I sort of agree with you. Small town for Jake, who I would think is still tentative about accepting his sexuality, doesn't seem to be the right move. And LA is a huge city, you can go the rest of your life without running into an ex. I swear, you can and I have :)

I agree, redeeming Jake seems like a concession to the fans. Let's hope to god that Manna Francis doesn't try to do that with Toreth.
