If Nan files a counterclaim, Mac will have to file a response to the counterclaim. This is because a counterclaim is a claim by the defendant against the plaintiff, which means that Mac is now the defendant in relation to Nan's counterclaim. Therefore, Mac has to file a response to Nan's counterclaim, just as Nan had to file a response to Mac's original complaint.
