Olivia Dunham is having hallucinations, like those in The Dreamscape

Olivia has been seeing John Scott, as well as receiving phone calls and emails from him. Walter thinks that this is John's repressed memories expelling themselves from Olivia's mind. Olivia does have some of John's consciousness, but this is not what causes her to see him; she is having hallucinations.

The phone call Olivia received from John was not real, but a hallucination.

  • The FBI could not trace the call, and they said she had not received one, and the same logic could be used to infer that the emails are not real either.

Olivia is only hallucinating when she sees John.

  • No one else sees him
  • He disappears whenever Olivia is distracted by something/someone else

Olivia hallucinated that Mark Young's mounted butterflies moved.

  • They obviously did not really move because they were dead
  • Charlie did not see them move
  • They stopped moving when Charlie distracted her

Did Olivia turn off the lights to the bomb in ABILITY or did Peter?

  • Peter was the one who rigged the first test light box to go off and never explains how he did it.
    • He set the lights to go off at certain times electronically
  • The lights on the bomb do not go off until Peter comes back from the elevator and stands behind Olivia.

The person/organization behind The Pattern is causing Olivia's hallucinations

Hallucinations are used by the person/organization behind The Pattern (as with Mark Young and the Latino man), usually as a weapon. The hallucinations distract Olivia from her work concerning The Pattern, and the people behind The Pattern are using the hallucinations to stop her from finding out more about The Pattern.

Olivia Dunham's Abilities

Olivia's recovery in the hospital was so speedy because of her ability.

  • She recovered from being pronounced legally dead which is miraculous.
  • She woke in a trance-like state

Olivia's ability encompasses a great number of mind/body amplifications ie. clairvoyance, clairaudience, heightened senses etc. though in even distribution.

Olivia's hallucinations provide insight into to the episode's action.
