Interesting theory, but it all comes down to motives. It's unclear why Quinn would go to such lengths to frame a fraternity that was a very important client to her. I've already mentioned that Vinnie's appearance at the party in episode 9 could indirectly indicate that he was involved in the leak of Сathy's photos. He could easily have gotten to the party in episode 4 through the library (as we learned in the game, the library is an informal back door). It's no coincidence that that's where we eventually spot Nick (because he's the one who led Vinnie into the mansion). Riona noticed him, but didn't say anything. He could have gone from the library to the dining room and from there to Rusty's room. Why did Vinnie show up in episode 4? He probably found out about some kind of deal between Tommy and Quinn through the hidden cameras.I’d bet dollars to doughnuts it was Quinn in both instances.
I’ve made the case before but a quick summation with the laptop…
JB hears Rusty fucking in his room. Camila is, Mona thinks, off fucking some guy. Rio is sat by the Library feeling shitty. Quinn disappears right before everything kicks off. The DIK safe is partially exposed. Quinn needs money. So Camila fucks Rusty, Rio takes the laptop, while he is distracted, posts the cluck, while Rusty panics Quinn tries to access the safe only to discover it is locked and she can’t get in. Quinn thinks she’s playing chess but is barely capable of playing snakes and ladders. (Drugs will do that to you)
As for the photo’s there is also circumstantial evidence Quinn is the one who planted the camera. In the early game between the first couple of times you go into what will become Derek’s room a candy cane appears on the floor. Quinn is the only character these are associated with (and Maya/Josy since candy canes are on their scavenger hunt, but I think the hunt starts after it appears on the floor). The theory being Quinn plants the camera to get evidence to piss off the Jocks in the hope Chad will get kicked out and she can sell them more drugs, since Chad is getting in the way of that. This one is a bit more of a stretch, but I’d still bet on it being the case.
Secondly, Quinn's theory is hampered by the leak of Jade's sex tape. How could Quinn have gotten it? The most obvious possibility is that the video was obtained during the attack on the Deeks mansion in episode 5, when the intruders took advantage of the Deeks' absence. Quinn was busy at the time and it could only have been done by someone who knew the password to the safe. And Vinnie did.
And finally, one last thing. DPС has done a great job of putting Quinn, if not on the path to redemption, then making her seem like a victim. Uncovering the real truth will nullify those attempts, making all her actions seem hypocritical. The ending of episode 9 implies that Quinn and Tommy are teaming up against Winnie, but all of that will go to waste if Quinn is really behind all of this.
This would be interesting in terms of plot and drama and the player would have to decide whether to trust Quinn in the future, whether to help, support and so on, whether to hide the truth or expose Quinn. Too many variables, I guess Vinnie would be the perfect villain to suit everyone.
Quinn's an adventurer, but she's not likely to set Rusty and Tommy up like that, considering how much she values his friendship.
