It is 9 p.m. on the East Coast, but anyone watching Fox at the moment sees a 2-2 World Series game in the bottom of the third inning, not the Fringe episode that promised fans the return of Peter Bishop.

Darn you, David Freese and your late-inning heroics in Game 6.

Fortunately, Fringe has made the best of this sports-related delay, re-editing the official promo for "Novation" to explain the mystery behind what happened to this evening's broadcast. It's funny stuff. Watch now.
