This was had his first experience with death [2]. He started teaching at Sanderson University when Clay was eight years old[3].

Throughout the Series[]

Season 1[]

Clay arrived home and asked Matt if he could use his boombox to listen to the recently received tapes. He asked Clay how he is doing and to keep in touch, because the school had sent out an email about Hannah Baker that day.[4]

When Clay took coffee when coming downstairs to eat breakfast, which Matt questioned as he usually doesn't drink coffee. Clay replied by saying he doesn't eat breakfast either. After Clay got upset when Lainie gave him a new prescription and left, Matt told Lainie that she could've been more subtle and that it's normal for a teenager to keep secrets.[5]

Clay came home to Matt and Lainie while visibly drunk, as he was just encouraged by the jocks to drink. Matt mentioned the conversation escalating fast after admitting his drunkenness and asked how much he drank. He suggested sitting down to have dinner, before lay puked all over the table.[6] The next morning, Matt came to check up on Clay and asked about his hangover, which he gave Clay a special drink for to "cure". Matt told Clay he convinced his mom to not ground Clay on the condition that he would start opening up to them.

Tony was invited over for dinner. When talking about brothers, Matt mentioned to Lainie that he brother is an asshole. He started asking Clay and Tony about their history project and started going on about the positives of collaborate projects. As Clay and Tony started having a strange conversation about the project as they were actually talking about the tape, and mentioned that the project was given by a dead person. Clay clarified to his parents that the historical figure the project is about is dead, to which Matt replied "in a sense, all assignments are given by dead people".[7]

Clay sat at the breakfast table and criticized Matt for calling him "pall", to which Matt jokingly called him "honey" instead. Matt started smelling Clay and questioned if he showered and caused Clay to go on about what showering is like. This made Matt admit to Lainie that there's possibly something going on with Clay.[8]

Matt and Lainie continued to talk about Clay's mental health. Lainie believed Clay should talk to his therapist, but Matt disagreed and told her not everything can be solved with words. They started arguing as Lainie believed Clay was in trouble and had something to do with Hannah's suicide, while Matt thought she was making wrong assumptions and Clay barely knew Hannah. He decided to talk with Clay himself when he'd come home from school. Matt explained that he and Lainie disagreed on some things. He suggested Clay that if he has nightmares and wants to talk about them, he can go to his therapist. He started telling about his bad high school experience and what got him through it, asking Clay if he also has something to hang on.

Karen Dempsey and Zach Dempsey came by to confront Matt and Lainie about Clay keying Zach's car. After they left, Matt talked with Lainie why he did it, questioning if he's being bullied or a bully himself. Matt told Clay that they're going to ground him for it and drove him to Tony to give him their "history project".[9]

Matt came home to a panicking Lainie and asked what's going on. Lainie explained to him that Clay had walked out of school and disappeared. Matt stayed calm and told her that he thinks Clay skipped school to do something fun, and that he's not missing. Later, after receiving a text from Clay, Lainie and Matt discussed how hard it is for Lainie to try and "tear apart" a girl who committed suicide. Matt advised her to not go after Hannah, but find out the truth instead. When Clay came home, Matt hugged and told him they won't ground him and are glad he's alive.[10]

Lainie came home to Matt after looking for Clay, who had run away after Lainie took him to the police for having weed in his school bag and opened up to her about Hannah. Matt told Lainie that he doesn't believe Clay has a drug problem as he teaches "potheads" and knows what they look like. Lainie revealed to Matt that Clay somehow feels responsible for Hannah's suicide and wondered if he did something to her, which angered Matt a bit as he doesn't believe Clay would do something like that. He also told her that quitting the case won't protect the family.[11]

At breakfast, Matt questioned Clay for still drinking coffee. Lainie started talking to Clay about the trial, after which Matt asked if they could one morning without discussing it. Clay started suggesting he did some terrible things and could go to jail, shocking Matt and Lainie.[12]

Clay had come home with a lot of bruises on his face after disappearing again, which Matt confronted him about the next morning. Clay claimed he was at a friends' house and fell with his bike, which Matt didn't believe.[13]

Season 2[]

Matt made his first appearance in the second season when Clay came home and found him cooking pasta with Clay's girlfriend Skye Miller.[14]

When someone broke into the house by breaking glass, Matt headed upstairs with a bat, and found Justin in Clay's room. He and Lainie let Justin stay at their house after hearing about his home situation.[15]

Matt went to court with Clay for his testimony, where he found out Clay did drugs with some friends. They had a talk afterwards; Matt wasn't angry with him, but didn't understand why Clay didn't tell Lainie and him about it because Clay couldn't do anything that would make them stop loving him.[16]

Matt and his family got into an argument about Justin and Lainie helping the school with Hannah's case. He suggested to call social services, which Lainie disagreed to. He called Lainie and Clay out for acting like children and told Lainie they needed to act like parents, and sent Clay to his room.[17]

The next morning, Matt suggested to call Justin after Clay told him that he was gone. Clay interrupted him, asking why he cared and they should just let him go. Matt mentioned how he thought Justin testifying was important to Clay. After he told Clay that Lainie was staying at her sister because of the argument, Clay proposed to move together and start over. Matt responded him that this was their family and they could fix it.[18]

Matt and Lainie attended Hannah's funeral and wake. They decided that they want to adopt Justin.[19]

Season 3[]

After Spring Fling, Matt and Lainie talked with Clay and Justin about what happened at the dance, believing the shooting was a false alarm. Matt called it an overreaction, after which Clay and Justin exchanged looks. Matt proposed to clear out the workshop and turn it into a bedroom for Clay and Justin as they're about to be seniors and need space.[20]

When Justin's social worker came to visit, Matt and Lainie decorated the house to make a good impression. After Clay forgot about it and asked if he had to stay home for it, Matt asked if he still felt good about the adoption.[21]

Matt, along with Lainie and Clay, went to Bryce Walker's Funeral to support Justin. When Lainie mentioned not being surprised that Barry Walker abandoned his son when looking at him, Matt warned her that it's his son's funeral as a way to let her know that she can't say that. When Clay came home after hearing about Tony's family getting deported, he hugged Matt and Lainie and said he loves them. Matt replied by saying "I love you too, kiddo".[22]

Matt and Lainie confronted Clay after he and Justin were interrogated by the police about pointing a gun at Bryce. When Clay and Lainie argued about not believing him, Matt tried to calm them down and assured Clay that he believed him. After Clay left and Justin told his side of what happened, Matt asked Justin what he means with Clay being out of his mind that night and if Clay is having nightmares again.

Matt argued with Lainie about hiring a lawyer, which in his opinion would make Clay more suspicious. They talked about if Clay could've done anything to do with Bryce's murder, which Matt didn't believe. Lainie points out that Matt had mentioned being surprised by what Clay is capable of.[23]

Matt and Lainie talked again with Clay about if he has been in any contact with Bryce after the trail, which Clay denied. They told Clay about getting Dennis to represent him to help protect him and suggested talking to Dr. Robert Ellman. Matt assured Clay they don't think he's crazy but it might be worth talking to a therapist. Later that day, Matt, Lainie, Clay en Justin talk with Dennis about working on Clay's defence.[24]

Matt, Lainie and Dennis revealed to Clay that he's been officially named a person of interest. When asked by Justin what that means, Matt called it character assassination. He suggested that Clay en Justin stayed home from school, but they refused.[25]

After Clay revealed that he had sent a text to Bryce that said he wants to kill him, Matt questioned him if Bryce had said or done anything to him on homecoming night. Clay shook his head "no", and Matt asked what reason he had to sent the text.[26]

Matt, Lainie and Dennis talked with Justin about Clay's whereabouts as he had run away the night before. Matt mentioned understanding that Clay didn't warn about leaving, as he must've been extremely scared.[27]

The Jensens all have family dinner along with Tony Padilla and Caleb. Matt explained their Thanksgiving tradition to all say what they're thankful for. He said he's thankful for having many people around the table with them. When Justin revealed that he's still using drugs, Matt was clearly shocked as he went wide-eyed.[28]

Season 4[]

At breakfast, Matt and Lainie ask Clay if he wants to come with them to see Justin up at rehab and reveal some concerns to do with Clay’s academic performance; Clay’s grades are slipping and Matt and Lainie are worried. Moreover, it’s time he starts thinking about college. They believe sessions with Dr. Ellman will help him.

On Christmas morning the Jensens are opening presents. They bought Clay and Justin brand new phones and give Justin a family picture of the four of them.

During breakfast, The Jensens question Clay about his injuries. Justin tells them that they're from a fight. Matt and Lainie are upset about this, but Clay says it's nothing and walks away from the table.[29]

Matt and Lainie meet up with Sheriff Diaz to talk about the school's security measures. Clay walks in on them; Lainie tells him that they were just talking about him.[30]

After Clay went out jogging to Navy Pier, the site where Bryce drowned, Matt and Lainie are concerned about him and Justin. They make them take a drug test; Clay’s test comes out positive but he accuses Justin of switching them. They ground both Clay and Justin for not giving an explanation as to why the test is positive.[31]

After Clay had a breakdown at school due to a shooting drill, he is taken to a hospital. Here, Matt and Lainie talk to Dr. Ellman about the possibility of self harm. They then inform Clay he has to remain in the hospital under observation. Clay later escapes, and goes to see Dr. Ellman. Lainie and Matt are extremely relieved he's found and pick him up.

When Justin's mom passes away, Matt and Lainie talk to Justin about holding a funeral for his mom. Justin doesn’t want to have one and screams at them when they continue making suggestions.[32]

When Justin receives the results from their college application in this episode; Matt and Lainie are very excited. Matt wants to take them to see Gordon Lightfoot concert to celebrate. Matt turns out to be a fan of him and they mistakenly think that the boys are too.[33]

Clay and Justin admit to Matt and Lainie that they aren't fans of Gordon Lightfoot, they used the name as a code word. Lainie is angry that they've been lying to them, but Clay counters that they lied about putting tracking apps on their phones and they paid for the security and the drills at school. Matt admits that he thought those things might help keep them safe. As parents, they still have to know what's going on in their lives somehow. Clay proposes a new deal where they talk more openly, no more secrets, in exchange for earning back their trust. He then confesses to all the things he did in his dissociation episodes and Justin confesses to using drugs again and stealing a watch and necklace from them to buy. They ask him if he needs rehab, but Justin says he just needs a couple days to get back to normal. Clay then says they want to go to prom and asks for their help with making it happen.[34]

At the hospital, the Jensens are told that Justin has been diagnosed with HIV-1 and it developed to aids. Matt questions how that's possible; the doctor tells them that Justin didn't show symptons for a long time and his drug use made the HIV progress rapidly. The doctor later tells the Jensens that he's terminal. When Clay freaks out and runs out of the hospital, Matt runs after him.

Matt and Clay have a conversation as they're sitting next to Justin. Matt tells him that he has looked at death too many times for his age. Clay apologizes for scaring him when he ran out of the hospital, but Matt tells him that he's been terrified since the day Clay was born. He then tells Clay that he's living proof high school can be survived. Later, Justin passes away with the Jensens by his side. The funeral takes place a few days after.

Matt and Lainie attend Clay's graduation and proudly listen to his speech, in which Clay mentions his dad. They hang out at the gym afterwards. The series ends with Matt and Lainie waving Clay and Tony goodbye as they leave for college.[35]

Personality[]

Matt is shown to be a family oriented man, as he mentions the importance of his family on multiple occasions. He's humorous, as he occasionally makes jokes. Matt trusts his son a lot as he would often state that he believes Clay is doing fine and he doesn't lie. This also makes that Matt can be very clueless of Clay's life and actions. He often stays calm in worrying situations and assures the people around him that things will be fine and it isn't as bad as it seems. This opposed to his wife Lainie, who's more quick to panic in these situations. This also makes him underestimate the seriousness of situations before they progress, such as Clay's behaviour in the first season or Clay being a suspect in Bryce's murder.

Physical Appearance[]

Matt has longer dark hair with a beard and has blue eyes. At the beginning of the second season, his hair is short; it grows longer again through the season. He often wears a button up shirt with a sweater on top of it. He is also seen in suit several times.

Relationships[]

Clay Jensen[]

Clay is Matt's son.
