Episode Summary:

People begin experiencing a range of time related anomalies, such as an apartment building partially reverting back to four years ago when there was a fire. The Fringe team believes that Peter might be the cause of the time loops, and takes him to investigate. He quickly determines the events are triggered by a man-made device, and discovers a pattern to the locations at which they appear. As they rush to prevent the next event that will occur in a tunnel, they find the source is enclosed in a time bubble that they must penetrate safely.
