Degrassi: Next Class

Season 1

In #ThisCouldBeUsButYouPlayin, Zig cheats on Maya with Zoë after believing Maya is romantically involved with Jonah in New York. When Maya comes back, Zig hugs her while he and Zoë stare at each other from afar. 

In #SinceWeBeinHonest, Zig is blackmailed by Hunter that if he tells Principal Simpson about the trolling, he will show the whole school the video of Zig and Zoë hooking up. Later, Zig decides to tell Maya that he cheated on her, and Maya breaks up with him. 

In #SorryNotSorry, Zig attempts to make things right with Maya and talk to her about what he did, but Maya refuses to forgive him. Later, Maya runs into Zoë during the lockdown, and Maya questions her on what she and Zig did. Zoë apologizes and tells Maya that she doesn't want to tell her the full details of the hook up because she doesn't want to see her reaction. Afterwards, Maya tells Zig that she is done with him. 

Season 2

In #SquadGoals, Maya and Grace are talking about Maya landing a new co-op position, and Grace asks why Maya seems so happy. Maya asks why wouldn't she be. Grace responds that her ex-boyfriend cheated on her with a "notorious psychopath". Zoë hears this as she is walking by and says, "Sorry that we can't all be perfect friends like you, Grace." Maya says that she is fine, and just wants to move on and focus on the co-op position.

In #TurntUp, Zig shows up at Maya’s house while she’s working on a project. He accuses her of being the reason why he cheated, citing that it “takes two people to screw up a relationship.” Maya angrily tells him that those two people were him and Zoë.

In #ToMyFutureSelf, Zig shows up to watch Maya perform with Peter Stone at the Trapdoor. Maya is angry to see him, and Zig asks why she can't get over what happened and why they can't just be at peace with each other. Maya replies that whenever she sees Zig, all she can think about is Zoë putting her hands all over him.

In #OMFG, Maya is about to board the bus to go to the volleyball game with Grace and Tiny when Zig comes up to them and asks if it's weird if he comes too. Grace says that he can come only if he's not weird, and Maya says that he's definitely weird. Zig is glad that Maya is finally at peace with him after what he did and the whole group walks onto the bus while singing.

Season 4

In #BackToReality, Esme asks Tiny why Zig and Maya broke up if they were so in love. He tells her that Zig was jealous and couldn’t handle anyone else near his girl. This of which led him to cheat on her with Zoë.
