Same here. Mona was/is Camila's friend and even though she's doing it, you can tell Camila's not entirely comfortable with what's going on. It could be like a wake up call to Camila that maybe this isn't worth it and it could lead to her and Riona banding together to try and find a way out or even a way to make Quinn stop.
She might get some pot from Quinn but that doesn't necessarily mean she knows the full extent of what Quinn does. Remember that in Ep 5, after the Prep party, she questions Riona about why they had to do that to get money for the HOTs since, as she says, they make enough money from their volunteer and community work. If Heather knows about the extensive drug dealing that Quinn does, she'd know that it's this that gives the HOTs all that money and she'd outright say it to Riona since she'd know her involvement too, but she doesn't. She seems to genuinely believe that the volunteer and community work is what pays their bills.
the prostitution of course she does not! the drugs she knows! on how much she knows i have my doubts, but the consumption she knows since she is part of it! that is also why i added that it might be Tommy forking it up for her and she only knows that they do drugs! also the money is not for the HOT
from my evaluation Quinn only sells, the other girls do the sex job and they use that money to pay for the drugs! As for the tuition i believe its a mix of new tail for Stephen and blackmail! Quinn is in a position to blackmail Stephen not the other way around! Quinn did do a threesome with the MC but that is because she really really badly badly wanted his dick... and a threesome where she is paid off gives her deniability in regards to her own feelings (not being emotionally exposed so to speak) and she even had the proper backup in Rhyona being there, she acts tough but she is afraid of everyone and of herself!
Ad for not being worth it... Stephen gets young tail once a semester and the girls save up that semester cash/debt! Quinn uses it so the girls get enticed into the life which brings those girls money they can use to acquire extra drugs and that is how she makes her money, that is why its so important for her to "expand" so her market demand increases! not that she only sells to her hookers but hookers have more money! The way i see it the money is for her and that is why she has money problems she must cut from the business her own consumption without selling her ass! Since they just returned from summer vacation the money problem is explained by a massive cut in her income for the last 2/3 months!
Somehow i also suspect she is also using this as a way to either create a financial pillow or more probably using it to pay her dad/Rox protection money in jail and with access to drugs!
so the life is well worth it since its at least 20.000 every semester working what? 5 minutes playing with Stephen balls? as for the real prostitution ring and not just the Stephen escapades it depends the emotional and psychological toll for such girls is extreme and it actually affects her mood and self esteem in dramatic ways!
psychologically it works in tandem with Biology, women use sex to get and keep men if the sex does not keep a man around and her body has to deal with different types of sperm(ph levels and "stuff") it provokes an epigenetic reaction where in the worst cases women will become allergic to semen! On the psychological level she will start to think she has no value and she is only good for the sex part and it does not matter that we can rationalize it as a business transaction biology and millions of years of evolution do not understand those concepts it only understands that she gave it up and at night there is nobody to hug her to sleep and therefore depression and increased drug use fallow such women as a way to deal with the emotional pain!
So no it does not compensate but the money is good i knew one girl that retired at the age of 30 with a paid house a new bmw and over 1 million euros in the bank... just do not research what is a Dubai potty potter!
The scholarship Burke deletes has to be fake, as a front for the “free tuition”, otherwise why would Mona accept to prostitute herself out to pay for her college tuition when she already has a scholarship (it might not be a full scholarship, but even so)?
it does not need to be fake! plenty of companies give out scholarships particularly to girls for the equality battle! If Stephen is indeed wealthy he can just call one of the CEO`s of one of the companies where he has a qualified participation and ask for a scholarship in exchange for his vote on the next general assembly where the CEO wants to be reinstated!
Ofc that a company that can afford that is worth hundreds of millions so Stephen to have a qualified participation must have invested in that company a few millions (or a few thousands and the company given the time value of money ...)
