Okay, I think the problem with Jade is somewhat exaggerated.
1) The ending of episode 8 is similar to the ending of episode 7. So we can tell Sage (or not tell) the truth about our past relationship
2) The worst thing Jade can do is refuse to help with the problem with Maya. She's still on the hook. If the connection is revealed, Jade's career is over
3) We still don't know why Burke need a sex tape with Jade. But it is most logical to assume that it is needed as proof of infidelity in a divorce
4) Even assuming the worst case scenario. Sage finds out and ends the relationship with MC. Who does MC start dating then? Does he end up in a group with Others?
5) I think DPC wanted us to fuck Jade and get in trouble. That's how it's planned. The threats from Tybalt and Burke in general look far-fetched.
