As the investigation continues, Agent Lee learns of how amber was used to quarantine areas of the parallel universe to protect it from singularities, but with the introduction of the bridge through The Machine, these areas are healing themselves, allowing the amber to be removed. In one such region, two workers discover nearly two dozen bodies in various states of decay in a church, and these are quickly identified as the missing criminals. The Fringe division discover telltale signs of shapeshifter extraction marks, though more advanced than the means used by the initial models created by Walternate (Walter's doppelganger). Fringe division hears of another attack on a criminal; Colonel Broyles ([[Lance Reddick]]) initially denies Agent Lee's suggestion of a manhunt but eventually relents when both Captain Lee and Fauxlivia agree. The team finds and captures the shapeshifter. They learn he calls himself Canaan, and was the first prototype of the new type of shapeshifter created by David Robert Jones, though ultimately cast aside. Canaan struggles with an identity crisis, feeling alone and rejected, having been promised by Jones to be fixed, but refuses to divulge any information on Jones' location or plans. |

Unknown to the rest of Fringe, Broyles contacts the Nina Sharp ([[Blair Brown]]) of the parallel universe, who arranges for a sniper near the building where Canaan is being held. As the Fringe team prepares to escort Canaan to headquarters, the sniper attempts to kill him. Fauxlivia is able to kill the shooter while keeping Canaan safe, but Captain Lee has taken a bullet and is rushed to a hospital. Once secured, Agent Lee implores Canaan to help Fringe, noting how his life is not safe even from Jones. Canaan agrees, and takes on the appearance of the sniper, allowing him to enter the secured facility that Nina had hidden herself in. Believing that Canaan is the sniper, Nina lets down her guard, allowing Canaan to override the facility's security controls for Fringe to raid the site. Nina and several others are captured, and Agent Lee finds that the equipment in the facility can allow them to track down all the other shapeshifters in the area. As they are clearing out the building, they come to learn that Captain Lee's wound was fatal and he has died, shattering Fauxlivia's emotions. |

Agent Lee takes Canaan across the bridge back to the prime universe, where Walter and Peter Bishop ([[Joshua Jackson]]) promise to help study and fix him.

The episode takes its title from the song "[[Everything in Its Right Place]]" by English rock band [[Radiohead]]. When Lincoln Lee of the main universe references [[Batman]] in the context of the vigilante attacks in the alternate universe, his double and the alternate Olivia are confused. He goes on to explain the concept—a billionaire playboy dressing up in a cape to fight crime—and the alternate Fringe agents conclude that their equivalent is a character called M.a.n.t.i.s. This is in direct conflict with the [http://www.fringetelevision.com/2010/05/alternate-fringe-comic-books-from-over.html comic covers] seen in "[[Over There (Fringe)|Over There part 2]]", one of which depicts Batman himself and another of which depicts the Batman symbol. Differences in comics between universes were also referenced in "[[Subject 13 (Fringe)|Subject 13]]", in which young Peter cites that the [[Hal Jordan|Red Lantern]] isn't supposed to be green; this reference is in agreement with the comic covers, one of which depicts Hal Jordan and [[Oliver Queen]] using the names [[Red Lantern Corps|Red Lantern]] and [[Roy Harper (comics)|Red Arrow]], respectively. |

Cory Barker of [[TV.com]] named "Everything in Its Right Place" the 9th best of the series, saying, "this episode was interested in those incremental distinctions in personality—only here, Lincoln was the focus. I have my issues with Season 4 overall, but the development of Lincoln, in all versions, often paid great dividends for the show."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tv.com/news/looking-back-at-fringes-five-seasons-the-top-20-episodes-30426/|title=Looking Back at Fringe's Five Seasons: The Top 20 Episodes|first=Cory|last=Barker|publisher=TV.com|date=January 18, 2013|access-date=January 25, 2013}}</ref> |
