For me the next deep fake video is linked to the 120h period (Lacey working hard for Veronica night after night

), i think we all dont believe Mia's "mother teresa of the strippers" fairy tale, and we know what can happen if Lacey drinks too much , maybe even used some drugs in addirtion (still open) , but why should she go to those parties night by night dressed as a slut , drinking and only dancing sometimes for herself ??? Could be that the deep fake video shows her as the raging slut being gangbanged oder at least involved in "heavy" action...
I think this is one of the possibilities. I'm thinking it will either be the party/Jared or something with Damian to try to really fuck with MC's head
The MC's biggest gripe is with men using sex to lure his whore of a wife and take her away from him. Not so much about emotional attachment. That's what Lacey "says" she's afraid of.
Since Isaac is now his "friend", Lorenzo could be the "guy she told you not to worry about", though she says that about everyone, but I hope you get my meaning.
What I think Will's inn is, is the validation approach.
Lacey's mood and her attitude towards him seems to have improved after those very sweet compliments the improved Will gave her, about her art and how she holds the top spot at the company in that regard.
I disagree with your first two sentences since MC is afraid of abandonment and that he'll lose Lacey.
Talking about will, am i the only one who is concerned there is an unused image of him in swimwear in the files?
Seems like there is going to be a repeat of the Jared jacuzzi incident
I do believe that Lacey will warm up to him, but I don't think it'll be to the same extreme as Jared. Lacey at some point knew Jared was attracted to her, and she was being flirty for a job. Additionally, we see Lacey turn down the idea of adding a guy to the friend group, so I don't think the Jared incident will be repeated, at least not to the same extent.
So that leaves me with a couple of ideas for how Will's story could progress
1.) He could simply be used as an indicator to show Lacey's growth, the fact that she recognizes some inappropriate behavior and ends things where they are (she does claim to do this with people already, so this would be a good way to show it).
2.) Lacey could trust him enough that Will could gain valuable information from her. He could do things to harm MC, Lacey, Mia, and Anna without Lacey ever considering that he's the one 'leaking information'. This would give him a long term staying power for the plot.
3.) He could try to sexually assault Lacey after she turns him down, and given MC's impeccable timing, MC could finally beat someone's ass (or accuse Lacey of trying to do something due to their broken trust)
4.) Lacey or MC could figure out that he knows something about the deepfake and use him to try to figure it out. We saw this with Christine already, so it wouldn't surprise me if something we had something like MC telling Lacey to be flirty with Will to figure it out. It'd play with the jealousy idea.
