Fringe/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

* Any emotional moment involving Walter Bishop is likely to be this at least for some, partly due to the complex character interaction but mostly because of John Noble's performance.

** That scene between Walter and Peter at the end of "Grey Matters." (S02 E10)

* Walter {{spoiler|threatening Olivia's abusive douche of a stepfather.}} Considering he spent the better half of the episode performing questionable (read: [[What the Hell, Hero?|illegal and somewhat cruel]]) experiments on her, it was nice to see that he cared. It was also nice to see the dick in question looking [[Kick the Son of a Bitch|terrified.]]

* The end of 6B.

Olivia: [[When She Smiles|No.]] }}

* Four words that will move any fan of Charlie Francis to tears. "You're gonna be fine."

* A subtle one in 3x19. In the pilot episode, Peter called Olivia insane for taking large amounts of LSD to save John Scott. In this episode, he does the same thing and his only concern is that his actions may somehow harm Olivia.

** And in ''The End Of All Things'' he does it again {{spoiler|to save amber!Olivia. Only this time, he enters the mind of a dying September.}}

* Peter tells Walter that he (not Walternate) is his real Dad in 3x22. Made into a real [[Tear Jerker]] by later events.

* Any scene where Olivia is at home with her sister and niece. It's just a lovely, humanizing layer to a character that could have been a really boring, on-note hard-ass in the hands of lesser writers.

* Alone in the World when Walter is begging the boy to break it's connection with Gus so he will not die with it. Eventually he manages to get through the boy at the last possible moment and for Amber Timeline Walter he manages to save the boy this time, all while Astrid is in the back ground crying because she knows losing another boy would have destroyed Walter and that he managed to find something near absolution for Peter's death by saving Aaron.

* The pep talk Walter gives Olivia in 3x21. "I wish you could see yourself the way I see you. You have no idea how extraordinary you are."

* Astrid in "What Lies Below", refusing to abandon either Peter or Walter in a quarantined building despite having just been told that everyone in the building will be killed:

* Peter finding out in "Back to Where You've Never Been" that {{spoiler|this timeline's Walternate is not the [[Complete Monster]] that he knows from his own timeline, and is doing just as much to try to stop what's happening as "our" Walter.}}

** And at the end of the next episode, after our Walter comes to Peter to say he'll help Peter cross back over to his original timeline, Peter says: {{spoiler|"I just spent the last several days with the other Walter, and I was very surprised to learn that he is not the man that I thought he was. But I am not at all surprised to learn that you ''are''."}}

* Astrid getting Alt-Astrid coffee. She gets so excited and has the most ''adorable'' smile on her face.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13LUEqvdwDs&feature=relmfu She brings her a whole tin of coffee in 4x18.]

** Astrid's relationship with her alternate in general. She calls her "sweetie" at one point.

* Ella's ending to Walter's story in '' "Brown Betty" ''.

* The ending of ''A Short Story About Love.''

** The reason Peter's {{spoiler|[[Ret-Gone]]}} didn't take.

{{spoiler|'''September:''' There is no scientific explanation. But... I have a theory. Based on an uniquely human principle. I believe you could not be fully erased because the people who care about you would not let you go. And you... would not let them go. [[The Power of Love|I believe you call it love.]]}} }}

** Peter and Olivia's adorable [[Orbital Kiss|orbital hug and kiss]] complete with [[Big Damn Kiss|epic music.]]

* [[Shipper on Deck|"Look... there's my son and his girlfriend!"]] As if Astrid didn't already know that.

* The ending of "Letters of Transit".

*cue hug* }}

* ''"Worlds Apart".'' [[Tear Jerker|Whatever parts of the episode that didn't break your heart.]]

** {{spoiler|Lincoln is in love with Fauxlivia. How much in love? He crossed into her universe. Which isn't even healing any more. Permanently.}}

 

'''Lincoln:''' I think I've found mine. }}

** {{spoiler|Walter and Walternate bond over Peter, comfort each other and make their peace.}}

'''Walternate:''' He's smart. Noble. Kind. All the things I would have wished for him. }}

** {{spoiler|Fauxlivia telling Olivia how much she admires her and Olivia telling her to keep looking up.}}

* House hunting.

'''Olivia:''' Nursery. }}

* A lot of "Brave New World, part 2". It was that kind of episode.

** Nina's scenes with Olivia. [[You Are Better Than You Think You Are|Nina was a walking motivational poster in that episode.]]

** Walter calling Astrid by her real name and Astrid bringing him red vines.

** The [[Headbutt of Love|Headbutt Of Fatherly Love]] Walter and Peter give each other {{spoiler|when it turns out that Olivia is alright.}}

** This

'''Peter:''' No. Something has changed. This time [[You Are Not Alone|you're not alone.]] }}

 

** This scene is followed by Nina fussing over Olivia and cooking her soup.
