On this path, blackmail path, Sophia doesn't know, Zac won't know.
Zac was the one who informed Dylan. Right?
If Sophia accepts it is too late. It is possible, that all tasks will put them on Sophia's days off.
I have mixed feelings about the blackmail revelations, too complex to set down here & now. (I'm assuming nobody wants a mini-essay on the subject). BUT just think....Dylan's bruising must have been caused by sports activity after all. So he wasn't lying about it, or did he really stand there & take it? [I only did something like that once at school, because I thought I was tougher than I was. After gasping for breath & rolling around for a while, I decided never, never, ever to do it again].
What I applaud wholeheartedly is L&P's ability to surprise us. So, the game is branching out all over the place & is somewhat chaotic at the moment....just like RL. Also this update I became a real Alyssa fan....sigh.
We need an update for Christmas. We deserve it!
Here's the thing, if Dylan thought she was having a midlife crisis why not do something like spend more time with her by offering to go shopping with her, bringing her breakfast in bed, you know, the kind of things he was doing, not going up to the local town hoodlum and asking him to make his own mother dress more provocatively.
If this was genuine blackmail from Aiden, I still wouldn't like it but I wouldn't have as much of a problem, but knowing that it's all Dyaln's fault has made it so much and completely ruined Dylan's character. He could have just done some nice things for his Mom to try and cheer her up and to give her some words of encouragement if he thought she was feeling down and depressed, but this is such a ludicrous and bullshit way of creating one of the worst parts of this game.

Either that and he faked it again in front of his mother not knowing about the tasks (that would also imply that he's the instigator behind the tasks), or Zac never told him anything and he's the butt of the joke.
For a blackmail, Sophia as new in town and without a turbulent past, the only material is family. If you start the story with this you don't have many options.
Who is the bad guy? husband, son, daughter.
Hahaha duuuude calm down. The scumbag is Aiden!! he took the deal and changed it without Dylan knowing it. Dylan did it in order for Sophia's concern that he thought that she was going through some midlife-crisis and her age so he wanted that she would dress sexy and feel desired and admired to maybe boost her mood, to realize how gorgeous she is even at her age.
AIDEN! was the one who ruined everything of the deal and forced Sophia to do the tasks or he'll beat up Dylan, he may be lying but he is lying in order to get more from Sophia than Dylan originally intended. Dylan was hoping to help Sophia's mood or confidence and Aiden didn't give a fuck and changed that for his own benefit through the ignorance of both Sophia & Dylan.
But it still doesn't change the fact that he didn't need to ask him to do that. Aiden is asking of something of Dylan, Dylan has no reason to ask anything of Aiden. This is not a quid pro quo because if Dylan doesn't do what do Aiden wants, he'll continue bullying him. Dylan has no leverage to say, "if you don't do what I want, I won't do what you want", because he'll just get beaten up.
We've seen examples of Dylan doing things with Sophia like going shopping with her, bringing her breakfast in bed, so if he's capable of doing these things, why would he not think that this is a way to try and cheer his Mom up from what he perceives is a midlife crisis? He's also a massive fucking idiot to think that scumbag Aiden wouldn't pull something like this and he's also an idiot because he giving Aiden so much leverage over him by asking him to do this.
It's honestly a terrible way to justify an already crappy subplot of this story because it ruins a perfectly good character by turning them into a total fucking dipshit.
Or someone who's concern about his mother and thinks she is going through a crisis and that even younger men can look and admire her even at her age. Was it badly executed the plan, yes!!! but he had good intentions.
Fuck his intentions! Good intentions mean fuck all when the way you try to make good on them results in terrible outcomes.
"Yes, I know I ran over all those people with my car and many of them died, but my wife was giving birth in the backseat and I was trying to get to a hospital, so my intentions were good."
Either that and he faked it again in front of his mother not knowing about the tasks (that would also imply that he's the instigator behind the tasks), or Zac never told him anything and he's the butt of the joke.
The blackmail is fake. Dylan and Aiden made some sort of deal whereby Dylan will do something for Aiden in exchange for Aiden getting Sophia to dress more provocatively and do slutty because Dylan thinks it will make her feel better. So he's essentially offered her up to this scumbag to do with what he pleases and now Dylan has also become a scumbag.
I wouldn't call Dylan a scumbag per se, but definitely an idiot for trusting someone like Aidan in the first place. Regardless, I would prefer to see how this "little" twist plays out.
He is on the deal just as you say to enjoy the show of his crush dressing sexy, not to make her feel better for Dylan's concerns. Another selfish friend beside the neighbor kid. Dylan needs to learn how to choose his true friends. He may have a problem with the judging of people hehehe.
Of course not!!! Dylan only knew about it until Sophia mentioned the tasks.
Such a good friend, I would call him a "motherfucker" but alas in his case, I actually wish that he was in fact with Alyssa so not much of an insult but a good suggestion hahaha. Maybe just "good friend".
Ok shock horror I am going to defend Dylan once more(Please don't hate me)
Actually his goal was just to bring his mom to wear more sexy dresses and loosen her up a little bit. It was already hinted a couple of times in the game that Sophia was earlier different. She dressed more sexy. Dylan remembers that when he was a kid is missing that, although his mom is hotter than ever now. He thinks she like in a midlife crisis and actually only wanted to help her. Of course he couldn't know that Aiden would exploit the situation and especially not, that his mom would go along. So, Dylan just thinks, his plan works and his mom's finally dressing hotter. This is all he wanted.
He could have just started in the art of planning and manipulation but the intention was good, the initiative was good, the planning and angles were good, The execution was terrible, and the unforeseeable changes weren't considered.
If you play with fire, you end up getting burnt, that's how it works.
Dylan is stupid, and in real life he should be grounded for months and would be smacked by his mother/father to say the least. However Sophia won't do that because he did it out of concern and is just a boy who might get broken if got punished in any possible way....
This makes her as stupid as him, and I'm sure we'll see that happening, it's just a matter of time.
