But the most important thing, everyone missed !!!
The beer Zoey is drinking is the same beer that is being drunk at the HOT party in EP7, and Derek is wearing a TShirt from Pink White in Gender Studies.
Let's connect the dots. Sage HOT buys the beer. Gender Studies teacher Dr. Jade Burke and Derek's TShirt.
Jade is Zoey's mom, Sage is her stepsister.
OR
Zoey was briefly a HOT and didn't get along with Sage.
OR
Zoey was briefly at B&R is the person the MC should have met according to Sage.
To her new friend. Is it Derek, perhaps? Can't really imagine.
But Caleb would be a good fit. Caleb, who probably never saw a picture of Zoey's ex-boyfriend (MC) and may only know him from a verbal description, could have confused Tommy and the MC in EP5.
Full of dynamite.
