Just like in real life, nobody on the show is 100% good, or nice, or honest, or thoughtful, or sensitive, just as no one is 100% bad, or evil, or corrupt, or thoughtless, or insensitive. Clay is set up, in the show, to be the voice of honesty, protection, and reason--just look at his perfectly arranged short hair style to put him in the class of what an earlier generation would call "square"--but we see in S03E07 that even the people who knew Clay realiy understood that he is, as Ani said in an earlier episode, "complicated." His own parents, for example, wouldn't even verify that they thought he was incapable of murder. Clay is a nice-enough guy, and he's good to have on your side, but, no, he's able to be insensitive, just as Jessica doesn't always have the courage of her convictions.and as practically everyone in the show is disloyal and hateful at times--just like people in real life.
