I really think it has more to do of rebuilding the Lucky character. Guza has done a number of destroying Lucky ever since he came back from the dead. He is making Lucky the hero now but in order to do that, everyone has to pimp him like what they've been doing to Jason for the last decade. Jason, Liz and everyone from under the sun has to praise how great Lucky is in order to not make him look like the looser he has been since Jacob Young took over the role. I guess if Lucky is the father of one of Liz's kid and he as well save him like what Jason did, he will get the sympathy from the audience. Jason and Lucky are in equal playing field but in order to do that, Jason has to look bad and park him for now until they finish rebuilding the Lucky character.
