident he can find something in her apartment that will lead to the responsible party. Agent Lee tags along but isn't terrbily concerned about finding a clue in his partner's home. Lee is more concerned with Nina's role in the matter and the influence Peter has seemingly porjected onto Olivia's personality. Has Peter been selfishly robbing Olivia of her own identity? Peter's diligent search locates a security breach in one of the ceiling-mounted smoke alarms -- a wireless, closed circuit camera. The camera has a back-up memory disk that may provide degraded imaging from the past few days. Lee plans to interrogate Nina while Peter gets the covert camera data back to Walter's lab for analysis.
 In the abandoned Plainfield Memorial Hospital, Olivia and Nina Sharp discuss the events that led to their abduction and subsequent imprisonment in a dilapidated isolation cell. Sharp claims she was kidnapped in the middle of the night, and that one of the intruders looked exactly like her. Olivia deduces that means a duplicate Nina must have visited her in her apartment when she was ill and is now posing as the authentic Nina Sharp at Massive Dynamic. Sharp claims the entire time she has been held he has never mentioned what he is after.... On cue, master criminal David Jones makes his grand entrance into the makeshift cell and greets Olivia - someone he has waited to meet for a very long time. With memories for Peter's previous timeline, Olivia has Jones at a disadvantage - she knows who and what he is. She even watched him die once. Jones senses a trend - she is not the only one recently who has said this to him. Regardless, Jones gets to his business. The migraines Olivia has been suffering from - yeah..?. that would be him. The Cortexiphan he has been giving her will do that. Jones needs Olivia to activate her latent abilities from childhood, and knows how from the notes Walter took during the testing in Jacksonville -- Intense Emotion. To get the ball rolling, how about a little torture? Jones gets-out his trusty electric drill with a tapered bit. Torturing Olivia won't help, but drilling into Nina Sharp's robo-arm may encourage Olivia to let loose with the super-human skills. A few seconds of screaming agony and Olivia yields. She will cooperate with Jones.
