Diane and Kyle intensify their hunt for evidence after Victor’s repeated interference

Diane and Kyle have been trying to expose Victor for months, ever since he started targeting Jabot with his secret AI project. They’ve run into many problems while searching for proof, but Diane still believes Victor’s ego will eventually give them the chance they need.

In the upcoming episode, the two step up their mission and dig even deeper for evidence. They want to prove Victor’s illegal actions and make sure he faces both public and legal consequences. But Victor is known for covering his tracks, and any “evidence” they find could be part of a setup.
