To prove his love he offered to help her cover up her part in the hit-and-run of Richie Novak; she initially refused but then gave in. Luckily, Colby was cleared of the charges. Pete confessed his love many times but Colby would not listen so he teamed up with Adam Chandler and offered to help him ruin Fusion's new perfume, 'Bella', in exchange for Adam's blessing with Colby.
