At the hotel, Greta shows Bo the painting her mom did. Bo thinks that Hope could have done it, so he turns it over to find a date. There is no date, but the desk clerk catches them and stops them quickly. Greta explains to Bo how she almost got Mario fired and that the computer can only be accessed with a password. Greta doesn't think John was ever here and says she is relieved because she didn't like thinking about her mom and John in such a romantic place. Greta asks Bo how his conversation with "Hope" went? Bo tells Greta that "Hope" has a problem with them risking their lives. Greta says that "Hope" might be right. Bo says she also misses him, but there was a tone in her voice that . . . He leaves it alone and just says that he thinks "Hope" knows more than she's telling him. Bo sees the manager and asks him all about the painting, but he says he can't help them. Bo won't let up and demands that he tell them everything he knows about Princess Gina. The manager eventually admits that Gina painted the painting. Greta begs him to help her, but he just answers her in Italian. Bo asks if she stayed her after 1990, and Greta tells him that she needs to know what happened to her mother. The manager says he doesn't know and walks off. Bo tells Greta that he's going to get a warrant to search the hotel records.
