More Spoilers

In the new time line, Peter is gone, but he keeps appearing now and then, especially to Walter, who is being driven crazier than usual by the man he keeps seeing in the reflections of the TV, mirror, etc.

Walter is not the same man he is without Peter. He is afraid of leaving his lab and sleeps there on a couch sofa, with a guard. Astrid and Olivia help him more than they used to.

Lincoln and Olivia don't remember meeting in this world. Lincoln is more of a real FBI agent, and his partner gets killed in the first episode. Olivia tries to keep him out of it, but he insists on working on the investigation. Olivia ends up partnering up with him and he learns about not only Fringe but the other universe.

In the first episode, "Neither Here Nor There", a translucent man is murdering people and stealing elements from their blood, and injecting them into himself. He has a partner, too. They are some form of human shape-shifters. Broyles asks the other world's Olivia to look into it, since it was Walternate that came up with the other shape shifters. 

Olivia does not trust Fauxlivia, and Walter hates Walternate.

Fauxlivia learns about Olivia's childhood abuse from her stepfather in the second episode.

The other world's Broyles is not dead in the new time line. We can tell that something important is missing from Olivia's and Walter's lives (Peter, of course).

The Observers appear in the first episode and plan to get rid of Peter once and for all, but the one who is supposed to do it loses heart--it looks like he can't do that to poor Walter.

In the second episode, which is very appropriate for Halloween since it is creepy and spooky, a serial killer is finding people with happy lives, hooking them up to his brain, and asking them about the happiest times in their lives.  He is in the alternate universe, and their Fringe Division asks ours for help in finding him before he kills again (he's killed 23 people). In this universe, the same guy is college professor whose specialty is serial killers. They sedate him and take him to the killer's house so he can help them find out where he went. He figures out that this is his house in an alternate world (well, he figures out some of it and Fringe fills him in on the rest). Our Olivia and Fauxlivia have to work together on this case, and our Olivia works with ALT Lincoln and the rest of the crew. The professor tells Olivia that he was abused by his father, and he has the same darkness as the killer, but a kind woman named Marjorie showed him how to control his darker impulses.

The professor escapes and finds the killer because he thinks that he can change the killer to be like him. Unfortunately, that doesn't work. The killer hooks himself up to his brain. Both Olivias and Lincoln find them. The killer is upset because, having seen the professor's memories, he now has remorse and regret. He is upset about what he did to those people, so he shoots himself before Olivia can stop him.

Back in our world, the professor is recovered. He has no memories of what happened, nor of Marjorie...Olivia is worried, so she talks to him. He doesn't remember Marjorie, but he remembers what she taught him about living in the light.
