[[folder:What's My Motivation]]
* For all his idiocy, Jason's categorization of Michael as Janet's dad is this. He thinks the dad of the woman he married should know about the marriage, he calls his father-in-law 'Dad', and he talks about how he and Michael are family and selflessly helps when Michael has a panic attack over how mixed-up everything has gotten. When referring to Janet as the smartest girl in the world (another heartwarming moment in itself), he says, "Your dad's an angel," referring to his belief Michael is an actual, literal angel.

Eleanor, however, points out "I get bored halfway through a text message" so Chidi should be proud of having achieved something like this.
