Newton successfully removes part of his brain, but he and his team are forced to leave before they can seal the man's head back up. The Fringe team of <a href="/wiki/Olivia_Dunham" title="Olivia Dunham">Olivia</a> (<a href="/wiki/Anna_Torv" title="Anna Torv">Anna Torv</a>), <a href="/wiki/Peter_Bishop" title="Peter Bishop">Peter</a> (<a href="/wiki/Joshua_Jackson" title="Joshua Jackson">Joshua Jackson</a>), and <a href="/wiki/Walter_Bishop_(Fringe)" title="Walter Bishop (Fringe)">Walter</a> (<a href="/wiki/John_Noble" title="John Noble">John Noble</a>) arrive at the institution and learn that Slater's <a href="/wiki/Paranoid_schizophrenia" class="mw-redirect" title="Paranoid schizophrenia">paranoid schizophrenia</a> was apparently cured by the operation, and that his brain is still structurally intact. </p><p>While viewing security footage, Olivia recognizes Newton, the leader of the shapeshifters who was reanimated from a <a href="/wiki/Cryonics" title="Cryonics">cryogenically</a> frozen head at the end of "<a href="/wiki/Momentum_Deferred" title="Momentum Deferred">Momentum Deferred</a>". Astrid and Walter research the patient's physician, Dr. Paris, and learn he set up an indefinite prescription fourteen years ago for Slater as well as two other patients in the same week. Peter and Olivia interview one of these other patients, who constantly thought about the number 28, but was recently cured of her <a href="/wiki/Obsessive_compulsive_disorder" class="mw-redirect" title="Obsessive compulsive disorder">obsessive compulsive disorder</a> by Newton. She tells them she was originally sent to the hospital by Dr Paris for mild <a href="/wiki/Postpartum_depression" title="Postpartum depression">postpartum depression</a>, and that her obsessive compulsive disorder started soon after. Peter and Olivia also hear of a third patient who was mysteriously cured two days ago. Walter realizes that all the patients were given constant doses of organ transplant medication, and that foreign brain tissue was stored in each of their brains. </p><p>Walter undergoes a <a href="/wiki/X-ray_computed_tomography" class="mw-redirect" title="X-ray computed tomography">CT scan</a>, and the team learn Walter had three pieces of his brain tissue removed from his <a href="/wiki/Hippocampus" title="Hippocampus">hippocampus</a>, the primary repository for long-term memory. The pieces were then apparently stored inside the brains of the cured patients fourteen years ago. Knowing only Walter could comprehend the memories concerning how to open a portal to another reality, the shapeshifters kidnap him. By the time the others find Walter, Newton has already learned what he needs to know and escapes. Olivia manages to stop them, but is forced to choose between seizing Newton and saving Walter, as he has been given a lethal dose of a <a href="/wiki/Neurotoxin" title="Neurotoxin">neurotoxin</a> that will kill him unless Newton gives them the correct directions.
