The more I think about it, the more I think they are going to be doing somehting significant with Jason sooner rather than later.

Any other time they tease a potential major character it's in a very subtle way that someone who wasn't knowledgable about the comics and paying close attention wouldn't notice (see Barbara Gordon, Cissie King-Jones, Stephanie Brown, even Damian in this episode).

But the way this tease is set up, even someone who doesn't know anything about Jason Todd will be wondering who the guy with memory loss is and why does he know Nightwing's secret ID. It's a much more obvious set up which suggests a quicker pay off.
