274. FRINGE
Charlie’s been watching her for years. He watched her go from an extremely focused agent, intent only on the job, to a woman in love, easily distracted by her lover. Charlie had hoped to be the one who helped Olivia break out of her shell, to be the man she loved, but that hadn’t happened. John Scott had been the one who had succeeded.
Charlie had never liked him, thought him too slick and too self-involved to be a good match for her. Olivia had, though, so he’d given John the benefit of the doubt. Now he wishes he hadn’t.
275. FRINGE
Astrid thinks they are all crazy, not just Dr. Bishop. Dr. Bishop’s craziness is easily seen by everyone, while his son is more able to hide his as quirks. If someone pays attention the way she does, you can see in Peter’s eyes that his hold on his sanity is more tenuous on some days.
Agent Dunham walks a fine line. Astrid saw the havoc the death of her boyfriend caused in her life. She's obsessed with finding the answers as to why he betrayed her and their country. Even Charlie Francis seems to have issues, all revolving around Olivia.
