Secret fourth thing: it would be weird to report it to the authorities when a student at the School for Murderers had murderous thoughts. That doesn't seem like a sustainable policy.
Kneejerk reaction is to say "Jawbone! Why haven't you reported that a student has expressed murderous thoughts towards another student! Surely, that is your job!"
But that is assuming that he hasn't. I choose to believe that he has, but the problem is that the principal was
1. A robot man that enforced perfect order by literally attacking students that fell outside the line, and then
2. Another student, who almost certainly doesn't have the training and resources required to deal with this problem.
There is, of course, a third option. The position of Vice Principal has limited power, but it is held by an actual adult...
“I would buy a mansion” “I would buy designer” “I’m getting a pool” Don’t give me that lame ass if I won the lottery shit. You’re all pathetic. If I came into a significant amount of money, you know what I’d do? I’d go to the Ren Faire, B-line straight to the cloaks. I’m talking floor length, heavy, wool, felted details, huge hooded cloaks that are like 450 a piece and all handmade and I’d get me one. Maybe even get one of the smaller ones that hangs off the shoulders and lands just above the elbow that are 90 by themselves. And I’d be the baddest bitch around because I’d wear that shit everywhere. It’s 115 degrees? I’m sorry do I look like I give a fuck? I have a cloak bitch I don’t need your fahrenheit bullshit. And you’re a FOOL if you wouldn’t do the same.

Remember when Brennen’s mom Elaine Lee, renowned writer of A Starstruck Odyssey, told the story about him getting frustrated about getting a question wrong in the back of a book and she said it wasn’t a test and baby Brennan said something to the effect of “but I want it to be”
The Last Stand makes so much sense through that lens
Omg what if THIS is the devils honey trick? He ate some and said that any harm he does is just Helio working through him so HE'S not doing it. And he believes the lie. Then he signs the oath fully intending to help the Bad Kids but genuinely believing thst if he lets them die HE DIDN'T DO IT and so it's NOT TECHNICALLY BREAKING THE OATH??
guys. so we know bobby swore an oath or whatever that makes sure that he's actually willing to bring the bad kids from the dead right ? however. kristen did have a conversation with him in which he admitted that if any harm comes from him to his enemies, it will be THROUGH him and he will not consider it to be his personal responsability. so what that tells me is if Helio refuses to raise the bad kids, Buddy will still be respecting his oath. now do you sincerely think it's in Helio's interest to not let his former chosen one and her friends die ??
Kristen pretending to be back in Helio's path may well have just saved her life.
Sam Reich is the only good CEO because he gets all his evil impulses out by being a dastardly mustache-twirling villain on his little game show, instead of getting into union busting or something
