Episode Summary:

Fifteen years in the future, our universe has survived the activation of the doomsday machine, but is now having many Fringe events similar to the alternate universe. Terrorists are trying to take advantage of the unstable situation by placing "electrilights" in "soft spots" to act as bombs and rip apart the fabric of the universe. They are hoping to bring about the end of days, but the Fringe team discovers a dud "electrilight" and reverse engineers it to hopefully discover the manufacturer before it is too late.
