Fringe: Critical Season 4 Episodes?

Fringe Fans: What are the absolutely essentials episodes in Season 4?
I've been watching Fringe on blu-ray (with a little bit of amazon video), but I've got the chance to go to the panel at Comic-Con next week, which means I really need to catch up. I've already seen the first 2 episodes of season 4, but I don't have time to cram 20 episodes in over the next 6 days, so other than those, which are the most crucial to the season 4 plot?

Not to threadsit too much, but yeah, that's what I was afraid of.

I agree with zizzle - this season is tied together particularly tightly, and references past season eps that we only *thought* were monster-of-the-week throwaways.
You can sleep when you're dead! You can get through 20 eps in six days!

If push really does come to shove...you've seen the first two episodes, so you know that nobody remembers Peter, and he's bummed about it. Skip on to episode 15: A Short Story About Love.
Then you absolutely have to watch episode 19: Letters In Transit. This will very likely be a prelude to season 5. And then wrap it up with the last three episodes, World's Apart and Brave New World Parts 1 and 2
I think this will leave you well prepared for Comic-Con.

I think you could skip "Letters In Transit" if you were pressed for time. It does probably serve as a bridge to next season, but at the same time it's not an integral part of the Season 4 arc.
If I were re-watching the season, I'd pull it out and watch it last -- after the finale.

This thread is closed to new comments.
I think, though, if you were to skip any, they would be:
Wallflower
Making Angels (which is a really good episode, though)
The rest, though...you'd be missing out on some big stuff if you skipped any of them.
