I think the reason Venessa and jason got on so well most of the time is because they both have double personalities.

Veness the sexual being and Venessa the prude. Jason the "Fun" guy and Jason the "Misery guts".

The influence of evil victor brings out the misery guts in Jason.

For this reason i think Jason was genuine when he gave a hug to Nadia. The nicer side of him was feeling guilty because like when he lost a friend in Venessa so to has Nadia lost a friend in Marco. Something he can empathise with...
