Part 5/9:
Using his ingenuity, Ethan infiltrates the upcoming Elite Fitness Wellness Weekend, where Dean is scheduled to speak. Under the guise of volunteering, he gains access and eavesdrops on Julia and Dean’s interactions, confirming his suspicions of their intimate relationship. He also uncovers Dean’s social media history, revealing a pattern of failed marriages and financial distress—motives that could explain Dean’s eagerness to secure Julia financially.
Ethan takes drastic measures: he laces Dean's protein shake with magnesium citrate during Dean’s scheduled presentation, causing Dean to suffer a public meltdown that goes viral. The humiliation damages Dean's reputation and effectively destroys his standing as a fitness influencer.
