The episode followed the Fringe team's investigation into random people mysteriously disintegrating into ash, a case which <a href="/wiki/Phillip_Broyles" class="mw-redirect" title="Phillip Broyles">Agent Broyles</a> had become deeply obsessed with in the past. </p><p>It was co-written by <a href="/wiki/J.H._Wyman" class="mw-redirect" title="J.H. Wyman">J.H. Wyman</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Vlaming" title="Jeff Vlaming">Jeff Vlaming</a>, while <a href="/wiki/Jon_Cassar" title="Jon Cassar">Jon Cassar</a> served as the director. The episode first aired on November 5, 2009 in the United States on the <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox network</a>. An estimated 4.86 million viewers tuned in, contributing to a new ratings low for the series. The episode received generally mixed reviews, though multiple reviewers highlighted the episode's special effects. The <a href="/wiki/VFX" class="mw-redirect" title="VFX">VFX</a> production team received a nomination at the 8th Annual <a href="/wiki/Visual_Effects_Society_Awards_2009" class="mw-redirect" title="Visual Effects Society Awards 2009">Visual Effects Society Awards</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Earthling_(Fringe)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A <a href="/wiki/Boston" title="Boston">Boston</a> man (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Joe_Towne&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Joe Towne (page does not exist)">Joe Towne</a>) is attacked by a shadowy, ghost-like figure; his wife (<a href="/wiki/Michelle_Harrison_(actress)" title="Michelle Harrison (actress)">Michelle Harrison</a>) returns home to find he disintegrates into ash upon being touched. After learning all of the victims had recently visited a hospital before dying, <a href="/wiki/Phillip_Broyles" class="mw-redirect" title="Phillip Broyles">Agent Broyles</a> (<a href="/wiki/Lance_Reddick" title="Lance Reddick">Lance Reddick</a>) explains the case is similar to one he had trouble with in the past, in which his obsessive behavior effectively ended his marriage to his wife Diane. The suspect, an Eastern European man, had contacted him four years ago sounding distraught and asked him to figure out a special formula, which Broyles was unable to solve. <a href="/wiki/Walter_Bishop_(Fringe)" title="Walter Bishop (Fringe)">Walter</a> (<a href="/wiki/John_Noble" title="John Noble">John Noble</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Peter_Bishop" title="Peter Bishop">Peter</a> (<a href="/wiki/Joshua_Jackson" title="Joshua Jackson">Joshua Jackson</a>) study the victim's remains at their lab and begin studying the formula given to Broyles. </p><p>Several more people are attacked and reduced to ash. A search of Eastern European employees leads them to Russian night nurse Tomas (<a href="/wiki/Ravil_Isyanov" title="Ravil Isyanov">Ravil Isyanov</a>), but he is gone when they search his apartment. Despite being ordered to end the investigation and that the suspect is wanted by the Russian government and the <a href="/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency" title="Central Intelligence Agency">CIA</a>, Broyles tells <a href="/wiki/Olivia_Dunham" title="Olivia Dunham">Olivia</a> (<a href="/wiki/Anna_Torv" title="Anna Torv">Anna Torv</a>) to continue the case. Walter posits the entity needs radiation, and chooses its victims based on their exposure levels. They learn that Tomas stole his <a href="/wiki/Coma" title="Coma">comatose</a> brother, a former <a href="/wiki/Cosmonaut" class="mw-redirect" title="Cosmonaut">cosmonaut</a>, and has been moving him around to both protect him and contain the entity. Fearing capture, Tomas removes his brother from the hospital; Walter speculates that the cosmonaut brought the entity back with him upon returning from space. Walter is finally able to solve the formula, and Broyles sadly tells Tomas over the phone that his brother and the entity cannot be separated. However, during their conversation, the entity escapes his brother's body and kills Tomas. The Fringe team is able to trace the call, and Broyles shoots the host (Tomas' brother) in the head to stop the entity from attacking another victim. </p><p>At the end of the episode, a mysterious CIA agent (<a href="/wiki/J._R._Bourne" class="mw-redirect" title="J. R. Bourne">J. R. Bourne</a>) approaches Broyles and tells him to not report the case.

It starts out with the appearance of a smoke monster that kills its victims by enveloping them and leaving behind an exact life-like looking corpse only the body is made of ash which crumbles horribly when touched. The smoke creature moved rapidly as opposed to gently drifting so I had some movement to play off of in creating a sound for him. I came up with some stuttering, fluttery whooshes that kind of vibrated which made him more dangerous than if he sounded like a puff of steam moving along the hall. The smoke monster requires a host body to live in when he's not vibrating around killing people. The only way to recall the smoke monster to the host body, or to keep him there in the first place, is by severe electrical shock."<sup id="cite_ref-designingsound_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-designingsound-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Visual_effects" title="Visual effects">Visual effects</a> supervisor Jay Worth found inspiration for the ash storyline from holding his grandmother-in-law's hands while at her funeral.

So we took a cyberscan of the guy's body, and on top of all the practical elements we used as a base, we had a matte painting, a reveal matte painting of the cracks that ran through the body, 3D particles of large chunks of ash falling out, 3D particles of small ash bits floating down, residual dust flying off of it and, at one point, his head falls off and crashes to the ground as ash. So we had to do a full-CG head and tumble it down the body. That was pretty complicated and entailed lots of R&D: there was 2D work in After Effects, tracking, retiming, we did a lot of CG lighting for the body parts in Maya/mental ray and all of the particles were a combination of Maya software, and rendered in Maya/mental ray."<sup id="cite_ref-awn_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-awn-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Casting_and_audio">Casting and audio</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Earthling_(Fringe)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Casting and audio"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Guest actor Gerard Plunkett made the first of two appearances as Senator <a href="/wiki/List_of_Fringe_characters#James_Van_Horn" title="List of Fringe characters">James Van Horn</a> (the second would be a <a href="/wiki/Do_Shapeshifters_Dream_of_Electric_Sheep%3F" title="Do Shapeshifters Dream of Electric Sheep?">season three episode</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Other guest stars included Ravil Isyanov, <a href="/wiki/J._R._Bourne" class="mw-redirect" title="J.
