I can give you the gist: Basically, before the Alvar tribunal that happened in the beginning of Flashback, Alden came to ask Keefe to be at the tribunal. Keefe asked why, and Alden said that he doesn't want Fitz's anger about Alvar to be directed at Sophie, so he wants Keefe to monitor his emotions so that Fitz doesn't blow up at Sophie. Alden says that he knows how Fitz feels about Sophie, and Keefe should know too (but Keefe obviously denies). Then, Alden tells that he used to like someone before Della, and he was also a part of a love triangle, but his lover chose the other guy, so Alden 'knows Keefe's situation.' Alden says that if he wants to keep both friendships, Keefe should "let them be happy." Alden leaves, Ro doesn't want Keefe to give up on Sophie, and Keefe agrees.
