well Tybalt could easily argue that the sprinkle system prevented it from happening but the accusation of starting a fire is still there, because there are "witnesses", lets not forget, its not just prep and hots in there, they have other guests too.
just like other said what mc must do is to find something to blackmail Tybalts back. anyway this blackmail drama is nothing compare to whats coming for Josy and Maya. even Bellas.
An accusation with neither proof nor witnesses, they only witnessed the sprinkler going of, for whatever reason.
If he would involve the police because of his accusation, there obviously would be a investigation by experts, which would find nothing.
Don't forget that Jill as well Rustys family are influential and have money, so i wouldn't be so sure the guests/preps would do false statements, just because Tybalt can't get the women he wants.
The problem is only how Jill reacts...in previous ep's she was shown headstrong and ready to go even against MC's wishes to stop bullying. Here she just accepts the blackmail, without even checking out what happened, or use her head to see that Tybalts accustions are bs and that she should punsh him in his face as he brings this up.
Yeah Mayas loan/tutation issues sound as they would also require the suspension of disbelief, at least from what she said about the threats of her father...
For Josy ? At worst they break up, all the drama comes from Mayas side.
As for Bella...i don't even want to speculate after seeing all this silly, exaggerated drama, but it will be worse.
Honestly i fully agree with Bacchus at this point.
Again, I think we're past the point of getting any kind of easy, logical resolutions to anything in this game as it's now seemingly about ramping up a lot of extreme and often unnecessary drama just for the sake of it.
