I’m not referring to Clark giving him a bit of the cold shoulder or being told that Martha more than likely wouldn’t say yes to a marriage proposal. I really felt bad for Perry when he came in wearing Jonathan jacket, because it really was a VERY honest mistake that had some serious emotional consequences for everyone.
Put yourself into Perry’s shoes for a moment. You’re outside in a barn and it’s most likely pretty cold. You see a jacket hanging on a hook in the barn. It’s a man’s jacket. What is your first thought going to be? I’m going to guess it’s not going to be “Oh, I shouldn’t put this on because it’s Martha’s late husband’s jacket and it’s been hanging here in the same spot for four years.” Most likely you’re going to think it’s Clark’s jacket, and he won’t mind if you borrow it for 2 minutes.
The look on his face when he found out it was Jonathan’s just made me feel really bad for him. He’s trying so hard to be supportive of everyone and trying to look good in front of the woman he obviously is in love with, and one honest mistake takes a serious emotional toll on her and her son.
