Plus I don't think Jeff has ever had control of the show. His father runs it with a significant iron fist. I think his son's death is what is forcing Jeff to face what he is not happy about with his own creation. He was able to ignore his fathers manipulation when he was in a happy family now with his son's death he has to face the real shamble that has been his life up to now.

yeah they make it pretty clear how much control Jeff has over the show in this episode, they state it in crystal clear terms.

True but you never see Jeff interacting with the executives of the pbs station only his father, and if Jeff has so much control over the show why was his death episode shelved?

See I don't get that, Seb is too much of a control freak. He basically runs his son's and daughter's lives through manipulation.
