“Olivia’s having a really difficult time and Peter actually manages to soothe her with his touch. And there’s a suggestion that, consciously—maybe not—but unconsciously, he’s sort of aware of an ability to do that. And he checks with his father before reaching out, and his father encourages him to help her. And he does. Simply by touching her.” - Akiva Goldsman, 1x17 “Bad Dreams” Commentary
