Interesting. You are right that as staged, Quinn couldn't be pointing at the MC et al by the front entrance. The question now is if that is deliberate misdirection or an error on DPC's part.View attachment 815917
So not to derail what people were talking about previously but i have a question about the above scene. This was where Quinn was filling Riona in on getting Sage to make the deal with the Preps. (I think) But who is it that Quinn is supposed to be pointing to? I figured it was the MC but unless there is a little bit of continuity error or i'm just not getting this scene, the MC is across the road on the other side of the street while Derek is busy getting his ass chewed out by Jade at the feminist rally.
So if Quinn was supposed to be pointing at MC, have we seen yet what she's planning with MC by the end of Ep5 and did she mean planning something with MC in regards to Sage knowing they're "Close" or? (Basically in case i've missed or simply misread something) Cheers
I'm inclined to chalk this up to a blocking error. If Quinn is pointing to something entirely off camera throughout the scene, that rather defeats the purpose of foreshadowing; we'd have no way of knowing who it was and the link would be just as obscure even after the eventual reveal.
As for what she is pointing at if it's something on screen... I originally thought Quinn's next move would be after the plan with Sage played out. But looking back in the wake of Episode 5, I've changed my mind. Quinn is pretty devastated when after the preps party is terminated, which suggests the plan to get "right back on track" has failed.
I think the Preps were the second move. Quinn wanted to open up a big, rich market by using Sage's connection to Tybalt. In her mind, asking Sage to set up an invite for the HOTs was a move in its own right. The money Tybalt paid them would go to the HOTs as cover for step two: a chance to make her sales pitch to Tybalt in person. Quinn though she could use Sage to secretly open up a lucrative new market for her. So I think she was pointing at Jade - Tybalt's rich mother.
Obviously, this plan turned out to be rather short on details. Or a basic understanding of the desires of her would-be customers. But she herself admits it wasn't the best plan.
