Warning: Spoilers
Chance Kelly (The Bad guy from Bruce Willis' "Unbreakable") is Mitchell Leob - A personal friend of Broyles.

Who gets infected somehow with a kind of Plant organism around his heart, during an FBI Raid that went bad. His wife is played by Trini Alvarado from Pete Jackson's "The Frighteners."

As a personal favour to Broyles, Olivia has Walter look at the Organism. A manhunt ensues, as two names had popped up: Joseph Smith and David Robert Jones. Smith is Local, but Jones is in prison in Germany.

And so Olivia travels to Germany to "meet" Mr. Jones - It seems that Jones had been expecting her visit. It would appear that Jones is the titular "Head" of the ZFT - Which means "Destruction through The Advancement of Technology" - An Organisation which is using a particular text as a Bible. This is the earliest of Fringe episodes that has anything to do with with ZFT: And it's relation to "The Pattern."

But that we do not learn these things in this episode, only the Name and the name of Jones - They are kind of "slipped under the door" in this episode: Hinted at, but never fully revealed.

Jones knows how to cure Leob but will not tell Olivia unless he can talk to Smith - Who unfortunately is Dead.

The interesting thing here is how Walter is able to gain access to a dead guy's brain. But even Walter has difficulty reading a brain that has been scrambled like so many eggs by a bullet.

In a way - The Medical Condition, Flying Out of Country, the race against Time for the cure, is similar to the Pilot Ep. But that is where the similarity Ends. This episode has one and one purpose only: "In Which We Meet Mr. Jones."

Who will be a Thorn in the Bishop's Side, and also William Bell's side — in Season 1 and Season 4.

This guy Leob - What is his agenda? We get to find out later in the season.
