While I was sure (and I'm sure many of you were, too) that Walter would reveal the secret to Peter last week, he chose not to, burning the tell-all letter instead. Of course, FOX's promo department didn't keep us hanging long regarding when (and if) Peter would find out. He does next week!, they hastened to tell us not a minute after "White Tulip" completed.
"I'm not from here, am I?" Peter utters in the promo, making the understatement of the week. Of course, how he finds out was still left up in the air, though I don't think Walter tells him. No, I think that it's Thomas Newton, the shapeshifting soldier from the Other Side, who tells him instead. After all, Newton's playing a kind of major role in the episode. Just look at the press release!
NEWTON AND SHAPE-SHIFTERS RETURN ON AN ALL-NEW “FRINGE”
THURSDAY, APRIL 22, ON FOXWhen two teenagers on a date turn up “dead” at an abandoned warehouse with the three puncture wounds to the soft palate – a trademark of the shape-shifters – the Fringe team investigates the evidence as well as the motives of mastermind Newton. Upon discovering a shape-shifting embryo, Walter returns to the lab to conduct further analysis, and Olivia and Peter head to Massive Dynamic for answers. Meanwhile, Peter reveals a family secret to Olivia as Walter struggles to recall what Newton knows about “building a door” in the all-new “The Man from the Other Side” episode of FRINGE airing Thursday, April 22 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (FR-218) (TV-14 L, V)

Here's the interesting part about it -- the mystery of where Peter's mother has been throughout this series is now being brought up. We saw her played by Orla Brady in "Peter," but that was in 1985. Now, as we know from the promo below, the family secret is that Peter's mother didn't die in a car crash. This makes me believe that something to do with the alternate universe caused her death. What do you think? As you mull over it, check out the promo below. Also check out some promo photos from the episode.
Could Newton be employed by the other-side Walter to bring Peter back to his original dimension?
My thoughts exactly.
