Peter's dream in the coda, that Walter is clearly disturbed by, is a memory of when Walter actually "stole" him from the other universe.

1. If it is a memory, the poster on the wall proves that it takes place in the other universe (Challenger 11 never existed, due to the Challenger 10 disaster). --UrPQ31
2. The date on the poster places this event after June 28, 1984. (Potentially in 1985, which is the date shown on the gravestone for Peter Bishop in (There's More Than One Of Everything)). --UrPQ31
3. Walter is disturbed when Peter was talking in his sleep during the dream because of the guilt he feels for "stealing" this Peter.--UrPQ31

The color red was significant to the message Olivia decoded from the business cards. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Morcae (talk • contribs) .

1. When viewed as a whole, there is nothing mysterious about the steps Sam Weiss instructed Olivia to take. The instruction to take cards from people wearing red could simply be a way to limit the activity -- he could have just as easily had her take cards from people with brown hair or glasses. Once she had enough cards, when she circled "random" letters, it would be easy for her subliminal mind to select the letters in the message she wanted to hear. In this case, "You're Gonna Be Fine" -- her partner's first reassuring words to her. That red was featured likely just followed the pattern of the rest of the episode, and was not necessarily significant to the activity itself. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Morcae (talk • contribs) .
