So, expert
ename144, is this a respectable mansion score going in to Ep 7 or could it be improved?

Seems good to me. The highest I managed to plan out was 71510, but that was a rather meta-gamey plan that I didn't like. So I'm keeping it in reserve just in case DPC goes all killer GM on us.
I agree with much of what you wrote, but not the highlighted part
Quinn has had no chance to stop for now, she is like a gambler who is losing a lot of money, so much so that continuing to gamble is the only way she can see.
She's lost every bet she's ever made (the preps, Mona, the last shipment, the cocaine for Rick...) and she's basically worse off than she was at the beginning.
and we still don't know what she needs this money for, what hole she has to plug.
I'll admit, it is rather speculative just how much latitude Quinn has to walk away from her empire. Quinn is definitely worse off than she was at the beginning, but then again her response to pretty much any setback is to double down.
But I base my assessment on Riona's plan in Episode 3: go small, sell only what they need to, and keep things simple. Likewise, Riona threatening to walk away in Episode 6 makes little sense if she (and by extension Quinn) really are being forced to run the empire under duress.
I'll certainly trust Riona's judgement over Quinn's, which inclines me to believe that Quinn does have better options that she's ignoring because they aren't "big" enough for her taste. I'm prepared to be proven wrong by future information, though.
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I've never disliked Quinn at all. She's always been hot and maybe that's why, thinking with my dick and all that, but I also kinda liked her ballsyness (if that's even a word) and figured she'd probably end up as this tragic character, doing bad things for a good reason, or at least a good reason in her view, and that she'd be someone we can either save or let drown.
I've never liked Quinn; I don't mind her swagger, but I'm not a fan of the punk look, I have no regard for pimps or drug dealers, and I did like Maya. But I try not to judge people on their worst impression, so I wanted to give Quinn some time to see if she made any better impressions.
By Episode 3 it became clear she really didn't have much regard for other people, even her putative friends. Still, that was also the time it became clear she was a lot less competent than it first appeared. So while I solidified in my dislike for Quinn, she seemed a little too pathetic to hate. So now I basically take the view that I will try to help Quinn when possible, but I'm not going to do it on her terms. If she's going to insist I patronize her restaurant, dump Maya, or otherwise coddle her delusions before she'll accept a helping hand, then unfortunately she is going to be on her own.
Guess we're all wandering down memory lane with Quinn today; I hope this isn't an ill omen for her in Episode 7!
It's just a guess. It seems like Stephen would do anything to keep his pussy buffet open for business. He obviously lied his ass off to Jade when he said "three" times. Mona appears to have been the only one to tell him, "It's not happening." And Quinn got seriously pissed about it and started talking about how Stephen might flip the story and take it out on Mona. Meaning Stephen has done that before. To Quinn? To Cathy?
As I recall, he said "three" students, not necessarily three times. And as far as we know, Quinn's restaurant had three girls prior to Cammy: Riona, Sarah and Mel. We know Cammy had only been on the menu for about a week at the time Stephen said that, and she's limited her work to glory holes. So I wouldn't dismiss Stephen's claim as a lie just yet.
It's true (barring some serious disaster on DPC's part).
