Background
Jake was a delinquent in high-school, but his behavior stopped after meeting Drew and Rose.

Summer Cabin Arc
While Jake and Drew helped/played with Rose's hair he gets a phone call from his mom and both boys starts making a ruckus during the phone call causing Rose to headlock Drew and head leglock Jake. When they got to the cabin Rose forgot the key and Jake threaten to break in with a shovel. Of course Rose was upset and Blake was able to stop the both of them from fighting. After getting into the cabin by Beth and Mable Jake was one of the boys who teased Rose calling him "my lord".

Jake also gave some advice to Jonah to help him with a girl while lying to him at the same time saying how everyone wanted him when he was a kid even showing Jonah how much he loves himself with all the selfies he took and even his own baby picture.

Before all the boys leave the cabin, Jake found Rose sitting on the armchair looking at his key for seven minutes until he broke the trance scaring Rose. Jake now knows about Rose's key.
