Half the Man He Used to Be

So now Fauxlivia is just going to hang around the typewriter place while the owner bitches: "That's what they do, isn't it? They make you wait for 'em. I've been waiting for seven years. Your kind isn't so good at keeping promises. But I guess you've got it all under control." Fauxlivia ignores him and flips open her computer, only to discover Peter's name already entered in the password box. Angrily, she slams the laptop shut. Hey, those special Mac/Windows combo laptops aren't cheap, you know!

Then an aerial shot of the Statue of Liberty flips us over into the other universe, where Col. Broyles is arriving at Liberty Island to meet with Walternate, who's got Fauxlivia's typewritten message in his hands as he talks to alt-Brandon. In addition to Walter's other evil qualities, he apparently doesn't consider the environment before printing messages received from the other universe.

Brandon notes that Fauxlivia hasn't completed her mission yet, but Walternate says they can't worry about that right now and need to provide her with an extraction point.

Brandon points out that last time they had to swap an entire steel bridge with him on it, and a grouchy Walternate tells him the principle is the same: "You simply need to narrow the harmonic field to focus on something smaller. A single person. We'll use the girl. I've gotten all we need from her and obviously they have equivalent mass," he says. Well, that may depend on whether Fauxlivia has discovered KFC's Double Down. Never mind the change in mass; she might not even want to come home.

Brandon: "Alive or dead?" Walter gets what he means right away but doesn't respond, so Brandon makes it clearer: "How do you want to send back their Olivia? Alive or dead?" Brandon says there are very valuable parts for him to study, and he would just have to replace her mass. Even Walternate seems vaguely horrified by this as he stares at Brandon.

And then we're with Col. Broyles outside Walternate's office, waiting. Dr. Giggles strolls out and weirdly smirks as he walks by: "He's ready for you," says Brandon.
