Trivia
Henry is seen reading a comic strip called "Opus the Peahen" drawn by Berkeley Breathed. Breathed is a real, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, whose real strips featuring the character Opus the Penguin ran (under several different titles) from the early 1980s until 2008. The presence of this strip in the Alternate Universe highlights several differences between "our" world and theirs: in ours, the Opus character is a male penguin, while in theirs, she is a female peahen; in ours, Breathed no longer draws a comic strip, while in theirs, he apparently still does. The "peahen" strip was drawn especially for the show by Breathed himself.

Goofs
When Fauxlivia escapes from the makeshift lab, she is supposedly barefoot. Several times while she is staggering around Chinatown, you can see that she is wearing some kind of skin-colored cloth/rubber shoes on her feet.

In the parallel universe, Olivia is submitted to an EPV test since her sister died during the delivery of her baby. When she returns to her apartment, she is abducted and taken to a facility where she is submitted to a procedure that accelerates her pregnancy. Meanwhile the Fringe Division seeks her out while her mother Marilyn is informed that Olivia's EPV was confirmed.

"Bloodline" is a tense episode in the parallel universe. It is good to see Henry again and the partnership of Charles and Lincoln. However the story and the eminence grise behind Olivia's abduction are absolutely predicable. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Bloodline"
