Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

So a temporary PFA was filed (although falsely so) against the girlfriend of the plaintiff. Over some time the plaintiff now has second thoughts. He contacted the defendant and they got back together, meanwhile the ex wife is the culprit behind it all as she forced him to file the PFA to sabotage his new relationship and threatened to keep his kids from him. Two big problems. He lied under oath and wishes to drop the PFA without his ex wife finding out... and the girlfriend violated the temp PFA! Is there any resolve that would just make everything go away? If not what consequences do both parties face?

As a practical matter, the Plaintiff can withdraw the PFA and that will end any issue regarding the PFA. As to the wife finding out, that's not a legal issue.
