This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Penelope Douglas Thanks, Julia! Jax definitely learned to survive early on. In a way, he's a lot stronger than Jared, because Jax grew up in horrific conditions, whereas Jared was only exposed to it for a short time. It was Jax's "normal", and he's less reactive and it takes a lot more to shock him.

K.C. comes along and, even though he tries to resist, she tries to show him that he's not alone and how much better life is when you can share it with someone else.

Thanks for the question!
