Brody and Zoe met when they were younger. When they were 10 years old, Zoe persuaded him to start learning magic with her. He agreed on the condition that they would share it with no one. Zoe's response to this was that they would make no new friends. This resulted in a close bond between the two of them. They have a very playful and fun dynamic. When Zoe begins to make friends with Isaac Jones, Brody is envious of him.

At the start of season 2, when Zoe announces she and Milo went in separate directions, Isaac questions if it has anything to do with Brody. Although Zoe seems appalled by the idea, this changes throughout season two. On the first day of school, Zoe talks to Brody and questions why he hadn't gone on his phone frequently during the summer. Zoe assures him that she is just joking around, and that they have an entire year to continue to be outcasts, to which Brody awkwardly smiles at. While at Juniors, she sees Brody and Viv acting romantically. This upsets her relationship with Viv, and they become rivals for part of the season. Viv is standoffish to Zoe, as she can sense that there is something between her and Brody. Zoe begins to come to terms with her romantic feelings for Brody at the end of "Death".

During "World", Viv tells Zoe that she broke up with Brody. Viv wants to let her know as she feels that Zoe and Brody have romantic feelings for each other. Zoe rejects this idea dramatically. At the student council halloween party, Brody and Zoe go outside to talk. This leads to a touching moment between each other where Brody tells Zoe he is not sorry he broke up with Viv. He tells Zoe he knows another girl, "Super sweet and funny and pretty. Nicer than anyone deserves. Loves her friends, her family, and magic." They walk back into Juniors and then hold hands

While Zoe is making her way to Brody's house, Isaac pulls up in his car and convinces her to come with him to the party, "just for an hour." While at the party Zoe gets roped into a game of spin the bottle, where she is forced to kiss Isaac. Right before they kiss, she flees the scene claiming she can't do it.

He tells her he thought she might be lonely without Cleo around. Zoe tells him she doesn't need his "pity friendship." After this, he invites Brody and Zoe to another party at Boots house. Brody turns him down, telling him that him and Zoe are training to become "professional magicians." This prompts Isaac to send Zoe a note in class asking to see her magic tricks, to which she responds "maybe." Brody calls Zoe the day of the party and asks her to come to Isaac's party with him. At the party, Zoe wanders off and finds Isaac alone in a room. She goes to join him and they end up having a conversation about Cleo. They talk about how they miss her, which leads Zoe to tell Isaac that she thinks Cleo was cheating on him with Kent Andrews. Isaac is not upset by this, which confuses Zoe. He then confesses that his relationship with Cleo was a lie because he is gay, and Cleo knew. He says that Zoe is the only person on the planet who knows, as Cleo is no longer with them.
