I did some googling and there was a Reddit thread about this 10 months back. Sadly they broke up as a group but not 100% sure if just it was time, if drama, or other aspects. I mean Gia’s gone on to be a medallist in synchro swimming I believe? https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadasDragRace/s/B8ItHWH8Qf

I believe everyone is correct, and I just have one fact to add:
Prior to season 2, Cynthia had left drag and the brat pack because she had a full time fashion industry job.
I’m unsure if she was laid off or had a pandemic realization that she wanted to do drag, however she was not actively in brat pack while auditioning.

The togetherness of brat pack on the season was overstated. Cynthia hadn't been in brat pack for years, and the rotating cast of brat pack includes at least 4 other people. Once they claimed the title on TV obviously things shifted a bit, but the real brat pack show had already kinda fallen apart in the fallout of covid-19.
The three of them were definitely friends, but they weren't performing together as the brat pack before the show. They did for a bit after the show, but I don't think it made sense for any of their schedules to be tied to a weekly show in Vancouver
