Also Jason walked AWAY from his life for Mikey
So he does not to fail Mikey cause if he does then Jason truly has NOTHING.
If Jason fails Mikey then he gave up HIS SON for no reason....
saving Mikey is like Jason saving "himself" and doing right by Jake.
Gives Jason a reason to "live"

Face it Jason has always done everything for Mikey..hell ONLY reason he got with slut puppy was to protect MIKEY

so who knows maybe guza is playing it NOW the only reason he took slut puppy back is to PROTECT JAKE....

and all will be revealed in time....as they say keep your friends close but ENEMIES closer
my dream is that anyway
