nah it was gross and weird and forced back then, too

I saw this episode when it originally aired and thought he was WAY too old for her, so yeah, we already knew, Grant.

I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this, it was always wrong for a twenty something man to kiss a high school girl.

it's so insulting to act like we viewers didn't know it was an icky plot IN REAL TIME, you gross old fucks, you just went ahead with the storyline anyway bc you wanted a crossover audience! now as an actor maybe he didn't watch 90210 and realize the implications, but the writers and spelling knew wtf they were doing.

it was very weird, but thank god jake wasn't a slimeball. now later seasons michael would definitely be all over that...
