jays reasoning to attack tim during entry 75 only makes sense if you look at it from jays pov, because otherwise its a little silly. jay obviously by this point in the series has grown mistrusting and extremely cautious around other people due to the amount of bs hes put through + the fact that his (used to be) friend has attempted to kill him and these two guys (masky and hoodie) has been a threat to him (in his mind at least. masky has attacked him multiple times, though never actually getting close to killing him, and obviously if you see somebody whos teamed up/working with the person who you KNOW has attacked you before, assumptions assumptions) up til tim teamed up with jay. now, the one person who jay has trusted, who hes been traveling around with and gotten sort of close with, the ONLY person jay has, is now blantly lying to his face when he realizes tim has the tape in his pocket. being so mistrusting of others and now having your trust in the only person you thought you could depend on break because theyre obviously lying to you, jay was probably thinking smth like "what do i do, this guy ive entrusted my life with is now lying to me, what is on that tape, what if hes going to hurt me like he did before?" etc etc. even in the entry you can see how he gets colder and more distant from tim, responding in a incredibly monotone "yeah." whenever tim asked him something. now that his flight or fight response is prob activated, he fights, because honestly what else do you do?

thus, he creates the gayest fucking scene in all of mh and i cannot stop giggling at that part but jay is desperate need of therapy.
