Episode Notes
The glyph/code spells out WEISS.

The closed captioning and Fox recaps refer to Olivia's doppelganger as "Bolivia" for the sake of convenience. Presumably it's a shortened version of "Bad Olivia."



Episode Quotes
The Secretary: Hello, Son. I've imagined this moment so many times. I can't imagine how strange it must be for you.
Peter: I've seen the strange. But this... this is something else.

Olivia: Walter, can you walk?
Walter: I can dance if you like. They have absolutely fabulous drugs here, Olivia.

The Secretary: When our universes first it caused soft spots on the other side. But it was much worse here. The laws of physics were turned into mere suggestions. But I'm hoping you can change all that.
Peter: I don't know what you heard about me. But.. changing the laws of physics might be slightly above my abilities.

Bolivia: What's she like?
Peter: Who?
Bolivia: Me.
Peter: She's a lot like you. Darker in the eyes, maybe. She's always trying to make up for something. Right some imaginary wrong. Haunted, I guess. (pauses) Maybe she's nothing like you at all.

Olivia: Peter... you don't belong here.
Peter: No, I don't belong here. But I don't belong there, either.
Olivia: Yes, you do. I have thought of a hundred reasons... why you should come back. To--to fight the shapeshifters, to take care of Walter, to--to save the world. But in the end... you have to come back. Because you belong with me.

William Bell: Hello, Peter. I'm William Bell. Haven't seen you in many years. You're holding up better than I would have thought.
Peter: What's a little universe hoping between friends?
William Bell: That's not what I meant.

Walter: I never should have doubted you.
William Bell: It's okay, Walter. You always were as stubborn as a donkey with a nail in its head.

Walter: Peter... you are back now, aren't you? You're-you're not leaving again?
Peter: I'm trying to see this your way, Walter. I can't. But... you did cross universes twice to save my life. So that's gotta count for something, right?
Walter: Thank you, Peter. (Peter walks away) My son.
