"She is your Olivia."
Boom. With those four words, the Fringe-verse(s) got just a little bit more awesome Friday night as The Observer informed Peter that he was, in fact, sharing the same space with the Liv he thought he'd lost. Turns out, our Bishop boy wasn't completely erased from his timeline because those he left behind love him too much. How about that? Fringe's soft gooey center is all about love, not some viscous shapeshifting residue developed by Massive Dynamic.
Seconds after the closing credits, a still-tearful Watercooler reached out to executive producer Joel Wyman — who directed and co-wrote the episode — to find out if this momentous hour was as close to his heart as it is likely to remain in those of devoted Fringephiles. "It's a story that was very important to me, and directing it allowed me to make sure that every shot and nuance was realized the way I imagined it as I was writing it with Graham Roland," Wyman told TV Guide Magazine exclusively. "It's an emotional episode [and] I knew it would be important to fans because it features so much Peter and Olivia...getting it just right was my biggest concern."
So if this is the real Peter and the real Olivia, we're guessing that something huge has to happen to get all of the other players back in place. Another reset? A universe-collapsing catastrophe? A fatality?
Fingers crossed it's something hugely romantic like the episode's closing shot instead of the alternative. Or, should we saw Walternative?
