What happened in Hacks season 3
Hacks season 3 brought forward a new dynamic between Ava and Deborah. Their relationship and bond had become stronger than before. It even appeared that the two could be called 'friends.' But it was long after when the two strong-willed women got back at each other's throats.
Deborah got a chance to host her own late-night talk shows, something she had always dreamt of. She knew she wouldn't have gotten it without Ava pushing her to do more. So as a gesture of repayment, she asked Ava the become the head writer. However, things didn't go according to plan, as Deborah informed Ava that she couldn't give her the position as she did not have the authority to hire the head writer.
Ava got heartbroken when the news reached her, as he had already left her previous job. She begged Winnie Landell to give her the head writer job. Landell revealed that Deborah had lied previously; she always had the authority to hire the head writer.
Why didn't Deborah want to hire Ava for her late-night talk show in Hacks season 3?
Deborah had always been a self-serving person with narcissistic tendencies. Despite knowing this, Ava opened her arms to her and the two developed an unusual relationship.
However, meeting with the network executive Bill Cliff brought back Deborah's old fears. She was told that favors are not usually given to women in show business, and executives often look for ways to bring women down. This meeting propelled her to do whatever she could to make her show a big success, even lying to Ava and breaking her heart.
Deborah didn't want to take a risk on Ava, who had previously been an outcast in the industry. When the truth came out, Ava understood that Deborah thinks of herself and her success before anyone or anything. So she did the same by blackmailing her for the head writer position.
She threatened to reveal that Deborah had slept with the network owner, Bob Lipka, if her demands were not met. Ava's stern approach not only surprised Deborah but also ignited a sudden respect. However, she soon realized that she had turned Ava into something else, which could bring her career down at any moment.
We would have to wait until season 4 to see what new developments would happen between Deborah and Ava.
Stay tuned for more news and updates on Hacks season 3 and other films and shows on Max.
