Brothers & Sisters: Scotty vs Jason

***SPOILERS***
Raise your hand if you saw last night's Brothers & Sisters plot twist coming! (If you read my BEST.GAY.WEEK.EVER! column and figured out my asterisk quiz, then you did know.)
Last night's episode still revolved a great deal around Kitty's upcoming wedding, but Kevin's (Matthew Rhys) long simmering frustration with boyfriend Jason (Eric Winter) who is off in Malaysia and not bothering to call home (except to his brother) finally came to a head last night when Scotty (Luke Macfarlane) brought home some cater waiter leftovers including lobster and champagne. He might as well have just walked into Kevin's apartment, stripped off his clothes and pounced on him!
After eating their sumptuous, suggestive meal the two fell asleep together on the couch.
Upon waking, Scotty clearly realized there was something in the air and tried to get Kevin to go to bed while he inflated his air mattress. Kevin agreed and rose to exit stage left, but before he even got halfway up, spun around and he and Scotty lunged for each other.
The two parted awkwardly the next morning and, of course, Jason finally called that very afternoon. We see the start of the conversation, then Kevin closes the door and the scene cuts away. When Kevin arrives home it's to find Scotty packing up to leave, apparently uninterested in either being Kevin's plaything or being a constant reminder that Kevin cheated on Jason.
But before Scotty can go, Kevin tells him he broke up with Jason and that he wants to give this thing with Scotty another go. Hmm....
While I'm certainly glad to have yet another guy-guy kiss on the show and Kevin's storyline picking up steam again, I'm not quite so sure what I think about it unfolding this way. (And having seen next week's ep already, I know a bit more about where things head next!) Is Kevin an ass for so quickly cheating on Jason? Or is Jason's lack of communication a sign he is more in love with God than Kevin as Kevin seems to fear?
We do know Jason is going to be back soon, presumably either to fight for his man or thump him with the good book.
What does everyone think of this latest plot development? Is Kevin an impatient, idiot for trashing yet another relationship? Or is he justified in dumping Jason because he's realized he still has feelings for Scotty?
