Although everyone acted like this temporary team-up didnt change anything, it clearly did.
The toll of that episode may have fallen heaviest on Jace Turner, though.
When we last saw him in 2018, Jace seemed to have finally regained control over his life.

He was an effective and popular Purifier leader and had just captured his opposite number among the mutants.
Jace interrogated John and protected him from trigger-happy Purifiers, hoping to finally get some answers out of him.
Have you heard of sword canes?
Well, Von Struckers cane could also shoot energy.
Lauren, though, is starting to get into a similar mindset as her brother.
Shes also connecting with her grandparents.
While sleeping one night, Lauren starts dreaming about the night Andrea Von Strucker died in her brothers arms.
Laurens fit draws suspicion, and the next day cops come through their door.
Luckily, the Strucker family is able to outwit them thanks to a strategic use of Laurens power.
What part of utopia involves massacring innocent people?
Funny enough, Jace is simultaneously getting a similar lecture about strategy from Benedict Ryan.
They find two mutants, but theyre just kids.
Ryan spins this into propaganda, calling them brave soldiers who protected kids.
The lie works so well that Jaces ex-wife Paula calls him to commend him.
I dont knowwhereJaces head is at after this roller coaster of episodes, and apparently, neither does he.
Even though a reconciliation with Paula is all hes wanted, he refuses to do it on a lie.
Lorna and Marcos reconciliation goes a little better.
Now it feels like this season is really kicking into gear.
With her head full of Von Strucker vibes, Lauren threatens their landlord never to call the cops again.
Craziest of all, Lorna and Marcos spot a nighttime meeting between Reeva and Ryan.
Theyre supposed to be on opposite sides, but instead, theyre working together?
I cant wait to find out whats going on here.
