Zoë as she is approached by Becky.
In Unbelievable, Becky tries to write a story for DTV about a teen girl, and Becky confronts Zoë about alcohol which leaves Zoë mad. Later at the Degrassi sing off, she experiences flashbacks of the video of her and the abusers which concerns Becky.
One day later, she gets the police involved with Miles Hollingsworth III and Winston Chu as the abusers, which Zoë denies.
Later that afternoon, Becky confronts Luke Baker by lying that she forgot her project and phone and needs Luke's phone to call their mom to come bring it. While scrolling though his phone, Becky finds new videos and photos of Zoë, him, and another boy assaulting Zoë, leaving Becky crying and saying she doesn't know which side she's on.
While Zoë is working out in the gym, Luke confronts her as her rapist. Zoë is upset by this, but Luke tells her to forget everything, and move on. Zoë doesn't respond, and Luke leaves.
Becky is in denial that her brother was the perpetrator.
Before the game, Zoë is getting ready to go home but finds Luke flirting with Frankie Hollingsworth leaving Zoë to say "hell no" and goes to confront Luke, asking her what she's doing and says he's the boy in the video. Luke calls her crazy which makes Zoë attack Luke, which makes Becky hold her back and says she has his phone filled with other videos and photos of him and Neil raping Zoë which causes Miles and the entire team to attack him while Mr. Simpson and the police try to stop the fight.
Becky holds back Zoë from harming Luke and tells her that she has evidence of him and Neil assaulting her.
After Luke and Neil are arrested, Zoë walks in upset when she sees friends which causes her to be curious finding out they're there for her. Maya Matlin has a weird look which makes Zoë concerned and sees Becky. Zoë walks to talk to her and both hug. Zoë feels bad about her brother, but Becky says it's not going to be easy, but it's important to do what's right. Zoë and Becky leave on opposite sides.
In My Hero, Becky becomes conflicted when her mother tells her to deny that Luke raped Zoë when she takes the stand at the trial.
In Out of My Head, Zoë says what is happening with this abomination (referring to the dresses for the fashion show) and Becky responds nothing. Zoë says to Keisha "She's kidding right?" and she responds "I don't think so."
