How does Walternate find out where Peter disappeared to?
Because fucking OLIVIA DUNHAM FUCKING TOLD HIM.
Yep. Damn.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I could see Peter choosing to forget. We see him choose to accept this world. Believing and forgetting would complete the mental self-preservation process.

Has he started to remember? Would new events bring those memories back?
It would be interesting to see if Olivia and Peter start remembering that they'd met before.

Oh, and given the promises that Mrs. Walter made to Peter - what drove her to suicide? Was the pressure of pretending that she still had her son when really she was mourning his loss too much for her at the end?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think it was probably despair at what her husband had become.

Does anyone remember (or did they ever say) how old Peter was when that happened?

I don't think they've explicitly said an age, but it happened in 1985 and I think they're playing both Peter and Olivia at a current age of 32 (although I could be making that up). Of course that totally doesn't jive with the kids we just saw, but it does come closer to the Cortexiphan trials starting when Olivia was 3.
Oh, we need a screen cap of Peter's headstone! That'll tell us.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Fringe wiki doesn't seem to know.

I wasn't making it up. I suspect they just couldn't tell the story they wanted to tell with 6-7 yr old actors.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Those are interesting questions, that hopefully they will look into. Peter doesn't even remember being sick, right? And he was sick in both universes, so I'm guessing he doesn't remember anything in his life before a certain point.
Oh, and given the promises that Mrs. Walter made to Peter - what drove her to suicide? Was the pressure of pretending that she still had her son when really she was mourning his loss too much for her at the end?
I'm hoping it had more to do with the drinking we saw her begin at the end of the episode than the deliberate suicide that Peter seemed to think it was.
