Wont stop me from rampantly speculating!
looks like she’s more open to the MC sharing a bed with her. Sure, he did whilst she was sick but she made a point in Ep3 of pushing him out and onto the floor.
It’s a minor thing but nice to see.
They have often had sex on that bed, whether she will let him sleep on it remains to be seen. For now, only Quinn and Jill have had this honour.
It was only the one deception and Maya is still currently being deceived. She believes it's a real threat, that is the deception.
Your point, "if it was all a deception Maya would have just told her father to go to hell to end it all" only makes sense if she's aware that it's a lie. The point is she believes it's real so she's looking for means to work around it.
Now the irony is that she is doing things (threesome sex to get into the HOTs) to circumvent the blackmail, how would her dad react if he realized what he'd pushed her into?
I think there is a misunderstanding...
I'm not saying it can't happen, but that I'd prefer it didn't happen. after tyablt's blackmail there's nothing that can exclude it from happening
DPC with this loan made an unbelievable mess (in italy we say that the patch was worse than the hole) from a narrative point of view it was enough that the father controlled that money, now after several reworkings it seems that the loan was obtained by the father and that Maya is the guarantor of this loan, the only one who will have problems if this loan will not be repaid
all this dramatic hype justified Maya's submissive behavior, the fact that she had to accept whatever Quinn asked her to do, without looking in anyone's face, the fact that she had to distance herself from Josy again etc...
now if all this turns out to be a scam, Maya from victim becomes a fool tricked by a deception that anyone could see (in the terms in which DPC put it), because even if she trusted her father after he had segregated her (Nuremberg syndrome I think..) at least after she had discovered the deception she should have informed herself.
I sincerely would prefer that not all the LIs were reduced to stupid ones that don't distinguish the top from the bottom.
I don't see any great irony in what Maya had to go through, the irony if anything is that DPC tells a story where in the end Patrick is right, where Maya doesn't like girls so much and where it was actually enough to remove Josy to make her daughter heterosexual.
