fringe august 3August returns to the hotel and asks Christine if she trusts him.  She does.  Peter and Olivia get a call saying the Observer has been... observed going into a hotel.  Killer Don arrives and tussles with August, telling him to give up the girl.  August refuses.  Peter and Olivia arrive.  August runs into the parking lot and Don shoots him.

Olivia returns fire.  Peter runs over to August and August gives him the energy pulse weapon.  Olivia stalks Don; Don stalks Olivia; Don sees Olivia; Peter sees Don; Peter shoots Don; Don falls off the roof to the ground; Peter sees that August is gone.

Olivia goes into the room.  She notices that the footboard-less bed seems bigger than the other bed.  She removes the pillows and finds Christine wedged in between the mattress and the wall.  Christine asks about her kidnapper and Olivia has no answers.

August is in the back of a car being driven by our Observer.  He wants to know why August saved her. August says that he developed what they call "feelings" for her.  He thinks he loves her.  He asks our Observer is she will be safe now.  The answer is "yes".  He made her important.  She is responsible for the death of one of them.  She is important now because one of them died to protect her.

Peter and Olivia talk to Christine.  They have no idea why August decided to save her.  Walter appears and gives her the teddybear from August's briefcase.  She is stunned - her dad won that for her the day he died.  She'd last seen it in the back of the car which was crushed during the earthquake.  Walter tells her that he believes she will be safe now.  Peter wants to know why Walter didn't say that he met with August.  Walter has no answer.

Olivia gets updated by Broyles.  Dead Don has been linked to 6 murders over the last 10 years.  Also, the pulse energy weapon doesn't work anymore.  The current theory is that Peter used up the last round.  Finally, the tip-off call came from the hotel.  They believe that August made the call to get them there to protect Christine.

That's all well and good, but Olivia wants the rest of the day off.  She takes Ella to the amusement park and gets onto the same rollercoaster she swore she'd never go one.  Observer #3 joins our Observer as he looks on.  "Look how happy she is," Observer #3 says.  "It's a shame things are about to get so hard for her.

    **Observer #3 notes that August “has created an irregularity. We’ll have to correct it. Call Donald.”**

    How much did it crack me up that the Observers have a “Donald” on speed dial? ;)

    Peter was looking mighty hot shooting that pulse gun, wasn’t he? I am worried about his future…if the Observer interferred in his natural death, when is payback due? Poor Walter, dealing with all that alone.

    **The energy pulse weapon is now genetically coded to only work for Peter. Yes or no?**

    Oohh, interesting. Do we know from previous episodes that the gun(s) only work for one person?

      This confused me because I thought Peter died of natural causes. Perhaps they did something that caused Peter to get sick. I figured that the “interference” was when they allowed Walter to keep the Peter from the other side.

      “Do we know from previous episodes that the gun(s) only work for one person?”

      No, but we know that the insta-disguise device the shapeshifters use are coded to only one person. Mwah-ha-ha! :)
