Chapter 30 or chapter 31. Or if Joker will be bundled into this volume, chapter 29.

BTW, one could interpret the lines of the clowns as Ishida telling us that he's aware of this arc's problems up to now. Roma's "Fuah, how boring." and Uta's "Ah, I guess it's about time [to start with the main section of the arc]." If so, then Ishida somehow figured that the arc's current problems couldn't be avoided to make this arc work out overall.

But as I said, the moment when Sasaki regains his memories will be what will really decide if this is a good or bad arc. No matter how great the writing of the build-up of the arc is, if the climax is no good, it's a bad arc. And if the climax is really great, a slightly convoluted build-up won't be too problematic.
