Something that has intrigued me throughout the series so far, has been how the various groups and individuals link together. In many ways, the relationships between the characters and factions form a pattern of their own. Episode 1.13 gave us one of the most insightful offerings yet as to the overarching character connections.
Want to know what connects the Evelina Mendoza, Marshall Bowman, Daniel Hicks and John Scott? Continue after the jump for some musings.

Popular Mechanics return to the fringe with their science fiction vs science-fact analysis of “The Transformation”. Wanna know your chances of turning into Sonic The Hedgehog? Then you better read on!
Viruses are back terrorizing victims on Fringe, and they’re as vicious as ever. Two weeks ago mysterious killers used super-sized cold viruses—and questionable science—to murder to prominent epidemiologists, and in last night’s episode, “The Transformation,” a deadly virus turned its victims into unrecognizable monsters. The first victim is flying on a plane when the change starts as a nosebleed, and then kicks into high-gear when he convulses and huge spines shoot out of this back. Once the man becomes a half porcupine/half wolfman, he terrorizes the plane until it crashes. The Fringe team finds his body at the crash site, so mangled that rescue workers thought he was an animal, not a human.

Walter Bishop documents his latest thoughts in the aftermath of another crazy day on the fringe (click above to enlarge).
Unfortunately he doesn’t offer much explanation for how Marshall Bowman transformed into a hedgehog, but he does provide an apt comparison between a blocked reservoir and Olivia’s memories of John Scott:
The fluid in the reservoir remains at a constant level., even when small quantities of fluid are added, as the excess flow out the siphon pipe. But! Forcing a larger volume of fluid into the reservoir completely fills the pipe, at which point gravitational pull on the fluid in the pipe creates a suction that nearly empties the reservoir of all it’s contents
Any solids within the reservoir must be smaller than the diameter of the siphon pipe, or at least soft enough to squeeze through. Otherwise the solid matter may become stuck in the pipe. Then the excess fluid accumulates in the reservoir, overflowing once it’s surface reaches the rim.
Likewise, Scott’s consciousness has become lodged in the plumbing of Dunham’s brain, interrupting the free-flow of neural impulses.
