After a couple of weeks off and then a missed episode, I'm back on point with the Fringe episode reviews, and this episode brings us back with a non-mythology episode.

Everything about this episode was pretty much standard fair - disgruntled child, mind control, lead character being forced to shoot another character. In fact, I'm pretty sure I saw most of the elements of this episode in a few different episodes of the X-Files - nothing really original or Earth-shattering.

The importance of this episode lies in the parallels between the young boy's plight and that of Peter. The young boy (Tyler) was led to believe that his mother was dead, but in fact, she was alive and living well in Maryland. Tyler was distraught that his very own father would lie about something like that. With Peter, we all know that after this universe's Walter lost his son, he stole Peter from the Walter of an alternate universe.

Other than that interesting parallel, the rest of the episode was run-of-the-mill, with a slight twist at the end, as we find out that Tyler's mind control was deliberately created by Massive Dynamic. In fact, there are several Tylers all across the country put into different homes by Massive Dynamic and the experiments of William Bell.

Next week could be make-or-break for this season of Fringe, as we're promised a lot of knowledge about the Observers.
