This Excellent Fringe Ep shows how Peter, still confused after Walter brought him back to the "Blue" verse, is trying to make sense of the world.
Peter thinks his home is on the bottom of Reiden Lake. This episode starts, in 1985, with him trying to get back to "The World under the Lake."
Walter is desperately trying to find a way to get Peter back home. And so his Cortexiphan experiments with Children, including one Olivia Dunham, are at a critical juncture.
But in the middle of this, Elizabeth is at Reiden Lake with Peter ALL THE TIME - And you can tell, she's losing it. Her hair is not brushed, she has to look after Peter every minute of every day - Or else he'll drop a rock into Reiden Lake and try to follow it to the bottom where he thinks his "real mother and father are."
The Ironic thing of course, is he's right! Those ARE not his "real" parents-Green Lantern and Arrow SHOULD be Red - In The "Red" 'Verse! But Elizabeth has to suck it all in and LIE to Peter, or else certain calamitous events would ensue.
Meanwhile, in the "Red" 'Verse, "Walternate" and "Elizabethernate" are on the verse of eating each other's heads off-Walternate has taken to Drinking his problems away, while telling his Elizabeth his new Theories on where Peter is and he pulls out the wildest imaginations- A Man got Facial Surgery. Aliens took Peter. Clones. He just does not know what happened. But his Elizabeth is stronger than the Blue Verse Elizabeth, and she holds Walternate Together. And she supports Walternate, who is not the easiest person to live with at that point.
This episode shows these conflicts with great acting from John Noble as both Walter and Walternate and Orla Brady who plays the forlorn Elizabeth in Two Universes.
The Child versions of Peter and Olivia, played by Chandler Canterbury and Karley Scott Collins respectively, are great Child representations of these people who we know as Peter and Olivia.
This episode shows clearly the incident where Olivia makes a fire and almost kills another child - Also her budding talents in moving herself between universes, which is a way to get away from her tortuous Stepfather.
Of course it is a Soap Opera, but without this ep, none of these things are ever explained. I like that the exposition of these events takes place at the time they took place, rather than having the older actors try to explain and expound on it.
It's a hard Episode to swallow, we have known about the events shown here, by inference earlier in S2 and S3. Here, we have a first hand account of events that are important to the Fringeline of seasons 1-3.
And we have a treat in this episode in the form of Water's assistant at the Day-Care Centre - Ashley, played by the great Sarah-Jane Redmond, who was "Lucy Butler" in the Chris Carter Fox Series "MillenniuM" - Walter! Don't you know WHO you got workin for you! Watch Out! It's the Evil Lucy Butler!
