Actress Jill Scott has booked a guest role on Fringe in season 5, as a character who Olivia will seek out for assistance.

EW reports that Scott will appear as Simone, an “oracle-like person” who is incredibly intuitive.

Olivia will seek out Simone’s assistance in the first part of the season, maybe for help accessing her powers – or to reach clarity about something else. But since Olivia isn’t exactly known for her spirituality, we’re going to go with the former theory.

Fringe‘s first episode saw Etta, Peter, Walter and Astrid rescue Olivia from her ambering, leading to a heartwarming reunion – but it wasn’t all positive, as Walter was kidnapped and tortured by an Observer and once again lost pieces of his memory.

In the second episode of season 5, the Fringe team will travel to Walter’s old lab in Boston, which he had ambered before he ambered himself and which is under Observer control. There they find a video tape, with instructions left by the Walter of 2015 to his future self.

The episode, entitled “In Absentia,” airs at 9/8c on Fox. If you can’t wait, several sneak peeks have been released showing how Peter and Olivia first lost Etta, as well as Walter’s decision to return to the lab, and the team’s arrival.
