There's not much to tell about the safe, it's used to store the laptop, there wasn't any money left to be stolen, nothing was reported missing except the laptop. And what about Camilla? If she was busy with Rusty she was not the one taking it...
Maybe she was in on it, maybe she just created the opportunity for any other without even knowing.
The big problem is we are still missing info, who were on the toilets (both occupied), how did MC/Jade vid end up at Burke?
Who really had anything to win by Cathy getting exposed on social media? The only one that has a motive is the one that can't find his own a$$ without tomtom...
There was still money in the safe at that point, at least enough to pay for a personal stripper for the winner of hell week. Realistically that would be thousands of dollars. MC can decline the VIP pass to the Pink Rose which in game has a value of 10$ which in the rebuild minigame is worth at least $1000 in the real world, probably more.
Camilla may have been in but more likely Quinn would say “Camilla, I need you to bang Rusty, don’t worry about the money it’s taken care of.” Meanwhile she has Rio steals the laptop while Rusty’s on cloud 9.
I don’t recall there being anything specific about people using the toilets. Do they say something relevant? If not I presume it’s just DPC declining to put an unnecessary space in his map.
The Jade leak is interesting, but could be anyone. I think we are supposed to suspect Nick. Between the Library, and His room not getting trashed he looks involved. This just seems to obvious to me. Something telling about Nick‘s personality is he is the only DIK to offer to work at the old folks home in your place.
I've never understood why people are so skeptical of Nick banging Arieth. What benefit does he get for lying about it? It's not like Arieth has some supernatural DIK sense, she'd be happy to screw him whether or not he's a traitor. And we see from the Walk of Shame montage that he does have some notches on his bedpost. His story seems plausible enough to me.
As for him feeling guilty, that may or may not have anything to do with being a traitor. The mere fact that his room was nearly untouched when Jacob lost irreplaceable items would make anyone capable of empathy feel a bit awkward. Nor does the fact that his room was clean when the MC first visited mean much; that was a day and a half after the place was trashed, and Nick said it only took a few hours to clean. It's still suspicious his room got off so lightly, but then again so did the greenhouse and he has no (known) connection to that.
I think he is a red herring for the audience. Seems to obvious to be the guilty party. With regards to banging Arieth, I don’t think he did, I just think he pretends because everyone else has done it and he doesn’t want to be the odd one out. Of course it could be because he is a secret Jock, but really are you going to spend 2 years undercover with a rival fraternity.
Quinn isn't as smart as she thinks she is, that's for sure. But she isn't pants-on-head stupid, either. Her plans fail because she overestimates her ability and underestimates the risks. So if she DID want to rob Rusty's safe, she would have had Camila seduce Rusty (in a different room if Quinn was having a smart day) and used THAT as the all the distraction she needed. The whole issue with the cluck is irrelevant to the plan; as I said, it's counterproductive and wouldn't be necessary at all if Quinn was confident in her ability to crack the safe quickly - which she obviously would be.
As for seeing whoever was behind it celebrating/annoyed, well, two things. First, we see Quinn a lot more than many characters; if the Vixens were behind this, for example, we've never really seen them at all. Second, we *know* Quinn doesn't hand failure well, she tends to lash out. That's not as true of other characters, so it's a more notable omission if she was the culprit and her plans failed.
Finally, the exposed safe isn't a breadcrumb. It was exposed during the sack of the mansion, which we *know* Quinn had no part in because she was in the prep mansion at the time. It has no connection to the cluck.
I think the part of the plan she didn’t count on was not being able to get in the safe. When she finds the safe locked she just bails. She doesn’t even fully remove the painting, just enough to try the handle. If it works, great she’s up a thousand bucks if not, no loss to her. Perhaps she figured she‘d find the key or Tommy told her the code, but she just didn’t have time to act.
Yes, we do see Quinn often, however if DPC wants a mystery to be left unanswered he isn’t going to give us a scene the next day revealing who is responsible. We still don’t know 4 episodes later, so he is clearly keeping it secret for a meaningful reveal.
Actually the safe is partially exposed on the night of the Cluck. When we go to Rusty’s room after he has the laptop he is sitting with his head in his hands, if we turn to leave, the painting is tilted and you can see the safe. If you click it, MC asks what it is, Rusty says something along the lines of ‘oh that the DiK safe, it shouldn’t be showing, I’ll sort it out.‘
