There's been a darkness within our system for a very long time, and we've tried just about everything to put him away. We seal him up, and in time he breaks free. We collapse his section of the Dark Space, and he manages to escape to another sector. We try to erase him on a neuron-by-neuron basis, and we miss some chunk that he's copied himself to. Over all of this, though, we've never tried to purify him. Someone just emerged in our system (bringing with her, I might add, an absolutely gorgeous palace-- B. McA.) who might be able to help us with that. We'll give that a try.
As for the immediate concern, I think the best way to handle it would be to try to seal away the corrupted individual in a location where communication is possible, but the individual cannot take control of the body. Make sure Alex understands that he's not being confined as a punishment, but rather as a safety precaution for everyone involved.
(Speaking as someone who used to be an 'antagonist', however, I should also say that John has done nothing to alleviate me being pissed off. I still would love nothing more than to destroy him... but the fact of the matter is, he's what's keeping us all in check. I've come to understand his role-- even if I don't particularly like it-- and I'll cooperate inasmuch as it benefits me to do so. If you want to reform your buddy, then you'll need to step up to the plate and be a leader. No way around it. --S.N.)

Uh, obviously your mileage may vary.
