After Walter was institutionalized, Peter moved to Allston with his mother because she could not afford the mortgage of their house in Cambridge. They didn't speak for the next 17 years, during the time that Walter was in the mental facility, until his hand was practically forced by the FBI agent [[Olivia Dunham]] who needed his help to get in touch with Walter, the only one who could help with her investigations on fringe science cases.
