Earlier on Liv Flaherty (Isobel Steele) is mortified when David (Matthew Wolfenden) asks if she and Jacob are girlfriend and boyfriend.

David and Aaron decide to confront Jacob and he angrily admits that it’s true, he made it up.
Jacob storms off but history teacher Maya, who is in a relationship with Jacob's dad David, has witnessed the whole thing. She later finds the teen on his own and gently asks him if he made up his relationship with Liv to try and make her jealous.
