Through all this Monica is keeping a sharp eye on Zac, as she still believes he is behind the problems in some way. It isn't until Zac is beaten by Logan and his thugs, drugged and rushed to hospital that Monica is willing to entertain the idea that Zac is innocent after all. All she needs to believe him though is for them to catch Logan red handed; but how? Logan will never admit to selling drugs and he certainly won't give them or sell them directly to Zac or Monica.
