After this episode the diks are the big losers, the mansion destroyed and capable on Monday they are left without their leader or even the fraternity depends on Cathy and her decision.Have the DIKs with ep.5 lost the epic war against the Jocks?
In the beginning of BaDIK, the DIKs are leading by drawing the HOTs away from the Jocks, thanks to Tommy's arrangement with Quinn. The Jocks retaliate by breaking the windows of the DIK mansion after the CUM-petition and scare the HOTs away from the party. (week 1, thursday)
After being blackmailed, Chad attacks mc and is suspended. This is more an accident for the Jocks than a victory for the DIKs. (monday + tuesday)
MC and Derek prank the Jocks (wednesday)
Someone (probably Jocks and HOTs) posts the Cathy cluck which puts Rusty in a bad spot. (friday)
After the Pledge Board evaluation the DIKs search for the HOTs and break the windows of the Jocks' house.
DIKs and Jocks fight (or not, depending on mc's major decision)
The Jocks retaliate by demolishing the empty DIK mansion. (saturday)
Tommy breaks with Quinn. (sunday)
Imho :
Breaking the windows of the Jocks' house in ep.5 was a bad idea, but it was still somehow covered by the old law of "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." When the Jocks escalate by mindlessly demolishing the DIK mansion, they (and DPC) crossed a border. The honor of the DIKs is severely damaged by this (and by not fighting Caleb). Rusty's decision to not involve the police means that he actually accepts this defeat. MC's suggestion to repair the mansion doesn't change the situation. For me it is hard to imagine how the DIKs could ever retaliate against the Jocks to compensate for the demolition and to restore their honor without getting in conflict with the law. (To be honest : I don't want to see mc breaking into the Jocks' house and mindlessly demolish everything there.) Since Rusty has to face a trial on monday (Cathy cluck) and the HOTs are now free again to party with whoever they want, it seems that the DIKs have lost the war on all fronts.
I shouldn't wonder if next week (episode) everybody in college calls the DIKs CHICKs.
The only way they redeem themselves is for them to do the same to the Jocks or find evidence that the jocks have something to do with Cathy's post.
