Fringe Re-Watch #19: “Inner Child”

“Inner Child” (Season 1, Episode 15)

Written by:  Brad Caleb Kane & Julia Cho

Directed by:  Frederick E. O. Toye

Originally Aired: April 7th, 2009

Glyph Code: WALTER

“Inner Child” is a weird Fringe episode when you’re doing a re-watch. In 2009, it felt like a regular episode of the week after the show took a nearly 2 month hiatus after the bombshell episode that was “Ability”. This episode also feels like it could’ve aired at any point in time in season 1. It could’ve been episode 5, The only thing keeping it from something like that is Olivia’s sister and niece staying with her, but even that plot seems to come and go. And yet, “Inner Child” might be one of the most important episodes in terms of the overall story and mythos. This child, who felt like a one-off character for about 98% of the episode, suddenly peaked our interest with his very last scene and became an unanswered question until he became one of the most important characters in the final season. That makes “Inner Child” in a bit of a limbo of feeling like an episode of the week, but knowing how important this is. And lost in both of that is how “Inner Child” is really an episode about letting the viewer get to know Olivia a little better. 

Last time, we talked about how Clarice Starling must’ve been a huge influence on the character of Olivia Dunham, so it’s no surprise the villain of this week has a bit of Bufallo Bill about him. There’s A LOT of Silence of the Lambs in Fringe’s first season and that might be a reason I got so attached to it. One of the great things about the character of Clarice and Jodi Foster’s performance, is that she’s able to show her vulnerability and humanity in the shadow of such a gruesome set of murders and interviewing a cannibal. For Olivia, she becomes so obsessed with a case, that at times it felt like we didn’t really know who Olivia was behind the agent. Looking at that, we can see her sister and niece coming to live with her was meant to show what Olivia is like at home, with family. We can debate whether or not this worked overall, but it does come into play in this particular episode. 

We’ve seen Olivia get along with her niece in several episodes before, and it actually all pays off here with the child. I’m just gonna call him Michael, even though we won’t get that information till much later. While connecting with Michael could’ve gone to Peter or Walter, it was a smart choice to give this to Olivia and have her be protective of Michael while also using his clues to try and solve an old case. This goes to show Olivia’s empathy and compassion and how her job is very much connecting with others.We did get this in the pilot, her whole motivation for kicking off the event of modern day Fringe was to save the man she was in love with, but with everything that’s been going on in season 1, we may have gotten away from this, so it was important to bring this back to the center. Especially when we’re about to get involved in some revelations to Olivia’s backstory.  Season 1 did go back and forth between plots a lot, but it is a bit jarring that there’s really not a mention of what went down in the episode previously. It goes with this episode feeling like it could’ve been placed anywhere.

Not to make this all about Olivia, Peter has a nice moment with Michael when trying to connect to him with a G.I. Joe and one of the standout moments of this episode is Walter’s dance to get the device on Michael. Both of these moments would later feed into the future of the show. A reference about Peter’s toys is a clue to the season finale shocker that Peter is from the other side, and Walter’s dance has a very creepy negative effect when we start to realize he knew how to manipulate children in order to do his experiments on them. 

I can’t say much about The Artist in this episode. A neat idea that’s been done quite a few times and I’ll admit in 2019 I would’ve expected them to go a bit deeper into the idea of someone killing women and remaking them the way he felt. Considering some of the gender politics that was a big part in the pilot, maybe the show was going to go deeper into this, but smartly realized the Olivia/Michael connection was more of the central emotional story. I do feel like The Artist could’ve been a bigger character had he been part of a different episode of the week, one not centered on Michael. 

And that brings us to the ending with Michael and September. For years fans debated the importance of this scene or what it meant. I will admit I was one of the people believing that Michael was actually September and that September was time travelling to the year when he was found. We weren’t actually too far off either! I’ll have more to say when we eventually get to that reveal in Season 5, but I’m glad this wasn’t a dropped storyline and it was brought back. 

While “Inner Child” felt like a filler episode for most of it’s time, it’s fascinating how much fans latched onto this episode believing it was something more than just a weird fringe event of the week. It provided key character moments for Olivia and introduced us to a character that would change everything 4 seasons later. I still find it a weird episode to watch because it’s importance is very much relying on knowing about Michael next appearance, but I also felt like this was a successful attempt at giving Olivia more layers. Watching this I expected us to get back to the David Robert Jones plot for the next episode but looks like we’re doing Unleashed! It’ll be interesting because I remember very little of this! So that’s what we’ll be covering next time as we inch closer and closer to the end of this first season.

Diane: Well, this is not a gentle maneuver.

Julius: Yes, but you're turning it into a coup.

Diane: No, this is not a coup. These are all tools supplied to prevent our country from turning into a monarchy.

Julius: This is Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Diane: Actually, it's just the opposite. It's clarity. I've spent the last few months feeling fucking deranged! Like I'm living in some bad reality show. Going numb! All Trump, all the time. What's real? What's fake? Well, you know what? I just woke up.
