I don't really understand the update. Is it okay to recap or dumb it down please?

Okay, some backstory first.  The juju that gave John his retcon powers, we knew that it was Caliborn’s and it was destined to be used by him once as a weapon and then once against him.  Obviously John using it is against him.

So in today’s update we saw Caliborn get the juju and he used it as a weapon and then banished it to the furthest ring with the Ring of Void.  The weapon allowed him to take the souls of the Beta kids and trap them inside so they are effectively stuck in a house, homestuck if you will.

Then Caliborn beat up Jake, Jane and Roxy and had a most macho duel with Dirk and defeated him but Jake got back up and started to emit a bunch of Hope energy.

(Keep in mind that all of this is happening in the future so the kids aren’t trapped or beat up yet)
