"Olivia. In the Lab. With the Revolver." is the 17th episode of the second season of the American science-fiction drama television series Fringe, and the 37th episode overall. In terms of production, it is the season’s sixteenth episode, "Unearthed" being held over from the first season. In the episode, Olivia (Anna Torv) investigates a man with a possible connection to her who has the lethal ability to spread cancer by touch.
The episode was written by Matthew Pitts and directed by Brad Anderson. In addition to featuring recurring guest actors Kevin Corrigan and Omar Metwally, the episode marked the only (uncredited) guest appearance from actress/model Diane Kruger. First broadcast in the United States on April 8, 2010 on Fox, "Olivia. In the Lab. With the Revolver." received generally positive reviews, with one critic praising the mixture of mythology and standalone elements for the episode.
In Providence, Rhode Island, lawyer Miranda Green (Diane Kruger) takes a lunch meeting with sickly young man James Heath (Omar Metwally). While he claims to have been with her in preschool, she doesn’t remember him. She does believe that her firm can help him against those who made him sick. Driving back to her office, Miranda spontaneously develops tumors all over her body and dies in her car.
Olivia (Anna Torv) has a sleepless night owing to her recent discovery that Peter (Joshua Jackson) was abducted from the "Over There" universe by a grief-stricken Walter (John Noble). She goes to the bowling alley, managed by Sam Weiss (Kevin Corrigan), where he tells her she’s one of the best people he’s known, and he’s sure she’ll do the right thing.
