I didn't watch last night's episode yet (I save it for Friday night viewing with Supernatural).

About Peter, yes, Christy you are correct that the Peter on the show is the Peter from the other dimension. And I am pretty sure you are also correct about original Peter dying as a child from some illness. I definitely remember Walter talking about Peter being deathly ill as a child, I just can't remember what his affliction was. Walter talked about Peter basically dying from the illness and then glossing over it that he miraculously "recovered." Obviously, from the tombstone, it seems that Peter did die of that disease and Walter went to the other side to fetch replacement Peter.

I think Walter's tale of the accident seems like it is true that they both were saved by the Observer. But the question for me is did that accident happen with original Peter or with replacement Peter? I am not sure how it falls in the time line yet.

Yes, that's been shown to us, first by the tombstone and by the glow around Peter. The Peter we see was taken from the other dimension by Walter using the device he invented after his Peter from our dimension died, most likely by illness. The car accident that the observer interceded in was probably connected to that and in this episode they gave a reason for them being able to intercede rather than just watch and that is if they are doing so to correct something that should have happened but didn't. In this case, the girl should have died so they tried to kill her. In Peter's case, the observer might have made an error that caused the accident and had to intercede to save Peter. But he somehow died and Walter found a way to get the Peter from the other dimension.

As a side note, the observer who saved the girl in this episode was played by Peter Woodward, son of the late actor form the Wiker Man who died recently. I was also the technomage in Crusade... He plays good strange otherworldly characters.
