I imagine the conversation will go a lot like:
You stole my son!
I had to! He was going to die. You had the cure but you missed it. I saved him!!
You stole my son! ARRRGHGHGHGH!!!!

Walternate is a total dick though. Whatever happened to him in the years that Peter was gone has made him a cold and vengeful monster. So much so he's willing to plug his own son into a machine that will destroy the world.
Of course you realize that Walternate is going to have Olivia so freaked out, and stressed, and scared, that she's just going to trigger her powers and cross over in the first ep of season 3. 
which will then of course turn into...
I'm the real Olivia, no I'M the real Olivia
and then I will be sad.
I finally watched the finale on Hulu. I'm totally in love with this show right now, and can't wait for season 3
I'd called Walternate being a villain in the series as soon as you found out that Peter was from the other side. It's weird that I called that, but didn't see the Olivia swap coming, even though it was telegraphed from a mile away.
Caught up on the finale last night. Good episode.
I doubt they would go this route but the thought occurred to me that it might be a cool twist....

Walternate totally fucks up Olivia. Drives her insane (I would go insane in that kind of captivity) and she basically turns villain herself. Meanwhile Olivianate(?) slowly comes around to seeing our side as the positive one, stops working against them and rather with them. We've got a team switch going on and major conflict and story line could be built out of that. Just a poorly worded speculation on how it could turn out.
I like and dislike that idea. First of all it generally is a pretty cool idea and definitely a twist I've never seen. I thought, after seeing the episode, that it was likely that Olivianate will turn good based on a few elements. 1) Walternate has been consitantly lying to them about the other side. While Walter may be responsible for the collapse of their universe he certainly isn't maliciously trying to destroy it. Olivianate will catch on fairly quickly that her doppleganger is just as dedicated to helping people as she is. 2) Olivanate is going to soon meet Oliva's sister and niece. Since Olivianate's sister died when she was very young it's bound to be an emotional moment for her.
The idea that our Oliva might turn evil is also a very interesting idea and would definitely bring the story full circle in a creative way. The only downside about that is it effectively undoes the character of Oliva and resets everything to status quo. If we have to wait another full season for Olivia and Peter to have a fling, after they made such progress in the finale, I'm going to have a coniption. Plus we'll always know that Olivianate isn't Oliva, even if she replaces her on the series. It's like being flashed the bird by the show's writers.

Oh man I have to wait until Tuesday for the finale! All your spoiler tags are looking at me, burning into my very soul.
