Things to do before solving Jack of Smiles case?

Currently, I'm in Polythreme investigating the case, but I remembered I never managed to become an annoyance to Jack of Smiles or collect that many leathery hearts by hunting him. Is it important or worthwhile to do any of that? Are those options going to get closed off to me? Is there anything else worth doing first?
Also, does anyone recommend pursuing the fate locked option to both stop Jack and uncover the truth? Otherwise I may just investigate what's going on. Ending Jack is tempting, but I really want to get to the bottom of this.

The Fate-locked option will include the consequences of both endings as well; there is also a small quirk with it that leads me to advise you "if you have any other business in Polythreme, do it before paying the Fate".
That quirk is actually in the description of the storylet, so I think it is okay to just say it: choosing that option will INSTANTANEOUSLY warp you back to Fallen London.
I don't really understand why it does that instead of, say, kicking you to the Sea of Voices instead.

The fate locked option is basically just lets you play through both other endings. Or that's the impression I got from doing it, anyway.
Ending Jack will lock the options you're talking about, and small number of other things. Uncovering the truth won't. There's nothing terribly important in any of those options- though it's probably worth noting that there aren't any other ways of getting leathery hearts, so it also locks the storylet to trade them in at the university, if you're curious about that.
