Back at Pope HQ, Olivias still camped out under daddys roof also attempting a mental escape?

You gotta stop beating yourself up over this, Jake says to soothe her.

Eli arrives to offer his agreement with Jakes warped little wisdom nugget and sends Jake on his way.

Oh, and shes invited, too, so yippee for that!

Or not (although she looks alive at this news, which is a plus).

Meanwhile, we should have already guessed that Jake Ballard is a pseudonym for something else: Pete Harris.

So whats it going to be, Pete Harris or Jake Ballard?

Their b- or mine?

Back in real time, Livs finally put on some going-out gear to take a neighborhood jog.

NEXT: Shes her own best weapon…

Only problem is, theres no dirt to be dug.

Aye aye, captain, and hes off.

Shes what they have in common, really.

(Anyone else kind of vetting Fitz for the next season ofThe Bachelorright now, BTW?)

Im not in love with Vanessa.

The truth of the matter is that Ill never love anyone as much as I love you.

You have never chosen me.

Weve done horrible things to one another for some reason.

NEXT: Is the wedding still on now that Liv and Jake are hooking up again?

I am not him.

I will not hurt you.

I will protect you.

I am here for you, son.

He is not here.

I am your family.

I will take care of you.

Let him go, he told a then-defeated Pete Harris-turned-Jake Ballard.
