And that lesson is--
[Spoilers ahead ... ]
What he needs to do in his original world -- World 1 -- is block the box off, so no one can use it.
He found this out the hard way, in which he and Amanda were treated to a succession of differing horrendous realities, as they tried to wish/will the world they were going into, into being -- which was the lesson that they and we thought we learned last week in episode 1.4.
But as the two applied that logic -- the world-creating power of a feeling (B. J. Thomas's "Hooked on a Feeling" would have worked well here, though his "Rock 'n' Roll Lullaby" is such an outstanding record) -- Jason 1 and Amanda found the worlds they entered were flooded, wracked by a deadly plague, and last but not least a world in which the analog of Jason 1 was in prison, presumably convicted for some kind of terrible crime. So Jason 1, now -- presumably -- back in World 1, says he needs to wall it off.
This of course will prevent far more than Jason 1 and Amanda not being able to use the box in the alternate realities any more. It will mean that everyone currently in World 1 will be stuck there. Including Jason 2. Which means that Jason 1 will have to share his bed with Daniela 1 and Jason 2?
That would be a pretty rough world for both Jasons, right? Which means, what? That once Jason 2 got through the box/room into World 1, everyone's life in the infinity of worlds was in one way or another worse than it was before?
I'm not sure. But I certainly don't hold out much prospect for a happy ending in this fascinating, complex story.
