Peter shows up at work to find Valentin sitting at his desk; Nina tries to call Peter and leaves him a message, still clueless as to his true identity.  Valentin warns Peter about letting Maxi get to close; Peter assures Valentin that he knows what he is doing.  Valentin then tells Peter that Lulu may be getting close to finding out the truth.  He tells Peter that he is “playing with fire.”  He accuses him of “falling for” Maxi; Peter denies it, but adamantly defends his right to.

Maxi seems mad when she finds Nina at the office, okay; Nina is confused.  Nina reminds Maxi that she is the one who wanted to back off their friendship, because she needed a friend with no connection to Nathan.  Maxi admits that Peter may well have a connection to Nathan after all.  She corrects herself to say that she just sees a lot of Nathan in Peter, that’s all; Nina asks if she is falling for him.  Maxie denies it, but then defends how well she knows him; it seems there are feelings there.  Nina admits that she is a little jealous of Maxie’s relationship with Peter; Maxie says it’s just easier sometimes because “he’s not invested.”  Nina says she gets that.  They laugh about old times and Nina promises not to suffocate Maxi anymore; Maxie asks her to ease up on Peter just a little bit.

Elizabeth tells Franco that she’s glad Jim is dead; Franco says, “me too.”  She tells Franco that Jim Harvey didn’t break him, and promises him things will be better.  She asks him to come back home, but he says he can’t, even though he wants to… He tells her he needs to sort some things out.  He says he doesn’t know his place anymore; she says his place is with them.  She tells him he is a good person; he promises to do everything he can to “heal,” offering his pinky.  She says she has always trusted him; he says he loves her and she says she loves her too.  Kevin comes to visit Franco; he assures Franco that Jim Harvey is dead, as a result of Drew shooting him.  Franco tells Kevin everything that he has remembered now, about Jim’s molestation and how it began.  He says that Jim told him he loved him; he wonders if it was his fault somehow.  Kevin assures him he is in no way responsible and then shares the fact that he was molested as a young boy too.  Franco comes out and tells Elizabeth that he will come home to her and the boys.

Anna and Jason talk about Heinrik; she asks Jason to stop looking for him.  He tells her he can’t and sees that she is clearly uncomfortable with that.  He asks her why; she lowers her head.  She nervously changes the subject; Jason tells her he is going to handle this himself.  Anna asks Jason to allow her to be there when he finds Hienrik; he agrees but tells her, if he believes they are in danger he won’t hesitate to shoot him down.  When Anna tells Emma that she has to take a trip to Switzerland, Emma wants to go too; she tells Anna she has a school research project to do on Switzerland.  Jason doesn’t think it’s a good idea, but Anna says she will think about it.  She tells Jason it could add to their cover.
