Peter is still in shock—he doesn't know what he wants—the dork.
I really loved the instant connection between Peter and his mom. Given how attached tiny!Peter was to her, it's completely understandable that he'd want to go home and see her again. (Even if his real dad is kind of a douche.) And I don't think he made the decision to return to his original universe lightly. He needs and deserves answers about his origins, which he just couldn't get in our world. I also think that he's seen the potential in our Walter to become someone like Walternate, and wants to assess Bad Dad's state of mind for himself before deciding what to do about it.
While I did enjoy the Alt Team's badassery and seeing Charlie again (and Olivia's red hair), I wouldn't want to live in that universe. It seems really dangerous and dystopian.
Also, I'm not loving the ongoing red-shirt status of the Cortexiphan subjects. We keep hearing that Olivia is more specialer than the other test subjects because of her light switch ability and her shimmer vision, but the three we saw in this episode had some pretty kickin' powers of their own. And yet, they all got killed off. If they keep that up, they're going to run out of Cortexiphan kids pretty quick.
