When One Path Crosses (Rise Episode)

When One Path Crosses was the seventh episode of the second season of Rise, and was the fifteenth episode of the series overall. The episode was released on July 20, 2019, and was written by Zachary Serra and Ollie Welsh. It was one of two episodes in the series' second season that was written by anyone other than Serra alone.
The episode prior to it was The Starving Point, and the episode that followed it was The Aftermath.
Due to the series being handed over to Serra in 2020 during production for the third season, some of the events of the episode were deemed "non-canonical", meaning that parts of the story are ignored going forward. Jack betraying the New World Order is listed as one of the events that was deemed non canonical.
