Honestly, I found it ironic but still quite fitting that the unemotional scientist/Observer is the one who was the one that came to understand and explain to Peter for which I think Peter was hoping. Peter has been fighting his feelings, his heart, these last few episodes and he was taking that fight to flight by removing himself from Olivia's presence in this episode. Peter was trying to be that 'better man than his father.' And Walter in his most logical mode approved of what Peter was doing by removing himself from the temptation of Olivia.

But in fact look what Walter did in respect to his own wife and love. He withdrew to his lab and did not give Elizabeth the attention she needed. Walter, in effect, fled from his love; much as what Peter was doing by going to New York - fleeing the presence of Olivia. Walter was wrong. Peter was not being the better man in that decision; the better man would follow his heart.
