Unaired episode? OK, I'll buy that. But on a series where all physical laws are constantly challenged, it is a little unfair to the audience to appear to raise someone from the dead, but no, that's not it at all. My first thought was that a fake Charlie was inserted and everyone hypnotized to believe that it was normal and he belonged. It's been done, for example on Star Trek:TNG. But that's not it either. It was simply a mistake. Apparently an intentional one with no explanation
Here's how you fix it: insert a scene where someone is remembering the experience.
Here's the biggest problem I had. Olivia would never have had to argue with Mom. That girl, and probably her mom too, would have been slapped deep into custody on National Security concerns until they both signed so many NDA's that would have had writers cramp for a month. And that only after a year long background investigation. The government doesn't take it very well when people have nuclear codes. Actually, Oliva's problem would more likely have been getting access to the girl from the NSA or the Navy. Mom would have been begging for Olivia's help. And a lot of the people on this show touch evidence without gloves.
Other than that, it was a good episode. Fairly classic early Fringe. Call it an 8 and penalize it by 3 for the unexplained Charlie confusion.
