Release details and watch options for Hacks season 4 episode 9
As previously mentioned, Hacks season 4 episode 9 will air on HBO on May 22, 2025, at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT. Simultaneously, the episode will also be available on HBO Max, the channel's affiliated streaming platform, starting at the same time as its broadcast on HBO.
That said, HBO and Max are available in several regions around the world. Therefore, given below is a table based on the time zones specific regions follow to give an idea of when people could tune into the channel and streaming platform to watch the episode.
What happened in Hacks season 4 episode 8?
In episode 6, Deborah desperately went after Ava after realizing her mistake of giving her the cold shoulder throughout the season. She even entered the water, believing that Ava was trying to end her life. Although that wasn't the case, Ava saw that Deborah really cared about her. Deborah also mentioned how Ava was her "voice," and the two made up.
In episodes 7 and 8, Ava and Deborah were inseparable. They did everything together and shared several heartwarming moments at work and outside of it. Not only that, AJ, Deborah's daughter, made Ava her child's godmother because, according to her, she can bond with her mother the way she never could.
However, episode 8 of Hacks season 4 ended on a bit of a sour note as Ava was left confused about her feelings towards Deborah. This was after she learned that Rob, the executive producer of Deborah's Late Night show, was the one who had asked Deborah to look for Ava after she quit and left.
The revelation left her confused, as before that, she believed that Deborah had come for her because she wanted her back. She was unaware of any external forces that could have played a role in Deborah going after her.
Additionally, Winnie Landell, a network executive on Deborah's late-night show, was fired during the concluding moments of episode 8. This was after Deborah complained to Bob Lipka, the owner of the network airing her show, about Landell pressuring her for a spinoff series.
When Ava learned about Landell's abrupt firing, she connected the dots. She realized that Deborah had a role to play in it. The same made her think about the security of her role in the show, as well as rethink the perception she holds of Deborah.
What to expect in Hacks season 4 episode 9?
Since Ava and Deborah's relationship on the show is ever-evolving, it is difficult to anticipate what might happen next. However, based on the developments in episode 8 of Hacks season 4, viewers can expect some confrontations from Ava toward Deborah.
Left questioning Deborah's intentions in the previous episode, it would only be fair for Ava to seek clarity. That conversation could either solidify their bond or break it.
