“A lot of relationships are thrust into immediate strain from the poker nights,” Emily, 30, tells TV WEEK.
“Mackenzie feels responsible for most of it, given that her heavy debt birthed all of this into fruition to begin with.”
The next day, Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) arrives at work to find a letter from Mac instructing her to take over the business. Felicity is stunned and feels the weight of responsibility. Plus, she feels guilty for helping run the poker nights.
