He is plagued by the pain and death sentence that the curse has put on him, and the thought of not being able to lift it is overwhelming. He's convinced that Erikson is the one who has taken the dagger and destroyed it. He's determined to take her down with him before the curse kills him.
Nyala, Briar, Luke, and Zach are shocked and confused by the recent events and the power Erikson seems to possess. They're trying to make sense of how the dagger was destroyed and how Erikson could have been involved. They're determined to find another way to lift the curse, but Jack is consumed by his need for revenge.

He's consumed by his anger and need for revenge.
As Jack's fire continues to grow and pulse around him, his friends are trying to understand the extent of Erikson's power and her role in the destruction of the dagger. They're worried about the consequences of Jack's quest for revenge and the impact it could have on all of them.
