I brought this up the other page, but are you convinced by peter not knowing she's not Olivia? I mean I know she looks the same (except her hair is slightly different), but she doesn't act like Olivia, it is blatantly obvious to the viewer that she isn't Olivia. Even if you didn't know they switched you would have easily have figured out she wasn't Olivia. It is obvious. How can't Walter figure it out, Astro, Peter, Broyles? I just don't buy that it is working. I know they have hints of it, but it's just not believable.

First off, it isn't like they associate much with each other outside of cases. Yes, Peter and Olivia were starting to form a romantic bond but they weren't dating.

As I said in my post, Fauxlivia hit Peter with sex to distract him and it is working.

Although I think he has a suspicion. You have to remember Olivia was only out of his sight for a few seconds. Hard to think she could be switched that fast.

On one hand, I do find it believable on the other hand, there are too many differences between our world and her world and I think she would have screwed up big by now. 1 book on pop references isn't enough to get caught up to our world.

You just have to suspend belief on this issue just like we have to suspend belief that they weren't already testing all sensitive employees for mercury blood.
