Honestly I think Jill got shafted this episode by DPC needing to scramble and create some way of ending the relationship he’s railroaded everyone onto. It has to end eventually for the solo routes and I think DPC fucked himself by creating, and fixing, a relationship drama in the space of an episode so Jill had an exit ramp.Yeah, in the end MC and Jill will resolve that issue, they have the means and the power of love Jill informing the MC of the blackmail at the end of their date is just a way to create more dramas in a romantic situation, which result in an endless debate like this where their fans is going against haters. who jumps at every chance they can get to criticize the flaw of the character. I know some of us are angry that Jill was passive this time, but who knows, maybe in the next episode she will show what a Royce is capable of
I think next episode the hammer will drop for everyone on the DIK routes and who actively chose not to go on the date. Jill will decide the risk is too great and give into the blackmail. Either because you missed the date and didnt persuade her (for the CHICKs who don’t wanna date her) or your affinity makes it clear Tybalt is partially right about you.
Conversely if you’re on her route you will start this super secret and easy to write relationship. I fear Jill has just been excised from this story she was baked into quite deep. If the relationship is secret he can drop her scenes in with zero hassle, and if she’s ghosting him her absence won’t be missed. He won’t have another Maya/Josy situation on his hands where they need to be around even if you dumped them.
I think the Jill route will still be good, I just think all the fuckery this episode is ground work for her to be able to leave the story based on routes.
