Mason is being a petulant brat at the moment, if he wants his dad to treat him like an adult he has to be one, Clay is being a protective parent which is understandable this is Mason’s first relationship, let alone a relationship with someone who has HIV. Clay has had a lot to deal with in the past few months what with starting a relationship with a guy which in itself is a challenge when he has only been in a relationship with a woman, he has also had to think about his retirement from the police force, selling the family home, moving lock, stock and barrel to another state, hoping that he is doing the right thing by both his son, himself and Greg, and to top it off his new police partner gets shot in the line of duty, heck just the new relationship is a lot to deal with let alone everything else that’s going on. Mason needs to cut his dad some slack and grow up and prove to Clay and Greg he is man enough to make the right decisions about his life and think with his big head, not his little one.
