Yay! Fringe is back! With its freaks and geeks and sassy FBI agents! I wanted to commemorate the occasion by writing lyrics for the theme music, but all I could come up with is "Fringey, fringey, fringey (etc.)... fringeyfringeyfringeyfringey (said really fast during the piano crescendo)!" I'll work on it.
And then we're watching Lost, because there's a closeup of a closed eye, which opens, and ... no, wait, it's just Olivia, awaking to her niece sitting there staring at her.
"Mommy gets grumpy if I wake her too early," Ella explains. Ella's lucky that she didn't get her face shot off by her burning-out FBI agent aunt, you know. Olivia asks if Ella wants some pancakes, which Ella definitely would, and I agree it beats a bullet in the face.
Over at the federal building, Charlie is taking a phone call from his old buddy Jim, and Charlie teases him about his mayor getting into a little bit of trouble: "That couldn't have been fun for you guys." Is Jim in Detroit? Small chat aside, Charlie suddenly looks all serious. "When?" he asks. Then he rushes over to a fax machine and asks if anyone took anything off it in the last five minutes, like nice document security, FBI, and Charlie rifles through the papers until he finds what he's looking for: a picture of a dismembered doll with "You are invited to the showing of a brand new work" written across the top and "Time: Today" and "Place: Boston" written across the bottom. Charlie stares at it.
Meanwhile, despite everybody else being at the office and working their asses off, Olivia is still at home with her sister, who apologizes for Ella's waking her up: "I told her to let you sleep late," she says, and Olivia wryly says Ella did, until 6:17, which her sister confirms is late for Ella. Ella comes in with a couple of shirts for her mom to pick from, which is cute, only when I need to get my daughter dressed, I have to pick two shirts for her to choose from, otherwise she will reject each and every article of clothing I choose for her to put on, and Rachel picks the yellow shirt, but Ella doesn't go anywhere before confirming the selection with Aunt Liv, who backs up her sister. "Did you tell her?" asks Ella before being shooed out of the room by her mother. "Tell me what?" asks Olivia, and her sister says they're going apartment hunting today. Olivia's surprised that she's thinking about moving to Boston, and I'm surprised that Olivia's surprised, given that her sister and niece have been here for what seems like months. "You know you can stay here as long as you want," she tells Rachel, like YEAH, I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY SHE KNOWS THAT, and Rachel says Olivia doesn't need a "little creature" waking her up every morning, which hopefully doesn't get Olivia thinking about John again. "If that little creature is Ella, I am fine with it."
