The Fringe team grieve over Etta's death. Meanwhile, the Observers receive a shipment from the future through a wormhole. The Resistance plans to destroy the next shipment; they have also captured an Observer. Peter interrogates him, trying to find out how to assemble a cube-shaped power source used by the Observers to initiate the shipments.

He inserts the implant into his own neck to gain the same capabilities that the Observers have.
