Season 1 when Sanford Harris is trying to shut down Fringe division or whatever his horribleness did. I know Astrid is Olivia's assistant in Season 1 but it always baffled me that they had someone with a linguistics background working with Walter and not someone in a science one. Astrid will be featured later in the story.
I own nothing
"Here sign this." says Charlie as he hands Olivia a card that reads Good Luck and on the inside there are lots of signatures.
"Who's this for?" asks Olivia as she signs.
"You don't know?" says Charlie and Olivia gives him a blank stare
"You should since it's for Astrid" and now Olivia is confused.
"She's transferring to D.C.…something in linguistics I believe"
"When did this happen?" asks Olivia now gathering up her stuff getting ready to leave.
"Last night. Got the card this morning. Would you mind giving this to Broyles as you go speak to him about this."
Charlie hands Olivia the card and she walks to Broyles office and walks in not noticing that Harris is sitting there.
"Dunham, we were just about to call you in here" says Broyles and she turns and sees Harris there with a smug smile on her face.
"Why wasn't I told about this? I find it hard to believe that Astrid wouldn't tell me about this."
"No, I saw an opening for this and I suggested Agent Farnsworth and what do you know she got the job" says Harris
"Of course you did" says Olivia
"Look this isn't going to work. Do the Bishops know? Walter is not going to like working with someone new. And who knows who will want to work with Walter willing." Harris gets up and walks over to Olivia.
"Agent Dunham, we can find someone more qualified than Agent Farnsworth that has a background in chemistry, biology, or whatever. Also Agent Farnsworth can be using what she has to her full potential."
Olivia now clearly fed up with Harris turns to Broyles
"Don't expect us to have our same timely results."
Olivia sweeps out of the office and mentally prepares herself to tell the Bishops.
"How important can one person be" says Harris as he walks out of the office.
"Apparently more than you care to understand" says Broyles to an empty office.
At Harvard
"Where is it?!" shouts Walter
"I don't know. Just wait till Astrid gets here, she probably knows where you last left it." responds Peter.
"Astro would be here by now. Have you called her? What if she's sick? Or worse…hungry?"
"Walter... fine I'll call her." Peter pulls out his phone and sees Olivia walk in the lab carrying a card.
"Who's the card for" he asks while calling Astrid.
"Astrid"
Peter hangs up now worried.
"Is she sick…I can't believe Walter was right"
"No she's transferring"
"Who's transferring" asks Walter having heard the last part of the conversation.
"Walter, why don't you have a seat."
After hearing what happened, Walter races to get his jacket and starts to leave the lab.
"Walter where are you going?" asks Peter
"To the airport. I obviously can't drive and I have to say goodbye to Agent Farnsworth."
"Walter, she's already on a plane and probably already in D.C. You can send her something if you want when I send this card." says Olivia
Walter clearly upset walks towards his office.
"Fine. But until I find my model train set I'm not doing anything." He says as he slams the office door.
"This isn't going to work is it" says Peter
"Nope."
