the ash left behind by the fire

Like mother-in-law, like daughter-in-law.

Flashback begins!!

Daisy using the conjuring power to give herself a girl avatar and then just pretending she was always a girl and relentlessly gaslighting anybody who says otherwise.

Ragatha: "Jax what are you-"

Daisy: "Who's Jax? I'm Daisy."

Zooble: "Oh, so you're finally coming out?"

Daisy: "Coming out as what?"

Zooble: "...trans?"

Daisy: "No? I like being a girl. Why would I wanna transition?"

Gangle: "I'm so confused right now."

Daisy: "I'm acting the same as usual, you guys are the ones acting weird. Did Caine mess with your minds or something?"

Pomni: "Jax, you can't just gaslight everyone to avoid coming out-"

Daisy: "I have no idea who this Jax person is, but you've gotta stop projecting his problems on me."

Jude's escape and Harvey's imprisonment.

The captivating captives escape their captivity

Jax collects Gangle's broken mask shards as like, trophies, keeping a pile of them on his shelf. What he doesn't know is that Gangle can still see out of her masks even when they aren't attached to her or in tact.

Gangle spies on Jax through the mask shards, hoping to find some way to get back at him, only to discover that Jax secretly likes dressing up like a girl and calling herself Daisy while alone.

Gangle realizes that Daisy is a closeted trans girl and dedicates herself to making sure that flower blooms in the light of day, rather than withering in the dark.

A fun idea I had. Jax transitions only by changing the pronouns she uses for herself. She never comes out explicitly.

Stuff like:
"Come on, rags, can't a girl have a little fun?"

"Wow, Zoobie, you really know how to make a girl feel special."

"you can't begrudge a girl her hobbies, pom-pom."

Like, how long could she do that before somebody mentioned it?

Journey to the center of the mind!
