Fanon: the girl who had the asthma attack is the girl who caught the firefly.
This is what I was thinking the entire time, it fits so nicely!
I did like White Tulip more individually, but they sort of dropped the ball immediately after on having it really mean anything, so this one may end up having more impact on the show through Walter's development. Which I will like. :D
*sporfles at "Walter's the only one with feelings!" tag*
And I meant to come back to your other post and flail uselessly about how I still don't know what to think, re. Peter and Peter/Olivia. Because I don't ship it, but what they're doing with both of them is arguably the most interesting thing they've ever done with them? (I don't think they've done much at all before now.)
Since all signs point to Peter continuing to play a larger part in all of the show, while I'll never stop clinging like mad to Olivia the lonely superhero who may save both universes with her MAGICAL SCIENCE BRAIN (though please not in a way that sucks, show!), if Peter steps up to do more, I want that in to understand him beyond having a nice smile. I want it not to be awful. It was nice that he had that line. And it's a shame Elizabeth Bishop hasn't shown up again to help out some more with this.
I'm also feeling a tiny bit more empathy for Peter now, given that Olivia has been nearly in his place with Charlie, and that he didn't attempt to keep her in the dark. None of which means she needs to forgive, or that it's ok, because what an incredibly harsh way, telling her that Altlivia smiled more. And he didn't notice. But I can see can see how much of a relief it would be to think that they'd have some time to take it easy and get to know each other, and in the process, he overlooked that it was never really her at all. Because I don't think he ever did know Olivia well, and it has to sting to know that and that he picked someone she wasn't. It's nothing like the enormous sympathy and desire to hug Olivia I have ALL THE TIME RIGHT NOW, but something I can sort of understand.
