Campaigning for Moira Queen
"I'm afraid it would be a bit insensitive to even think about working for the enemy, Mr. Blood." -- Simon solidifying his loyalty to Moira Queen after her death. Simon was a social media director for the Queen campaign and was in attendance at most meetings and public functions.

Simon was present at the debate and posted its highlights online. He was shocked to see Thea appear on screen. He accompanied Moira to Queen Consolidated and worked to contain the flood of people online.

He turns down a new job from Sebastian Blood, stating that it would be insensitive to even think about working for the enemy.
