About Derek, what you say makes sense. If Tommy introduces MC into drugs (weed), why not Derek too? He's in pain because of Ashley and he uses alcohol as a relief valve, so, why not drugs too?Neither Maya nor Josy are in any particular danger. Their brothers, however, seem to be - Tommy has always been a drug addict, and I fear he might have got Derek hooked as well. Derek's behavior is not solely because of Ashley or the end of hell week ... those might have been catalysts, but I think he sought solace in more than alcohol and moved onto narcotics.
Recall in Ep. 6 during the mansion cleanup, Derek comes up from the basement looking ... odd. MC took him at his word when he said he was going to the bathroom and remarked how there isn't a bathroom in the basement, but in reality I think that's where Derek started taking drugs.
The Maya and Josy drama will be about saving their family - both Tommy and Derek - from drug addiction. This may explain why Quinn and MJ paths are so hardwired to be at odds with each other, as the narrative will force them against each other on the issue of drugs.
About Tommy, I think Josy doesn't have the slightest interest in saving him from anything.
About Maya and Quinn's paths, I think that the narrative will force them against each other because when Maya goes to live to the HOTs, she's going to somehow discover Quinn's drugs & prostitution ring and is going to be the one getting it out in the open because she hates Quinn, and maybe, if your theory is correct, because Quinn would be the one supplying drugs to Derek, directly or through Tommy.
