The Sevens - Episode Nine

I thought it was pretty interesting that Damon takes Jase to this loyalty test. Where does this like leave him both in terms of like pecking order, but also now that his brother is gone? Do you think it's just blood oath time frame and? I was trying to make sense of that for like what the purpose of that scene was. And I think it's meant to be again, a parallel to episode nine where auto analysis are having their like fight over a gone.
