I know I didn't create the character, but I did watch the entire season.

I watched him shit on every human being in his life for the dream of a piece of model pussy...
But NNOOWWW he finds it in himself to be caring? NOW with the model of his dreams basically begging him to hit it?

Maybe I have no idea about the character. Maybe you know the character better than all of us, maybe the shows creators / writers had a soft spot in the character that they didn't show in all the other episodes, but I'll say that was completely out of character for the guy THEY created for us to know.
