I love that you expanded on what we got in that episode.

as Astrid tries to paste together the pieces of the mess Olivia and Walter have made.

I liked this. It was both of their faults and really Astrid is the only one blameless in all of this. I like how you caught onto the "me" in her question to Walter too, and how Olivia felt the guilt sink even deeper. I was a bit surprised in that episode that neither Astrid nor Olivia had been there before for Walter but I guess Walter really wanted to be able to do it himself.

I like how you emphasized the "Peter will come back" mantra, how it was a statement she clung to even as it became meaningless to her.

The ending sentence was perfect. Thanks again for sharing this...gosh, I'm so excited to see how it plays out tonight (and wishing I was still on the East Coast because being three hours behind is annoying at times like this).

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it (and especially that ending sentence worked!).

See, I figure that Walter's meltdown happened quickly, that everything seemed all right, and Olivia and especially Astrid left him alone, and then all of a sudden he wouldn't.

Er... I won't gloat over just having seen the episode then. Sorry that you're behind the rest.

That last line just got me. Damn. Especially in light of last night's shenanigans.
