Despite having a loving mother and a very supportive father figure Jason is isolated unable to form connections. Why?
One could argue it's simply because that's how Jason is. But what happens once Jason finds out about his dad? ... He moves.
He goes from having a false and destructive connection with AJ to seeking vengeance to forgiving and moving forward. The impetus for all of those actions is Jason connecting to his father. Reading what happened to Luke. Talking to Robin about Luke. Getting his dad's shades. It's learning about the connection between Avery and Luke that motivates Jason to get a gun, to bash AJ the way Luke bashed Kofi (unknown to Jason), to bring a kidnapped Avery to the same woods Ray Liotta once took Avery. When Jason lets a crying Avery live, Jason can't stay in Schenectady (where he's broken into a house, knocked a classmate out, then nearly murdered the soon-to-be Attorney General of the United States). He leaves. And he leaves how? On a fucking motorcycle. Jason is no longer isolated. The bike is a connection to his father. He rides off into the sunset.
