** After the initial bout of insults and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech speeches calling them out]], Jake figures out that at least part of the blame is on him -- he ''should'' have made more clear his assertiveness is not an InformedAbility around his loved ones, if not literally everybody else. So he decides to correct this.
