I am – Hercules!! Another very strong episode last week with “White Tulip.” Producers were smart to put somebody as good as Peter Weller to work as the time man. Fox says of tonight’s episode, titled “The Man From The Other Side”:

When two teenagers on a date turn up "dead" at an abandoned warehouse with the three puncture wounds to the soft palate -- a trademark of the shape-shifters -- the Fringe team investigates the evidence as well as the motives of mastermind Newton. Upon discovering a shape-shifting embryo, Walter returns to the lab to conduct further analysis, and Olivia and Peter head to Massive Dynamic for answers. Meanwhile, Peter reveals a family secret to Olivia as Walter struggles to recall what Newton knows about "building a door." Guest Cast: Sebastian Roch as Thomas Jerome Newton; Ryan McDonald as Brandon; Peter Bryant as Ben McCalister; James Pizzinato as Dave; Katie Findlay as Jill; Shawn MacDonald as Daniel Verona; James Tsai as David Wu.

Next week brings “Brown Betty,” which appears to be the musical episode:

While Walter deals with some very upsetting news, he tells Olivia's niece, Ella (guest star Lily Pilblad), a fairy tale that includes musical performances by Olivia and Agent Broyles. Guest Cast: Ari Graynor as Rachel Dunham; Michael Cerveris as September; Lily Pilblad as Ella; Ryan McDonald as Brandon.

Newton returns again in the May 6 episode, titled “Northwest Passage”:

Peter teams up with a local law enforcement official, Sheriff Mathis (guest star Martha Plimpton), on a serial murder investigation with ties to Newton (guest star Sebastian Roch). Meanwhile, Walter copes with the possibility of being sent back to St. Claire's, and someone from the "other side" pays a visit. Guest Cast: Sebastian Roch as Thomas Jerome Newton; Martha Plimpton as Sheriff Tracy Mathis; Christine Chatelain as Krista; Patrick Gilmore as Deputy Ferguson; Juan Riedinger as Craig; Paul Herbert as Tom; Marie West as Heather.

The May 13 and May 20 episodes comprise a two-parter titled “Over There.” Fox has already renewed the show for a third season. 9 p.m. Thursday. Fox. Follow Herc on Twitter!! Follow Evil Herc on Twitter!!
