1. Anna Torv plays Agent Olivia Dunham. In the beginning of the first episode we find she is having an affair. Who's the lucky guy?

Mark Valley of "Boston Legal" came in as the show's dead/not dead good/bad guy. He was also featured in two episodes of another Sci-Fi show, "The 4400".

Answer: They put him into a drug-induced coma.

Although his condition worsens in the coma, this prolongs his life. Agent Dunham has no idea how much time she has to try to find a cure.

An accident at the lab killed one of his co-workers, and he was sent to a mental hospital shortly after that. He hasn't seen his son in 17 years.

Answer: Baghdad

He's making a sales pitch to two Iraqi businessmen. She has to threaten him to get him to come with her.

5. Doctor Bishop mentions that he used to work with William Bell. Dunham and Peter both recognize the name. He is the founder of what largely-named company?

6. Doctor Bishop insists that he'll need his old lab to run tests. Where is it?

Answer: The basement at Harvard

Throughout the show, his lab is located in "the" basement of Harvard. Apparently in the world of "Fringe", Harvard has only one building.

Agent Dunham has to do a lot of dangerous things including taking LSD and inserting a metal rod into her brain. The "shine a light in his brain" idea came from the Will Smith move "Wild Wild West".

Answer: The Pattern

Dunham had not heard of The Pattern, to Sharp's apparent surprise. She also shows Dunham her mechanical arm.

9. Dunham and company catch up with the guy who knows the list of chemicals. Unfortunately, he's uncooperative. Which "unauthorized" character convinces him to cooperate?

Answer: Peter

Peter smashes his fingers with a coffee mug. This is apparently a good way to get information out of him.

10. The team saves the day and saves Dunham's lover. Why is this ironic?

Answer: Her lover is revealed as a "bad guy".

As it turns out, he was seemingly working for the wrong side all along. His dying words to her are, "Ask yourself why Broyles sent you to the storage facility." (Of course, we find out later he may not have been so bad. This is the according to the pilot.)
