Fringe — Episode 15 (Season 2): “Peter”

Most of this episode takes place back in 1985, where Walter Bishop has invented a “window” that lets him see into the other universe. At that point, he has no idea of how to cross between universes other than, scientifically, it is probably a “very bad idea.”

Meanwhile, young Peter is dying of an unnamed genetic wasting disease. Walter is unable to develop a cure, but other universe Walter is hard at work one on. Our Walter is using his window to watch him, hoping he’ll develop a cure in time to save Peter. Sadly, no cure is found in time and Peter dies in his father’s arms.

Other Peter is still alive, though still very sick, and other Walter remains hard at work on a cure. Miraculously, he discovers one, but a poorly timed visit by one of the Observers causes him to miss it. Our Walter notices, however, and is able to use what he saw to produce the cure. It is too late for his Peter, but he resolves to find a way into the other universe to save that Peter.

Walter heads to the lake and sets up the apparatus he has developed to open a gate to the other universe. His co-worker Dr. Warren and Nina Sharp arrive to talk him out of it, but he can’t be dissuaded. He opens the gate and walks through, the gate snapping shut behind him. Unfortunately, Nina was still trying to hold him back, and her arm was injured by the dimensional gate.

In the other universe, Walter arrives at the lake house and convinces his other wife (who believes that he is her Walter) that he has found a cure, but has to get Peter back to his lab immediately. Peter is bundled up, and he and Walter head out. Walter takes Peter across the lake to the gate, which Walter reopens and they enter our universe. As they arrive, the ice over the lake cracks beneath their feet, and they fall into the freezing water. As fate would have it, the Observer is there and rescues them. He tells Walter that Peter is very important and must live. He then gets out of the car and walks away. Walter takes Peter to his lab and gives him the cure, which seems to help. Unexpectedly, his wife arrives looking for him, and is overcome with emotion when she spots other Peter. She makes it clear to Walter that, despite his original intention, he will not be returning Peter back to the other universe.
