The thing that makes Jason so familiar & so frustrating to me is that he doesn't hear "no". Wait, doesn't WANT to hear no. He has willfull No-Deafness.
Even worse, when he hears "maybe but unlikely" he hears 'yes'. And since he doesn't interrogate what that ''maybe" entails & no-one seems to clarify for him what the "maybe" entails, he walks off thinking he has a Yes & tells his team that it's happening, Effie goes off thinking that Jason will understand that it's probably not going to happen but they'll try...and when it doesn't happen everyone ends up looking like assholes. And Jason looks like a double asshole because he has willful language comprehension issues & goddammit this show is crazymaking!!
