looking better by the end of Tiger King 2.<\/p>\n<p>In the last episode, Jeff Lowe \u2013 who was a police informant in the investigation into Exotic\u2019s murder-for-hire plot against Baskin \u2013 and Allen Glover, who was hired as a hitman by Exotic, decided to co-operate with Exotic\u2019s lawyer John Phillips.<\/p>\n<p>They offered to provide evidence that would \u201chelp Joe\u201d, with Lowe telling Phillips that he had \u201csaved everything\u201d from the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>As seen in the documentary, Lowe signs an affidavit recanting his statements about Joe\u2019s involvement in the murder-for-hire plot against Baskin, with Lowe\u2019s wife Lauren saying in a vlog: \u201cWe\u2019re here to meet with John Phillips. We are signing affidavits and we\u2019re Team Joe now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Allen Glover records an affidavit in which he admits to plotting to kill Joe Exotic \u201cto clear him away from the property so Jeff could take it over\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of Tiger King 2, the documentary states that Exotic is \u201ccurrently awaiting re-sentencing as his attorneys work to get him released\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Lowe \u201cdeclined to comment on the allegations made against him in Allen Glover\u2019s sworn affidavit\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>As for Exotic\u2019s personal life, he reveals that he had separated from his husband Dillon Passage and had found a new boyfriend online whilst in prison.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens to Tim Stark?<\/h2>\n<p>Tim Stark features more prominently in Tiger King 2, with the docuseries following him as he takes over Joe Exotic\u2019s GW Zoo with Jeff Lowe, following the incarceration of Exotic.<\/p>\n<p>However, the two subsequently fall out over the restoration of the zoo and Lowe kicks him off of the property.<\/p>\n<p>After several former Wildlife in Need volunteers became whistleblowers about the conditions in his zoo and Stark\u2019s practices of declawing his animals, a temporary injunction was filed against the zoo after PETA claimed that it violated the Endangered Species Act.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the State of Indiana Superior Court granted a motion for the removal of any animals in Stark\u2019s zoo, after which the police issued an arrest warrant for Stark, who subsequently went on the run.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually in October 2020, Stark was found and arrested in New York.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens to Jeff Lowe?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\"
