Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire

Meanwhile, back at Drug Daycare, the police are finally getting involved in the search for two missing children. Good thing they waited until it was dark out before calling the police.

And then Peter and Olivia come strolling up, and Elizabeth runs and embraces Peter, who keeps staring at a smiling Olivia, and these two are clearly smitten. Now forget each other!

Inside the daycare, Ashley tells Olivia that her stepfather's on her way. This doesn't exactly fill Olivia with relief, and she decides she wants to talk to Dr. Walter. Ashley says she can do that tomorrow, but Olivia says she wants to talk to him NOW and starts to get angry and despite the fact that Olivia just about incinerated this place Ashley ARGUES with her about it. But Olivia runs past her and into Walter's office, where she tells a surprised Walter that her stepfather gave her the black eye, and that's when she went to the other universe, which is where she saw the blimps in the sky, just like he said she would. She hands over her sketchbook to show him. "Can you make him stop hitting me? Please?" she asks Her face is a crumpled tear-stained mess -- nice work by the young actress -- that breaks your heart, even more so when we hear "Olive? What's wrong?" from behind her, and there's Walter behind her, and there's no one sitting at the desk. She looks quite confused.

And then later, Walter walks her out into the hallway, where her douchebag stepfather is pacing. He tells Walter that he hopes their "little princess" wasn't too much trouble, and he holds his hand out to Olivia, saying he was worried sick. Olivia glares at him.

Before the stepfather can take her, though, Walter warns him that Olivia is very special, and if he does anything to hurt her or frighten her or make her uncomfortable in any way, Walter's going to tell Social Services -- but he's also got certain government friends who would make sure he'd face "significant troubles." That seems to wipe the smirk off stepdaddy's face.
