Rena Tunechi invites the founder of the uprising gaming platform 'NneSaga', Stephanie to join her for episode 8. Whilst interviewing Stephanie to find out more about her experiences as a young black female gamer, Rena Tunechi shares the story of Breck Bednar.

Breck was a young teenager from Caterham, Surrey (UK) who had a passion for gaming. In 2013 he met another gamer online called Lewis Daynes. The pair hit it off and interacted with each other regularly online. Breck's mother had fears her son was being groomed online however, no one paid attention to her concerns. On 16 February 2014, Breck got in to a taxi to visit Lewis not knowing that he would never return home. Lewis Daynes was labelled the 'Baby Face Killer' by the British media.
