Summary
This week on Dating Detectives, Mackenzie and Hanna begin by having an open discussing about last weeks episode and the controversy that surrounded it. As a team we felt that where we failed was in our response to Lena in the moment, and in failing to lead a more nuanced discussion in the dogfish debrief about how and why victims sometimes become perpetrators. Then it’s time for a chaotic, can’t-make-this-up Mackenzie Undercover: Mackenzie is hired to surveil a private investigator suspected of faking his hours, and what she finds is an inside-job Dogfish in broad daylight.
