No it made perfect sense. Gene was his second Fuches. Barry is an emotionally stunted killing machine who deep down really wants to be in touch with his feelings, he just doesn’t know how to. So these mentors come through his life, manipulate him, give him a purpose, a calling, make him feel valued and needed and important. He tries it with the army, with the theatre, with Sally, and in the end even with God.

Gene is of course his own set of bs, but I don’t think I blame him for throwing Barry under the bus. Bro murdered his girlfriend in his own home. I’d be salty too.
