In #SinceWeBeinHonest, Zig Novak suspects that Hunter is the one trolling Maya when he hears Hunter say a phrase that one of the troll accounts had retweeted at Maya. Zig follows Hunter into the bathroom, and pins Hunter against a stall, while Zig looks at his phone. Zig sees that Hunter was in the middle of tweeting at Maya, and confirms his suspicion. He yells at Hunter to stop trolling Maya, and Hunter says he won't, saying Maya deserves all of this. Zig begins punching Hunter, but their fight is broken up by Darryl Armstrong. Hunter tries to blackmail Zig into staying quiet, threatening to show Maya the video that Zoë Rivas recorded of her and Zig, but Zig ends up telling Maya and Grace Cardinal anyway.
