Paul is lifting weights, then greets John after he knocks at the door. They hug. Paul asks him if he heard about a new device they came out with called a phone. John apologizes for just showing up. They discuss Marlena, how Paul can't believe she's gone and this must be hell for him. John doesn't answer. Paul- "I forgot how much you love to talk about your feelings."
John says talking won't change anything. Paul says he wanted to stay on in Salem after the funeral but he has a chance at a baseball coaching job. He asks if John wants to stay for a homestand over the next few days, coach his coaching, then learns he and Steve are working a case. John asks if Andrew mentioned anything off the cuff to Paul about Megan. Paul says no, then offers John a beer. John says ISA agents can't take work home with them, that he shouldn't worry Andrew is shutting him out. Paul says he and Andrew aren't talking about much but not because of a fight/falling out.
John says in Hong Kong the two of them had lots of chemistry. "What happened, the movie didn't live up to the preview?" Paul says they had a great time but reality/logistics checked in, that Andrew's in DC with a demanding job and he's here coaching baseball. John- "Too hard for some middle aged farts to make logistics adjustments?" Paul- "I'm not middle aged!" John says he sees a secret agent and superstar athlete acting like a couple of insurance adjusters, that logistics shouldn't complicate spending your life with someone who makes you happy. Paul- "Tell me how you really feel!"
John backtracks and apologizes, saying it's none of his business, then gets a call from Steve that he has a long shot location on Megan. John- "Right now it's our only shot." He ends the call and Paul asks John if he can help him with the case, saying he's worried about him. John insists he and Steve need to do it on their own. Paul tells him to be careful. "I don't want to fly halfway around the world to save your ass again." John apologizes again for overstepping about him and Andrew. Paul admits it must be frustrating losing Marlena only to see him alone/not doing anything about it. John says again that it's not his business and he'll check in when he can. They hug and John exits.
Later that evening- Paul looks forlornly at a picture of Andrew on his phone. Flashback to them kissing in the apartment. Flashback ends with a knock on the door. Paul opens it and sees Andrew on the other side.

This lifting weights stuff has become an overused cliche.
I hated Paul's pink lipstick. His interaction with John left me cold.
I never saw Paul and Andrew together before but so far, they don't look like a good match. Andrew appears to be a lot older and more sophisticated. Time will tell if my opinion will change.

It's weird that John flew to San Francisco when he knew Steve was hopefully getting Intel they needed.
