I know that part, but "Quinn = Priscilla" is just Occam's razor: Stephen is made aware of the free tuition rumor, calls Priscilla, and then the next time we see him after the meeting with Maya is his meeting with Quinn, where he more than likely put an end to the whole thing, and Quinn seemingly confirms it by saying she's going to drop out.

That's why I'm asking in general, for those that do believe this, what is the point of Quinn being Priscilla? It'd be the same exact thing but with an extra step.
Pretty sure Quinn being Priscilla doesn't satisfy Occam's Razor. But whether it does or not, please tell me what you think Occam's Razor is about. Massive amounts of people don't understand it and try to apply it incorrectly. They are basically trying to take a shortcut to being smart without actually using their brains. So whenever I see people invoking it, I just get an intense urge to make sure they actually understand it and to get them to stop misusing it if they don't.

Before I answer, let me just say that's quite a demeaning response, it makes you come off somewhat insufferable, and it isn't the first time. There's more diplomatic ways to say I'm using it wrong, or less rude in any case.

That being said, the way I understand it is that the simplest answer is usually the best. And how I'm trying to apply it in this dumb Quinn = Priscilla theory, is in an attempt to try and see why people even come to that conclusion in the first place. Priscilla is mentioned that one and only time, after Stephen has a conversation with Maya regarding the free tuition. Quinn is deeply involved with the free tuition scheme, and is the only person who would make some sense, outside of an entirely different character (which it most likely is). We see they had some sort of conversation in Episode 10, and Quinn later states that she is thinking about dropping out, presumably because the entire thing is being shut down. So, is Priscilla just Quinn's name or a different person? I don't care, but I can see why some might think it's the former, and how a second person seems messy.

You are applying it correctly and I love you. I'm sorry I'm rude about it, but I've had some experiences with people really digging in their heels and using "simplicity" as an argument.

The key point in understand Occam's Razor is what is meant by "simple". People mistake simple phrasing for simple claims. "Everything in this book is true" is a very simple phrase but as a claim can entail a massive amount of assertions depending on the book.

The question is: does Quinn being Priscilla actually make things simpler?

We know that the free tuition rumour is a way to bring in recruits for the restaurant and we know that it is partly true. Stephen arranges scholarships for the restaurant girls. It's "free" in the sense that they pay with sex instead of money.

Stephen chews Quinn out because she got cocky and a potential whistle blower like Maya got involved.

If the phone call was to Quinn and DPC wanted keep her name out of it the simplest way to do that was to not mention a name at all. "It's Stephen. We need to talk." would have covered it.

We know the scholarship scheme involves older customers because that's why Mona got cold feet. It's practically certain that Stephen isn't running it solo. Someone else brings in the customers while he manages the girls. So Priscilla being someone else involved doesn't really complicate matters at all, especially if she is the actual mastermind, who would have to be introduced to the plot anyway.

Madame Rose being part of the scheme would justify the character's existence, but she doesn't have to be Priscilla or the mastermind. It would just be simplest of all if she is both.

Nothing will ever justify the character's appearance, though. DPC shall never be forgiven for that one.

Quinn = Priscilla theory,
The Quinn = Priscilla theory is definitely dumb, and I don't think it's the simplest solution in this case. While yes, Quinn is written to have some "street smarts" and to have at least some sort of intellectual mind. She's also shown to be clearly out of her depth, not as good as playing people as she thought, not as good as reading people as she thought and generally not as good aplayer as she thought. Now if DPC is indeed trying to push us to think they're the same person, he's totally missed the landing,as to me the simplest solution in this case is she's someone else.

Clearly Priscilla is going to be Lana, who after being rejected and disowned by her parents, the Royce of B&R created an elaborate scheme, where as she fakes her death, then creates a drug empire to bring down her families school

It's a shame there isn't more unique interactions with the girls for the second activity on Halloween. Sage gets the best (and only) one if you choose the haunted mansion, and that's pretty much it. Sure, Jill will get spooked and say "oh fuck!" and Bella will be insulted by Derek's story because he chooses her and her big titties for reference, but that's sort of it for notable stuff.
That Party had alot of Potential , that's true.

Oh. I'd like that, :) a Lana revenge story, where MC and Jill get to help out. That would be a fun path to play. :)

I don't really give a fuck about who Priscilla is, but I know some think it's Quinn, especially since we see Quinn leave his office in a huff during Episode 10. But I gotta ask... if it is Quinn, what's the point? Some brief extra mystery to tease fans with? What does "Priscilla" add to Quinn as a character, or to the story? What noticeable difference does it make calling her that instead of just Quinn?


It could have been a code name because they fear FBI phone surveillance IF he didn't state his real full name.

So, it must be someone else.

Maybe Priscilla is the real name of Madame Rose?

the point of those, not me, who believe they are the same person is that it is all a bluff that will generate a fake twist in which it will turn out that the third person involved in the restaurant is actually one of the 2 we already knew.

so the fact that it would have made more sense to express it differently has no value. it would be like saying that Sage could say that Burke was her father, she couldn't because otherwise no ‘fuck, fuck, fuck’

Quinn is involved in her restaurant, that's all and nothing more. She wants to achieve with the restaurant what others have achieved with free tuition. Who? Melanie and Sarah. You can read about that indirectly.

If anything, the Madame is this Priscilla, because Madame is just a title and not a name.

It could be that Madame is Priscilla and she talked to Stephen to shut down the prostitution ring in the school because of the mess quinn made

actually, it's not like anything much happened

no one knows about the restaurant (customers aside), Maya talked about this ‘free tuition’, but has no real proof, even Sage didn't believe her.

Burke reacts quite excessively, when among other things it would have been enough for him to fix Maya's scholarship to prevent her from continuing her interest in the free tuition.

Mona represents a far greater danger and yet apparently worries no one
