He spends a lot of time trying to work out his anger by swimming, but that only goes so far. In "Cave Cockroaches", he finally snaps at Nicholas, annoyed that Nicholas waited two weeks to ask him how he's feeling about his parents' divorce, and only finally asked because he had nobody else to talk to.
