Encyclopedia

drama
television series
Fringe
. The episode followed Olivia
and Peter
's investigation into mysterious disappearances taking place in a small Pennsylvania
town.
The episode was written by executive producers/showrunners Jeff Pinkner
and J. H. Wyman, and directed by Brad Anderson. It was the last episode to feature guest actress Meghan Markle
as Agent Amy Jessup, but was the first with recurring guest actors Kevin Corrigan
and Stefan Arngrim
.
"Night of Desirable Objects" premiered on September 24, 2009 to an estimated 7.73 million viewers in the United States. It received generally positive reviews, as multiple critics praised the storyline while at the same time acknowledging it did little to advance the show's mythology.
, a highway construction worker hears an odd noise in a cornfield, and is pulled down into an underground tunnel by a mysterious, unidentified creature. Using a lighter for sight, he sees the remains of other creatures, and is then eaten by the creature off screen. Meanwhile, Walter
(John Noble
) investigates Olivia
's (Anna Torv
) car crash from the previous episode
. He believes she traveled to a parallel universe that is similar to theirs, but she still cannot remember with whom she met with, or why.
Having recovered enough from the events of the previous episode, Olivia is released from the hospital, and is watched by the shapeshifter
who has killed Charlie Francis (Kirk Acevedo
) and adopted his appearance. Peter
(Joshua Jackson
) learns of mysterious disappearances taking place in Lansdale, and the Fringe team arrives to investigate. Walter finds a blue, paralytic substance at the scene, which he suspects is from mutated DNA. The investigation leads to a local resident, Andre Hughes (John Savage
), who tells them he lost his wife and baby in childbirth. Olivia begins to develop super-hearing as a result of crossing to the parallel universe
, and hears someone else in Hughes' house despite his saying he's the only one there. She ventures upstairs to investigate; after failing to find anything, she accidentally fires her weapon, narrowly missing Peter. They bring Hughes in for questioning, and he refuses to give them a blood sample for their investigation.
Nina Sharp (Blair Brown
) talks with Olivia, and recommends she see a friend, Sam Weiss (Kevin Corrigan
) "who helped put [her] back together" after she was diagnosed with cancer
. Agent Amy Jessup (Meghan Markle
) and she believes Hughes may have killed his wife and son. When they exhume their bodies, they find the baby's casket is empty. Hughes commits suicide however before they can question him further.
Walter discovers that Hughes' wife had a form of lupus
, and was incapable of having children. Hughes genetically altered the baby to enable his survival, and after birth, it developed into a "superbaby" and began feeding on people. Olivia and Peter travel back to Hughes' house, and are attacked by the creature when investigating the basement and its nearby tunnels. The creature attempts to escape by digging out. It is killed by a police car parked above ground when it collapses into the tunnel and crushes the creature.
At Nina's recommendation, Olivia meets with Sam Weiss, who works at a bowling alley. He tells her to expect headaches as one consequence of crossing universes. The final scene shows the shapeshifted Charlie communicating with someone from the parallel universe, who tells him to help make Olivia remember her experience crossing over.
and J.H. Wyman wrote the episode, while filmmaker Brad Anderson served as the director, his first such credit for the season.
The show's sound production team had two major special effects to create for the episode: the mole creature, and Olivia's superhearing. They decided to voice the creature using Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) "because his range of actions and emotions was simply too broad for a library monster vocal set to cover". Sound editor Bruce Tanis cut "creepy moans and breaths" when the creature was heard but not seen, and added "a layer of vicious attack growls and wounded screams" for when it died. Tanis commented that the actor voicing the creature placed pieces of orange
in his mouth in order to have "a slobbery, sputtering voice". For Olivia's scenes with superhearing, Tanis made ordinary, far off items like phones, typewriters, and cars "sound a little beefier than normal and kept them a bit more up in the mix than they usually would be," as these things were not in the same room as her. The sound editors wanted to emphasize that the various sounds she hears could be coming from anywhere, such as next door, or a block away, or could perhaps be all inside her head. Torv later noted in a BuddyTV
interview that while shooting, she was unsure whether her new found abilities were permanent or temporary, to which the writers replied that "apparently it's just something that comes and goes". After expressing her confusion, they responded "Oh that's good, Olivia's confused too".
"Night of Desirable Objects" was the first episode to feature guest actor Kevin Corrigan
as the mysterious Sam Weiss. Weiss' appearance generated some rumors that he was a figment of Olivia's imagination, causing actress Anna Torv
to state in a later interview that she has always believed Weiss to be "100 percent real" and her character's "guide". The episode marked the last appearance by guest actress Meghan Markle
, who plays Agent Amy Jessup. Frequent Fringe collaborator Akiva Goldsman
later hinted in January 2010 that audiences have "not seen the last of Agent Jessup". Other guest stars included John Savage
and Charles Martin Smith
, as well as Stefan Arngrim
, who made his second appearance on the series.
. Fringe faced tough competition from CBS
's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
and ABC
's Grey's Anatomy
, causing Fox to place fourth for the night.
, critic Noel Murray graded the episode with an A-, explaining he thought the episode worked well because the monster was "cool," the newly super-powered Olivia was "intriguing," and the little episode quirks (such as a typewriter communicating messages) helped to give Fringe "its own flavor". Ramsey Isler from IGN
rated the episode 8.1/10, writing that despite its "relative insignificance" at explaining more show mythology, it "was still very well done, creepy as hell, and pretty entertaining". He also praised the main actors' performances, but wished Fringe would answer more questions and produce less "monster-of-the-week" episodes.

Fox Mulder
, praised Acevedo's performance as "evil Charlie," but found some of Walter's mannerisms to be "cheesy". SFScope
writer Sarah Stegall lauded the premise of multiple universes, and called the episode's horror elements the reason she is now "a devoted fan of this show". Stegall also praised Kirk Acevedo's performance as well as the parallels between Andrea Hughes and Walter; she concluded "This may have been the best episode of this entire series, second perhaps to last season's finale, and certainly better than anything the anemic Grey's Anatomy or the aging CSI can offer". On the other hand, MTV
's Josh Wigler thought the episode's mystery was "barely compelling" when compared to the aftereffects of Olivia's journey to the parallel universe, and wished that more time had been focused on this. Though he understood that Fringe "rides a fine line between an ongoing drama and a series of stand-alone stories," Wigler believed the show would have to choose one soon, and wanted the focus to be on the former and its parallel universe storyline.
, an episode from the first season, was the only other Fringe episode to be nominated. "Night of Desirable Objects" lost to the pilot
of Glee
