I think that he just remembered. I started to suspect when Walter told the coin story and Peter didn't remember.
That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. WALTER.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Walter may not even have known that he was alternate!Peter until the coin story.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Walter mentioned the illness much earlier in the season, which is why I thought it was clone!Peter until tonight. I think he knows and forgets often.

I'm with sj. I think there are times when it's seemed like he's known, but this is not the first time Peter hasn't remembered something about his childhood. I'm so glad they went there! Oh, crazy show.
I also love that they totally explained why all the weird shit was happening around the Boston area! THANKS A LOT, MASSIVE DYNAMIC.
Also, William Bell is Spock. It all makes sense now.

For a second, I thought that we would find out that William Bell was alternate!Walter.

But Peter was stolen from Alternate!Walter. So if Alternate!Walter is still alive, boy is he pissed at our Walter.
Only... Note that the tabloid headline is "Obamas move into White House". So the whole show has taken place in a Universe in which Obama is NOT President? The show's viewpoint reality is an alternate universe to whom WE are the weird other world? I'm probably reading too much into one headline.

It was "Obamas Move Into New White House", implying something happened to the old one. Something to do with the fires and destruction Olivia was seeing in her deja vus, perhaps.
And they ended in the Twin Towers.
So Bell is not hanging out in our universe.

Oh man! I didn't even think of that. Whoa.
Note that the tabloid headline is "Obamas move into White House".
Actually, the headline read, "Obamas move into new White House." Did the old White House blow up or something? Also, those were the Twin Towers, right? Signifying that that is the alternate reality? Oh, visual shorthand borne out of tragedy.

Ah. OK. Totally misread that one. Definitely not our reality.

My question is, there have to be others, right? They mentioned a multiverse before; this can't be the only alternate reality. The existence of one alternate reality implies the existence of infinite alternate realities.
