Overview
- The new episode centers on Scott Hunter and Kip Grady from Rachel Reid’s Game Changers universe, temporarily stepping away from the main couple without revealing story outcomes.
- François Arnaud says he and Robbie G. K. filmed about two days of sex scenes for the episode, with much of that material not included in the cut.
- Arnaud praises intimacy coordinator Chala Hunter and describes the approach to vulnerable scenes as respectful without being precious.
- Viewer response ranges from acclaim for the emotional focus to complaints that the detour feels rushed, while the series continues to surge across social platforms.
- The show streams on Crave in Canada and HBO Max in the U.S. and Australia with weekly releases, and author Rachel Reid notes her characters draw inspiration from real hockey rivalries rather than real individuals.
