So Jake stole the drugs and immediately influenced Faith by beating the shit out of her, while we were in a coma for several days. . . what stopped him from using Faith to call over Megan, do the same thing to her with Faith's help, then use both of them for Sarah? Not to mention, he could use it to kill off the MC by influencing someone at the hospital (definitely vindicative enough since he was put in a deadly situation and the MC was fucking his mom). Plus, Violet (Mob Boss) only knows about the MC and Ange, so he would have time before a target gets put on him for having similar abilities. Even discounting using his brain to off the MC and hide from the Mob, his poor impulse control and how fast he influenced Faith means that he would have gone after the MCs family, especially since he just had a convo where the MC told him to stay away from Sarah. Just a really shitty plotline, but I'm not a patron so meh. Really sucks since everything up until then was amazing.
