You would have to skip the Academy entirely if she’s alive for that to happen.

Forcing Joe into the atrium to skyrocket his death count would hurt him way more than phantom Jack.

Both could be true. They force Joe to do GA until he rage quits after x amount of deaths. Then Don and Barry gaslight Joe into believing they completely the Academy, only for Joe to find out about Jack later on.
