I think it was in the first one; it’s Season 1 for sure (that’s the one I have).

Also, I agree with the comments regarding the hotness of Bodyguard Olivia (GlamLivia?), but think the producers missed a beat by not having a jazz band playing at the fundraiser. A woman that hot, and that dangerous, needs jazz. It’s a rule.

I think you need to watch _Brown Betty_ at least once a week then 😛 That woman knows her way around a tube of lipstick, and Jazz piano Broyles!

_Brown Betty_ is the one episode of Fringe that never gets deleted off of my TiVo.
