Though stunned , Leanne does not reveal that Peter is now in prison awaiting trial for a murder it is now obvious he didn ' t do . Carla visits Peter in prison and a conversation at cross purposes unfolds ; Carla clearly taking Peter ' s confession at face value and believing he did it ( albeit for her ) and Peter assuming Carla did kill Frank , thinks she therefore understands he has fallen on his sword for her . They are each as confused as the other . Leanne tells Stella what her meeting with Howard revealed . Stella is taken aback when Leanne says she will not be revealing Howard as Peter ' s alibi . She states bitterly that Peter lied to save Carla ' s neck and has sacrificed not only their marriage , but also put Carla above his own son so he deserves to rot . Notable dialogue .
