I didn't have a problem with Pete doing a background check since that's what I'd expect cops to do, too.
However, I had an issue with him actually showing up on the scene after the background check. Any smart cop would know that high-level organizations (including cops) get involved in dangerous, covert operations that require secrecy. Sam's behavior wasn't odd at all - he knew she's ranked in the Air Force and she essentially told him she's involved in something top secret. His reaction after knowing that is actually more unusual; surely he was trained by his superiors about covert ops?
If someone interrupted such an operation IRL, I imagine they'd be in huge trouble; Pete was lucky he didn't accidentally screw things up, but nor did he help much either. I wanted to shoot the writer(s) at that point for making Pete so stupid - surely there was a better way to get him involved. Perhaps by accident, or normal cop-routines out of the way... Granted he probably didn't know at the specific moment he started following her that Sam would be involved in an operation, but he should've figured it out in his wait-in-car-mode.
Pete is fine as a person, I like Sam happy (and away from Jack ), but I get this horrible feeling that he never went to college and might even be a high-school dropout. Not an intellectual match for Sam at all. (!)
I'm still secretly hoping for a Pete/Lantash thing. (hahaha)
