Bubbles! I mean, Henry! Nice to see him again, though now I'm worried about his safety since he knows so much.
What was the business with the blood sample at the end, just keeping the kid out of the system?
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Evidence the kid was Peter's, just in case there was a question?
I pretty much knew that had to be an inside job, because they hadn't done anything to date to set up any internal political opponents for Walternate. And you don't start that sort of plotline with a big gun like kidnapping his son.
To be honest, though, I did wonder if somehow Marilyn was in on it. Just a little bit.
I do like that Link and Charlie know about the switch now, and are starting to wonder about what else Walternate isn't telling them.
That said, and it was a suspenseful episode, I am SO TIRED of Monstrous Pregnancies in sci-fi shows. Can we just stop those now? Please?

I'm assuming the blood test was to make sure the baby (did we get a name?) had the right midi-chlorians to power the universe-destroying machine....

All is well that ends in pizza.
That got me thinking, what if the universe destroying machine is like the Genesis Device? It's really a creation thingy, but used for the wrong purposes, "it would destroy such life in favor of its new matrix."

God, yes. The tangle of loyalties and responsibilities is delicious.

Surely Walternate could run whatever tests he wanted openly. That's what I don't get - why the cloak and dagger?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Isn't the universe-destroying machine primarily a universe-saving machine? I mean, isn't that what Walternate's going to use it for? It's just that only one universe will survive?

I'm thinking that Walternate and Post-Children-of-Earth Captain Jack Harkness are going to have a lot to discuss.

I'm not sure whether destroying one universe is the byproduct of saving the other, or the other way around, or if it matters which it is. I'm hoping that what Olivia told the other Broyles is right and both universes can be saved somehow.

But Walternate's primary mission is to save his universe. At any cost. Why would he want to destroy the other universe for no other benefit?
