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?
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

"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?

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

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."
Has he started to remember? Would new events bring those memories back?
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.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I have met people who have dim recollections of their childhood, as if puberty was a kink in the hose of their life.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
