"The day after her unsettling encounter with the Observer, Olivia informs Broyles of his unsettling prediction - her death is inevitable. Meanwhile, in Boston, teenage girl Emily Mallum appears compelled to draw a sketch, accurately predicting the gruesome death of a passer-by... The news of Emily&amp;#039;s fatal prediction obviously strikes a chord with Olivia! When Emily returns home, it&amp;#039;s revealed that her father Jim is aware of her ability and has been moving his family around the country to preserve her secret. At FBI HQ, Broyles is becoming concerned about Olivia after learning of her migraines and frequent trips to health services. But Agent Dunham is more worried about Emily&amp;#039;s ability and how it might relate to her own fate. &amp;quot;Maybe that man from the opera house does know something,&amp;quot; she speculates. Riding a bus, Emily sketches a fellow commuter, but he quickly exits on to the street and disappears from view. Meanwhile, Olivia and Lincoln visit the Mallum home, having identified Emily using surveillance footage.   Though Jim and his wife claim not to know Emily, the Fringe agents run into the teen on the street outside their apartment. But a furious Jim soon arrives to drag Emily away, explaining that Massive Dynamic have aggressively pursued his daughter in the past... When Olivia pays Nina a visit, the Massive Dynamic chief admits an interest in Emily - this appals Olivia, who compares the psychic girl&amp;#039;s plight to her own childhood trauma. Moments later, Olivia receives a call from Emily and the pair meet at a nearby lakeside. The teen shares the sketch she drew on the bus - it&amp;#039;s a massacre, bodies litter the streets... While Walter conducts tests on Emily at the Harvard lab, Peter and Astrid use her sketch to identify the man from the bus - one Albert Duncan. At Peter&amp;#039;s suggestion, Walter hypnotises Emily, allowing her to recall her vision in vivid detail. Emily&amp;#039;s mind is transported to a horrific landscape - there&amp;#039;s mass hysteria, destruction and death, all frozen in time. The scene is a courthouse, and Albert Duncan&amp;#039;s prone form lies inside, still grasping a detonator...   Bitter about his recent divorce and furious at the judge who denied him custody of his children, Duncan plans to bomb the Allston Courthouse. The Fringe team arrive on the scene and Peter leads the bomb squad inside. Still at home, Emily&amp;#039;s ability becomes active once more and she starts to sketch... As the courthouse is evacuated, Peter and the bomb squad discover an elaborate explosive in the building&amp;#039;s parking lot. Smart cookie Peter has an idea - he orders the assembled FBI agents to tune their radios to a specific frequency - the same frequency that Duncan is using... Duncan corners the judge who took away his children, but his detonator fails and he&amp;#039;s quickly surrounded by Olivia, Broyles and dozens of armed agents... The threat is not over - Duncan is wearing an explosive vest. Olivia seems convinced that the Observer&amp;#039;s prediction is moments away from coming true - she pleads with Duncan to surrender. Remarkably, he backs down and is taken into custody.   Olivia contacts the Mallum home to pass on the good news, but Emily has vanished! Olivia and Lincoln find her at the lakeside - in her latest sketch, Emily is sat by the lake with her father... Jim arrives just in time, holding Emily as she dies - she&amp;#039;s comforted by the knowledge that her ability helped to save the people at the courthouse. It&amp;#039;s revealed that Emily died of a stroke - her power was too much for her brain to handle. Some time later, Peter finds Olivia at the Harvard lab, researching the Observers. Peter shares his own knowledge of the mysterious race - they exist simultaneously in all time zones. Olivia&amp;#039;s deeply shaken when he explains that they don&amp;#039;t just predict the future, they&amp;#039;ve already experienced it... Nina visits Olivia at home and surrogate mother and daughter make amends following their earlier clash. But Olivia begins to suffer another migraine and on the street outside, an Observer lurks, watching her apartment...  Observing Fringe \u2022 After the past two, arc-heavy episodes, &amp;#039;Forced Perspective&amp;#039; sees Fringe return to a mostly procedural format - Olivia&amp;#039;s fate is explored and Peter&amp;#039;s quest to return home briefly touched upon, but there&amp;#039;s not a single mention of David Robert Jones. \u2022 The step back is disappointing - Fringe is always less effective as a procedural show and with time possibly running out for the series, is there really time to be wasted on one-off threats? \u2022 But rant over - taken on its own terms, &amp;#039;Forced Perspective&amp;#039; is a perfectly strong episode. The cast remain on top form and Emily&amp;#039;s ability does at least tie in with Olivia&amp;#039;s ongoing arc. \u2022 The scenes that take place in Emily&amp;#039;s mind are a highlight - the Courthouse explosion, frozen in time, makes for some impressive (not to mention unsettling) visuals. \u2022 This week&amp;#039;s Fringe glyphs spell out the word M A R C H - &amp;#039;Beware the Ides of March&amp;#039; of course being the soothsayer&amp;#039;s message, warning of the title character&amp;#039;s death, in Shakespeare&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Julius Caesar&amp;#039;. \u2022 Spotting the Observer - Not a tough one! As noted above, he&amp;#039;s watching Olivia&amp;#039;s home, just waiting... "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
