Put together a bag lady, a bunch of deadly herbs, and a dysfunctional social worker and there is bound to be trouble in the end. Of course, endings are Fringe's specialty. She comes from a long line of midwives. This lineage is not known for midwifery during birth, however. It is known for midwifery in death. Vivien Feryn has no way of knowing that her career in social work will lead her to the door of an eccentric herbalist. Actually, it is probably a good thing, as she needs some healing herself. She can't quite handle the "social" aspect of her work.or private life for that matter. A childhood trauma haunts her. Her emotional distance from the world will be short lived though, as Fringe needs to find a replacement fast, and she decides on Vivien. Can the unsuspecting Vivien handle endings as well as Fringe, or will there be a midwife crisis in the community?
