    Default Who chose Astrid to work for Walter?

    She appears for the first time when Walter cuts of a sample of John Scott's skin, and then she suddenly becomes Walters lab assistant. But why? Was it Walter or Broyles who chose her? Because if it was Brolyes, I don't trust her at all anymore.

    I'm pretty sure it was Broyles, but she doesn't really work for walter. She works for Broyles. Her job, atm, is to assist Walter and Peter and act as a 'home base' for Olivia.

    I haven't trusted her for a while. Particularly after that phone call she got. Who was she talking to??

    What phone call are you talking about? And yes, she was assigned to assist Walter by the government or Fringe Division.

    The phone call at the end of 1.14 Ability, during which she received the information that Olivia had succeeded in defusing the bomb. In this phone call, Astrid says, "Yes, sir," followed by the subtle thump of a drum in the background, perhaps telling us Astrid is not what she seems.

    You're thinking too much into this. She was just being told that the bomb was defused.

    Technically she's supposed to be Olivia's assistant but over time Walter has molded her to become more his assistant.

    It's a bit complex. I'm sure there's more to Astrid than meet the eye but I doubt she's like a secret spy or anything like that. She's just an agent whose more intrigued by the Fringey-science world than Peter and Olivia are.

    I've always thought there was more to Astrid than we're told. I never trust a 'background' yet main character - same with that FBI agent Charlie
