History[]
Working with Anna, Rachel, and Neff[]
Kacy started working with Anna when Neff recommended her. Rachel and Neff did a serious workout when Kacy coached them while Anna took things much more easily. Once the workout was done, Kacy was upset to see Rachel take a dig at Neff. She told Rachel to be kind and Rachel apologized.
Anna took Kacy, Neff, and Rachel to see 281 Park with her. The four of them became close and often partied together.[1]
Trip to Morocco and Illness[]
Anna planned a trip to the resort La Mamounia with Rachel and invited Kacy to come along. Kacy agreed and they flew to Morocco. At the resort, they did yoga and played tennis while Noah filmed them. Kacy quickly became annoyed by Anna's constant talk about ADF and her struggles to get funding. That first night, as they had dinner, Kacy began to feel ill. Back at the riad, Kacy threw up repeatedly, forcing her to book a flight and go home early, where she was sick in bed for six more days. In hindsight, she believed the universe was protecting her from what happened next in Morocco.
Long after she'd gone home, Anna called Kacy trying, saying she was stuck in Morocco after being mugged. Kacy bought her a flight home, then called Rachel, who told her that after she and Noah left, Anna stayed and Rachel had ended up paying for things when Anna had card trouble.
While Kacy was enjoying a night in with Martin, Anna came to her apartment building and asked to spend the night. Kacy initially refused, but when Anna hinted she was suicidal, Kacy agreed to let her stay for one night. The next morning, Kacy found a dress for Anna to wear and Anna said it was ugly. After this interaction, Kacy called Rachel again and asked Rachel what had happened in Morocco. Rachel told her and showed her the bank statements which showed that Anna had charged $62,000 to her work card.
When Anna came back to Kacy's building, Kacy stayed in her apartment and refused to come downstairs to talk to her, despite Anna waiting there for five hours.[2]
Anna's Intervention[]
Kacy was working with Nicole when Rachel came in crying, which Kacy knew was because of Anna. Rachel told Kacy about Anna charging her work card for the entire amount of the trip. They worked out an intervention, luring Anna to a bar under the guise of them having drinks together only to confront Anna about the money and tell her she needed to call her parents and admit that she needed their help. Nicole brought Anna to the bar and they confronted her with what the knew, catching her in her lies. However, Anna broke down crying and then left the building when she claimed she was going to the bathroom.[3]
When Anna left New York to go to Los Angeles, Rachel was appalled that the police weren't arresting her. Kacy told Rachel that she wasn't letting Anna take anything more for her and advised Rachel to do the same.[4]
Anna's Arrest[]
When Kacy saw that Anna had been arrested, she called Rachel and asked if she'd seen it. Rachel wondered how they caught her and Kacy said it was karma, that the universe would always right all wrongs.[5]
Interview with Vivian[]
Kacy spoke with Vivian, who was collecting information to write a story on Anna. She told Vivian that Anna was Russian and her father was into solar and very rich. She dressed oddly for someone with so much money, but did have a large amount of clothing. She also denied Anna ever having a boyfriend and said Anna had no use for sex.[6]
Conflict with Neff[]
Neff came to Kacy, upset because Rachel was refusing to visit Anna in prison. Kacy told her that Rachel had her reasons for not visiting Anna and said she also wouldn't be visiting Anna. She told Neff that the person in prison wasn't the person they knew. The person they thought they knew didn't exist anymore.[7]
Consent for Inclusion[]
After talking to Vivian about the intervention they held for Anna, Kacy said that Anna, Neff, and Rachel were all toxic and she wanted to be left out of the narrative about them, including Vivian's article. Vivian said she needed Kacy and begged her to think about it. When Vivian finished her article, legal said they couldn't publish without Kacy's okay, so Vivian called Kacy and promised to pull Kacy's name an all identifying details out of the article before publishing it. Kacy agreed to be included under those conditions.[8]
Anna's Trial[]
Kacy came to watch during Anna's trial. Neff was already there and explained which side was which, though Kacy said she didn't want to take a side.
When Kacy learned that there was an Instagram account posting Anna's outfits from the trial, she confronted Neff about it, saying she knew Neff was behind it. She said that Neff was making it so Rachel had to tell her story in front of a much larger audience and warned Neff that she needed to wake up and realize she was Satan's secretary.
Kacy then had a drink with Rachel, who told her that the followers were starting to harass her, which scared her. Kacy encouraged Rachel just to tell her story.
Kacy came to the courthouse on the day Rachel was testifying. She watched Rachel testify and left after Rachel was done. Outside, Kacy confronted Rachel about her admitting that she turned Anna in. Rachel said that she had to, but Kacy found something off with Rachel hiding it and said Rachel would have enough money now to pay Amex. Rachel said that Amex already took care of it, which meant that Rachel profited from ratting out her friend.
While they waited for the jury to return, Neff asked Kacy to help her be patient. Kacy gave her the Serenity Prayer, saying her ex was in Alcoholics Anonymous.
