The Note:
Walter is still using the typewriter with the misaligned ‘y’.
I would like to talk a bit about the video that Walter was watching at the end of the episode. Here is the dialogue from the video:
WILLIAM BELL: Is the incident contained?
FEMALE VOICE: Yes, Doctor Bell.
WILLIAM BELL: How bad?
FEMALE VOICE: Bad.
WILLIAM BELL: Casualties?
FEMALE VOICE: Not sure yet. We can’t locate Brenner.
WILLIAM BELL: Is she okay?
FEMALE VOICE: She is fine.
WILLIAM BELL: Hell, do we know what triggered it?
WALTER: Obviously she was upset, William. (to the child) It’s okay. It’s alright now. Nobody is angry with you. You didn’t do anything bad. It’s alright Olive… everything’s going to be okay.

The Note:
Walter is still using the typewriter with the misaligned ‘y’. It also might be interesting to note that this is the first time that the title of the episode is used, rather than a project and exploration number.
I might really be grasping at straws this time, but here goes. During one of the scenes at the hospital, you can see food on a tray. At first I thought it was toast and pickles, but who serves pickles with toast? It seemed more likely to me that it was a grilled cheese sandwich and pickles.
lab notes
Why is that important, you ask? Well, in the lab notes for Episode 102 “Same Old Story” there is a grilled cheese sandwich and a pickle…
Grilled Cheese and Pickles
pickle
The interesting part is that the Mini-Observer has a whole sandwich and whole pickles, while Walter has only a portion of a sandwich and a portion of a pickle. Is this meant to be a clue, or am I just seeing meaning where there is none?
truth
Might it be that Mini-Observer has the whole story, knows the whole truth, and has all the answers, while Walter only knows part of the story, some of the truth and some of the answers? I think it’s very plausible that even with all that Walter has seen and done, that it’s only the tip of the iceberg.
observer
Is it possible that this is another clue that the young boy really is an ‘Observer‘? In all of the photos from “The Arrival” of the Observer, he was the same age, but perhaps he started out just like this boy, young and unfamiliar, but with an obvious awareness above and beyond human capabilities (except possibly Olivia).
connection
So what is the connection to Episode 102 “Same Old Story”? I think it’s possible that this young ‘Observer’ will grow very fast, perhaps becoming an adult in a matter of a few months. I don’t think it would be throught pituitary manipulation, like in Episode 102, but rather some sort of process designed by his own kind (whatever kind that is).
thoughts
Well, like I said, I might be stretching it with this one, but I will be curious to see if a future episode (this season or next) will reveal the boys growth rate. Anyone have any thoughts?

The Note:
Nietzsche – is a reference to Frederick Wilhelm Nietzsche a nineteenth-century German philosopher and classical philologist.
notes
There are old notes from Exploration 1 and Exploration 7, although they are partially covered and cannot be fully read. It seems as though something interrupted Walter as he was typing his notes…because it ends during the middle of a word.
zft
The newest note appears to have been typed with the same typewriter that the ZFT manuscript was typed with. The image below is from the ZFT manuscript…
Note: the raised 'y'

In Walter’s lab notes this week, he mentions several mnemonics. After some quick Googling, I was able to find the meaning of some of them…
lab notes
- Every good boy does fine.
music; mnemonic for the lines of the treble clef – (FACE!) – spaces
- Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally.
Order of Operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division,Addition, Subtraction.
- Three point one four, pick your clothes off the floor.
3.14 is Pi
lab notes
Unfortunately, I had no luck finding any meaning for the others. Does anyone have any ideas for these ones…
lab notes
- Always floss between your toes.
- See the dog jump around in a circle.
- My goodness but eating hot nachos causes pain.
- Water, earth, air & fire, only three in a funeral pyre.

There are also some yellow M&M’s, a book containing information about Marie-Angelique Memmie LeBlanc, and a strange grainy photo, similar to the one seen in the lab notes for Ability.
fringe
The Note:
The notes appear to have been typed using the same typewriter from Ability with the elevated ‘Y’.
The note paper has been crumbled, opened and smoothed for presentation.
Walter refers to Lethe. In Greek mythology, Lethe is a river in Hades. Those who drink from it experience complete forgetfulness.
Marie-Angélique Memmie Le Blanc featured in the book in the notes, was a genuine feral child.
