Like think about it. This happens before episode nine
For jayce , all the struggles of trying to save his boyfriend(best friend if you don't ship them) , trying to fix hundreds years do injustices , keeping a good profile , getting hex tech to respond and trying to keep everyone happy. One day he just broke, but also took viktor because he still wants to help him
For viktor , he realised that he was given a chance to get some rare materials and so he took the deal but he had to help jinx and silco. When he finally got better he thought fuck it and stole all the hex tech he could and since he was better now he could just do whatever the fuck he wanted
