Jake Gori

**Jake Gori** was a main character during the first season of ***Why, Me?***.He was one of the three main characters who reprised their roles from the prequel, *The ‘Adventures’*. After the conclusion of the first season, Jake moved to Canada for an unexplained reason. Yet, he made a guest appearance during an episode in Season 3 and is said to keep in firm contact with the gang ever since.

## Summary

In Season 1, Jake has the first tagline of the series, stating “Now that dangerous disaster is over, you can focus on spending more time with me”. Jake gets closer to Jax as he helps him buy a present for Rita, gets further apart from Max as they clash at their Halloween party and he impresses the gang as he shows his juggling skills at Garcia’s Got Talent. Jake also steers Max away from FANDOM as he knows that it is spelling out trouble, uses his expensive binoculars to spy on Dan and has a small fallout with Jax over Jax’s “awful” decision. Jake eventually relocates to Canada which was unexplained but it was later hinted that he wanted to pursue his love for Science.

He later returns in the third season, during the episode, *Cooling Down*, as Jake reveals that he must move back into Northdale and that he needs to lodge with Jax and Max. Max helps him fix his problem with his school and parents and therefore, he returns to Canada and is said to keep in regular contact with both Jax and Max.

Jake is a “typical-American-boy” with dark hair and is around 5”8” in height. Jake usually wears casual shirts and trousers which demonstrates his calm personality. Jake is into his music - particularly his pop - and he also loves sport (which is shown multiple times through his soccer games).

### Starring

Max Black
Olivia Grayson
Ariel Mason
Klarissa White

Max Black and Ariel Mason returned, alongside newly-good, Klarissa White, to combat the new evil. Olivia Grayson is also back! Newly leading the group, White and Black‘s budding romance caught the attention of Grayson and Mason who routed for them. However, in a tricky position, Grayson knew that de la Cruz was upset as she called quits on her relationship with Black due to her recent block, meaning her relationships became strained. This new evil was a chance for Grayson to prove herself for everyone. Gori imposed as Mary De La Wary, who E.C.B. and Sarah de la Cruz had previous connections with and threatened to take the Good Team down. Through much hunting, they discovered his true identity. Black was shocked to discover it was his neighbour but as Gori explained himself, he realised that Gori had been jealous of Black always explaining how much he enjoyed his online life. Grayson’s key finding was a breakthrough and she was praised by the group and de la Cruz. Gori was recruited as part of the group on the basis of his secretive skills. White’s reluctance to air this adventure’s linen was highlighted by Mason but Grayson agreed with White given her past history with de la Wary. Later, it was revealed why White was so reluctant to count this as a defeat, given that she, as The Mole, didn’t plan the adventure.

Gori appeared in the eighth through tenth adventure as a member of the Good Team: Defeating ROU, Defeating The Court Case and Defeating Neo-ROU. His role mainly being distinctly to piece everything together and draw links yet also distract. His excellence in these areas made up for his lack of knowledge in coding. He got along well with Klarissa White and Olivia Grayson too. Fallon Lynn and Gori reciprocated feelings with one another during the tenth adventure but both didn’t put a lot of effort in it and Lynn felt mistreated by Gori but clear to most, she “ghosted him”. He took the break up personally and decided to withdraw his responsibilities from FANDOM.
