Nah, though Jake was a weak and poor villain, he did sort of go dark-side in the end. The way he threatened to shoot Ellen did not sound very "I don't have a choice!" he sounded pretty full on villain, laughing and smiling as it was happening.

Personally I think it would've been better to give Ava the role of opening the Devil's Gate instead of Jake. She seemed like much more of a threat, already having a much greater grasp on her abilities, plus she and Sam already had history, it would've been a great build up.
