History Recap / FringeS01E05PowerHungry

Olivia talks to Charlie Francis about her encounter with her deceased lover John Scott in the ([[Recap/FringeS01E04TheArrival previous]] episode. She, Peter, and Walter Bishop arrive at the scene, where they determine that the deceased were electrocuted before the impact, and that the elevator did not fall, but drove down. Furthermore, Walter detects electromagnetic energy in the area. Meanwhile, Meegar inadvertently causes a packaging machine to malfunction, severely injuring his boss right after Meegar is fired. He later reveals to his mother that some time ago he answered a magazine advertisement promising to "unlock [his] hidden potential", and although he has no knowledge of what has been done to him, he believes that everything that is happening is a result of being experimented on. A further panicked Meegar then causes his mother's pacemaker to fail, and she dies.

* ElevatorFailure: Joseph's ability causes the elevator to fail, killing everyone but him.

* ShockAndAwe: Joseph Meegar is given electromagnetic abilities without his knowing. Unfortunately, he can't control it, which leads to frying his company's equipment, crashing an elevator with himself inside(He unknowingly levitates and saves himself, but kills everyone inside, including the girl he had a crush on), crushing his boss's arm in a machine and killing his mother by frying her pacemaker.
* ShrinkingViolet: Joseph is a male example. He still lives with his mother(Or she lives with him, she has health issues and he takes care of her).

Walter realizes Olivia is seeing Scott, and reveals she's not hallucinating. He theorizes that when both minds were linked during Scott's coma ([[FringeS01E01Pilot "Pilot"]]), a part of Scott's consciousness embedded itself within hers. Later, while driving home, she spots Scott again. He leads her to a basement where Scott has been running his own Pattern-related investigations. Phillip Broyles hands Olivia some of Scott's personal effects. Among them she finds an engagement ring, proving Scott's claim to have loved her.

* TheWoobie: Joseph is having a VERY bad week, all of which includes being given abilities against his will, and accidently killing both his crush and his mother. And at the end we don't even get a reassurance that he'll get better.

A man realises that he's somehow controlling machinery with his mind when people around him start to die in technological accidents. As Fringe Division investigates these accidents and tries to find the source, Olivia is visited by more visions of John Scott. When she tells Walter, he realises that during the [[Recap/FringeS01E01Pilot shared consciousness experience]], some of John's memories were transferred into Olivia's mind and she's slowly processing them as hallucinations. At the end of the episode, one of these hallucinations leads Olivia to John's safehouse, where dozens of files on Pattern-related cases are stored.
