Mackenzie is surprised by Haz’s slow progress in tracking down the deep fake hacker. She suggests she helps but Haz is keen to protect her from involvement; he’s seen what they did to ‘Zach’. Although Haz catches himself before revealing too much, Mackenzie plays sleuth and manages to unearth Haz’s victim’s full name ‘Zach Wade’. Mackenzie arranges a meeting with Zach to hear more about Haz’s past and potentially gather clues to help them identify the hackers. But Zach reveals more than Mackenzie bargained for — including that the hackers created a compromising deep fake video of his wife and uploaded it. Although Zach is now rebuilding his life, Mackenzie is troubled by the cruelty of what she’s heard. Later, when Haz drops by with a gift and apology, Mackenzie reveals she knows the unforgiveable things he did to Zach and his wife and is not sure she can still be with him knowing what he’s capable of.
As Cara and Remi stress about JJ, he’s still more focused on the rejection from Felix. He reveals this to Andrew who inadvertently gives him the idea to contact the only person still talking to Felix — his girlfriend Jools. JJ meets with Jools and asks for her help in contacting Felix, but she frankly reveals that Felix did the robbery so he could afford to get away from JJ. In the face of JJ’s devastation, Jools is cruel to be kind and admits that Felix never wanted to be a dad and things will only get worse if JJ continues to push. Disheartened that no one is helping him, JJ opens up to Andrew about his longing to know Felix. Empathetic Andrew urges JJ to think about who he wants to be as a person and whether knowing Felix will help him get there.
