Back “over here,” the Fringe Division investigates a bizarre phenomenon when 15 people up and down the Eastern Seaboard, all suffer retrograde amnesia from listening to their shortwave radios on the same frequency. Much to Walter’s dismay, Peter presses on with piecing together the mass destruction device. Just as alternate Olivia and Peter’s chemistry deepens, the anticipation of Olivia’s return escalates
The fugue playing when Astrid put on the Bach album titled "Bach Fugues" was not a fugue, but rather the "Air" movement from Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068 (Air on a G String, as it is otherwise known).
Johann, The album was Bach's work: The Art of Fugue (BWV 1080) and is considered to be largely based on mathematical permutations of Pythagorean theory and counterpoint. A highly mathematical reference, albeit musical.
Also worthy to note, Bach used the letters of his name to form a musical motif (like a musical autograph) in this work.

"Does anyone know what Dziedzinie, the word on the electrical component the shapeshifter put into the circuit board in the cube, means?" I read elsewhere that it means "field". Unfortunately, it means field as in agriculture, not magnetic.
