Although I did speculate this was to be a coming out episode it was much better than that would have been. Jez felt like a modern gay character - why would he feel the need to keep being gay secret in 2008, especially when he studies performing arts?! Congrats must go to the producers for coming up with a gay character who is comfortable with who he is and a character in his own right, and not defined by his sexuality. Those stories have been done to death in soap operas, and instead we got something refreshingly different.
