This was basically my take on it. Quinn liked to party but she’s shitty at running a business. She found a partner in crime in Tommy who gave her a place to safely party under Rusty’s protection. She came up with a plan and sold Mel/Sarah/Riona on it with free tuition and it worked for a while. Riona comments how this whole drugs and prostitution thing used to work but they need to get out whilst they’re ahead. I think Quinn tried to expand too fast and it’s failing. It’s a tale as old as time for new “businesses”. Her costs (free tuition, running the sorority and drugs to party) aren’t keeping up with her income.I always took that scene as a clear indication Quinn was lying to Tommy. If Quinn was willing to slap Riona, I very much doubt she would avoid correctly blaming Riona for the shortfall just to preserve her feelings. To me, the picture we get is that Quinn knows what caused the shortfall, but will not admit it even to her close allies.
The most likely explanation in that case is that Quinn herself is cause, probably by using drugs without paying. We know she uses high quality drugs (at least by her and Riona's estimation), and Quinn's business skills are looking pretty bad. So I could definitely see her smoking/injecting her way into bigger trouble. In fact, the whole drug dealing job might have started as an excuse to get drugs herself; now she is now forced to try it for real thanks to the shortfall, with predictable results.
We might see more in Episode 6, when Quinn needs to pay her dealer. Otherwise, it's just one more topic for speculation.
So she’s floundering. Dealing more drugs to more people. Bringing in more
and more girls. They bring more fees so she needs more working girls. She starts screwing the Alphas with sugar pills. God knows what she’s doing with her drug dealer.
Shes burning bridges with Tommy for short term cash. It’s classic behaviour for someone spiralling in debt. I can see her getting desperate to stay afloat. Doing anything. I bet she’s embezzling HOTs fees already and it’s going to explode.
