TBH I was a bit confused about that too. I got the impression that it was a personal/emotional decision rather than a professional/ethical one - i.e. he felt too emotionally involved to remain working with Bianca. However, as you say he's clearly interested in Carol, and that ultimately would raise ethical issues...
