Remi begins working on a club where students can congregate in peace while the top students try to sort out the chaos plaguing the school. This "Safe House" is approved by most of her peers...with the exception of the very individual who convinced her she wasn't taking enough action. John has publicly revealed himself as Joker and King of Wellston, and he considers Safe House an affront to his new reign.
Remi and Blyke start planning and setting up for a new club, the "Safe House," a place where students can gather without fear of being attacked. Amid the rumors about John being the first Joker, Zeke decides to publicly prove the rumors wrong.
With Mardin and Julien at his side, Zeke directly confronts John before a crowd. He declares his intention to prove the article about the real Joker was full of lies, a choice he would regret once John decides to finally let his secret known.
After taking out Zeke, John begins to see the people around him as the same power-hungry monsters as he and announces himself as the new King of Wellston, a proclamation Arlo acknowledges without a second thought.
Now that his title was officially usurped, Arlo joins Seraphina and Isen in the Press Room so that they can try unraveling the mysteries surrounding Terrence and every criminal in the business of tampering with abilities. Their efforts result in more questions, which get put on hold when John shows up with Cecile and orders them all out.
John's new title and enmity towards the architects of his second downfall now overrides any sense of reason he has left. To that end, Arlo decides to point out John has more enemies than he realizes by revealing Cecile's role in exposing Seraphina's ability loss.
John hears of Safe House and brings it up with Remi at the meeting to appoint the Jack. He's against any organization consisting of Arlo, his subordinates, and the estranged Seraphina. Remi nonetheless decides to continue preparing the club, challenging John to come up with a better solution to problems he's always pointing out.
John's first orders as King are sabotage the efforts of Safe House. This complicates Seraphina's plan to use the club as a means of observing Terrence.
When Zeke realizes he'll have to take down Blyke in order to fulfill John's orders, he confidently goes at him full force. Only then does he realize that the former Jack is more than a match for him.
