FBI briefing room
Talkin' 'bout impending doom
Broyles explains ZFT
To those who sort of need it
"Olivia and Charlie
They'll assign you to your teams
Here's the manifesto
Of ZFT, read it!"

New York: Susan Pratt
Walks outside and hails a cab
But it passes by
So she has to take a bus
Window is steaming up
Crossword puzzle smolders up
Tells the driver "Stop the bus!"
She gets off and combusts

Susan Pratt started the fire
It wasn't God nor Jesus
It was pyrokinesis
Susan Pratt started the fire
Couldn't help but ignite it
Didn't know how to fight it

Walter shows Peter B.
The defective 'y' key
Claims lost ZFT chapter
Shows Bell is ethical
Then the Fringe Science Team
Arrives at the combustion scene
Something strange in your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
Nina Sharp says Massive D
And Bell are not the enemy
But says that Bell is currently
Traveling abroad
Harris forbids Broyles' team
To investigate Massive D
Despite all this
Broyles tells Olivia to press on

Susan Pratt started the fire
It wasn't God nor Jesus
It was pyrokinesis
Susan Pratt started the fire
Couldn't help but ignite it
Didn't know how to fight it

Apartment of Susan Pratt
Clothes are all gray and black
They find a 30,000-dollar check
From Isaac Winters
Walter spills Berry Boom
Olivia visits Winter's room
Hears the phone messages
Left by Susan Pratt to Winters

Whoa-hoa-hoa
Olivia's been experiencing
An alternate reality
Saw two configurations
Of Broyles' office setup
Photo showed 2 charred bodies
Then it showed just 1 body!
Boston skyline burning
Then not burning anymore!

Olivia thinks she's lost it
Walter says it's space-time pliability now
That caused extended deja vu
But just how did Olivia get this ability now?

Emmanuel Grayson
Claims that William Bell is one
That carried out experiments
To make super soldiers
Grayson thinks he's Spock, then
Salutes with the "Vulcan" hand
But it's for Liv that Harris
Orders psychiatric help
FBI briefing room
Olivia picks up the phone
Looks around the room
And sees that things are slightly different

Boston in a quarantine lockdown
But after seeing the photo of the 2 charred corpses
The office returns to normal
Olivia suspects Pratt has a twin, and indeed it's true

The twin is Nancy Lewis
Turns out she was kidnapped
Peter built a gift for Walter
Made from Walter's own equipment
To take a high-res image of
Nancy's steamed-up window
The window disk breaks but that's OK
Peter has the scan

He calibrates the audio
Then they hear Nancy screaming
And a nice jar breaking
Then they hear a phone dialing
Then Isaac Winters says
"I have her, see you there..."
He was talking to Harris
What else can I say?

Olivia and Charlie
Tailing Sanford Harris
They arrived at a warehouse
Harris and Winters have Nancy
Olivia saw her picture up on a wall,
a wall, a wall, a wall, a wall, a wall,
a wall, a wall, a wall...

All the people in the pictures
They were all subjects of cortexiphan, yeah
Olivia finds Nancy
And somehow Nancy Lewis
Sets Harris on fire

Olivia talks to Walter
Walter starts to cry, says he meant no harm
Olivia asks what they did to her
Walter bawls somemore
Says he doesn't remember

Peter comforts Walter
Then back at the lab, Walter listens to records
Walter finds the lost ZFT chapter
The Observer says that it's time to go now

Then someone shoots Nina
A dark figure did it at her condominium

[Fringified]

This is BY FAR the absolute best one yet!!!

I love your songs, MM
