As others have been saying, Maya has been harping on about her problems for 6 episodes now, it'd be nice to get over that hump and start doing fun things. Is it time for spring break yet?
Sure, it would be nice to have a relatively uncomplicated time with her and all the other LIs, but I think we should know by now that nothing will be smooth sailing in this game. Each LI has their major issues to deal with and none will be wrapped up in a neat bow and forgotten about in a single episode. Even Sage's break-up with Chad doesn't seem like the definitive start to something good as there are still things to be dealt with there, but it doesn't mean that there can't be good, fun moments with her while these issues persist in the background and it's the same with all LIs.
The issues the different LIs and even side girls are dealing with will either subside for short periods or move to other phases, but they likely won't go away completely until the end of the game or near the end of the game. Maya's issues, for instance, will either move to this possible deception to fool her Dad into releasing her tuition money, or to her having to find a way to finance herself if there is a confrontation, but either way, it will still be an issue for her.
