Despite the age gap, Kristina was infatuated with Ethan, his mixed signals only encouraged her desperation. After months of Ethan trying to politely push her away, he finally talked to Kristina about how they weren't a good match. Regardless, she was still set on showing that Ethan liked her.
Meanwhile, Ethan found himself caught in several dangerous situations, including dealing with dangerous people like Anthony and Johnny Zacchara, showing his growing protective feelings for Kristina.
