9/10
The Children from Jacksonville
11 January 2017
In New York, a young woman in panic takes a bus to a hospital, but she cannot support the heat and leaves it. On the sidewalk, she has spontaneous combustion and blows up. The Fringe Division is assigned to investigate the case. Olivia sees two burned women instead of one and has weird visions, and Dr. Bishop explains that she might be seeing a parallel universe. Soon they find that the woman was a subject of a ZFT experiment and Olivia discovers through her abilities that she has a twin sister. When the Fringe Division tracks her down, the team discovers that she was abducted. Peter uses an invention of his own and they discover that the abductor called Harris by phone. Now the FBI is chasing Harris, who is the responsible for the crimes. Will the Fringe Division arrive on time to save the woman?

So far, "The Road Not Taken" is one of the best (if not the best) episodes of Fringe. The discovery of other children from Jacksonville that have abilities as the result of the experiment they were submitted with the substance "Cortexiphan" is promising. The mystery behind the Observer increases and what would be the connection with Dr. Bishop? Last but no the least, the end of the annoying Harris is a plus in this great series. My vote is nine.
