I'm actually surprised Lucy is so interested in the Pietro and Crystal romance. I usually don't pay too much heed to romantic relationships, so I did some research on this one. I found an old comic book blog entry which trashed Crystal as being basically a whore:

Wasn't the Quicksilver and Crystal pairing really toxic? Why would Disney want to adapt THAT storyline?!
They did detoxify the romance between Hank and Janet in the movies. I found an old comic book blog after doing some research on THAT romance, and this one trashed Janet for basically being a whore as well:

I liked rheir dynamic too. Viz could also be friends with Wasp, maybe Hank and jan and the Young Avengers too
Why are these blogs calling them whores, especially when Hank was at fault?
But I agree the MCU romance was improved, even though Janet was mostly wasted. I wish rhey had been younger in the MCU
I heard some time ago that at the time Marvel wanted to introduce more adult themes on the story like the divorce, they at first thought of making Wanda and Vision separate but then decided to divorce Pietro and Crystal, they started to write Crystal cheating around and Pietro as a whorkaholic husband who "send his woman to other men arms" before that neither of them had much character development so I find it a bit unfair their relationship was cut short because marvel thought they were not that important characters. I think it was a disservice to both.
While Pietro got the opportunity to have better development on X-factor, Crystal just went from one man to another, from Pietro to Johny and back because writers have the idea thatīs just what sheīs when she has not really been developed as a character.
Given the good work Hank Pym got from the MCU I was hopping Pietro and Crystal would get a more healthy relationship, because despite it all, they had their moments together and I also love Luna XD

I think this was the last time they interacted, I have not seen them together since this issue.
Yes, lest hope they are together and happy with Luna somewhere.
I have the theory she could have rescued him before Sokovia fell, it was completely destroyed and we didnīt see Pietroīs body so they could add Crystal around there and it would be a nice call back because they also meet like that in the comics, she rescued him from the sentinels and married some time after it.

It was before the Axis retcon around 2014 imo part of the reason Pietro seems so hard to find right now is because he was left without strong connections besides Wanda. He needs new links to more characters.
It could be a way to get him back without much effort but thatīs a matter of time to see if they want to bring him back.

Yes, he needs that but he also needs new stories and more friends and people to interact. Most of his stronger connections were with the X-side and after the retcon he just stopped having any link to them. I think he could still be friends with Lorna but I think a new take on him, his powers and motives for being a superhero are in order.
