History[]
Season 3[]
Cal and Jackson met in season 3, when Jackson bumped into Cal in school corridor. Later, Jackson fainted into Cal's arms and the two joked about it.
The two became friends and started hanging out. They smoked weed together on several occasions. They got to know each other better and talked about Cal's gender identity. Cal told Jackson that they identified as non-binary.
When Moordale principal Hope Haddon created situations that were difficult for non-binary students, such as separating male and female students into different SRE classes and publicly humiliating students, Jackson stood up for Cal.
In episode 3.5, during the school trip to France, they sat beside each other, getting high with magic mushrooms, which were given to them by Kyle.
After returning to Moordale, they talked more and shared their first kiss. They almost hooked up, until Cal got nervous and pushed Jackson away, after which Jackson left awkwardly.
In episode 3.7, they shared another kiss in Cal's room. After Cal asked if Jackson would be okay with being in a queer relationship, he freaked out and left the room, saying he was supposed to do something.
In episode 3.8, they talked about what happened the day before, by sharing their different opinions about a queer relationship, precluding them from becoming an official couple; they part amicably.
