Alicia clearly told Eli that she didn't want the kids dragged into the campaign, in any way shape or form. As soon as they told Eli he should have taken it, shut them down, then did the "research" on his own, not sent them to do it. Their decision or not, Alicia made abundantly clear she didn't want the kids getting tin the thick of things, and Eli did that, and purposely circumvented Alicia to do it. And Peter did the same by not telling her when he knew what Zach was up to.

Alicia's biggest issue with Peter is trust, and here he goes down slippery slope of keeping secrets from her again. it's like she what she confessed to Kalinda, she's afraid things will go back to the old ways if he's elected, her being kept in the dark. Last night's episode was a subtle hint tat Alicia's fears may not be unfounded. I'm sure she won't find it a small thing if and when she finds out.

Has Peter been humbled? or, more accurately, has be learned from his mistakes, especially in regard to his family?

Glenn got his comeuppance, yes, but now Peter has to be ready to pay the price of pissing off Glenn. Peter is no saint, either, and both Glenn and Kalinda know a lot that could bring him down. Free from the "etiquette" of the campaign, so to speak, Glenn can really go after Peter. What does he have to lose?
