The show’s network got wind of the romance. "Step-Uncle Love Affair? That’s a ratings bonanza!" They wanted cameras inside the mansion during Jax’s house arrest. They wanted a "will they or won’t they" arc.

Kourtney, the fixer, stayed. She didn't do it for Jax. She did it for Luna. She taught Luna math. Jax, from the couch (ankle monitor blinking), taught her guitar. Slowly, the hostility shifted into a tense, sarcastic co-parenting of a child who wasn't theirs.
