Unwanted thoughts on Ch7
SPOILERS AHEAD
I have the feeling that Lily is working for someone to potentially take down Quinn. She's unafraid of what Quinn thinks and her approaching Quinn was way too forward. Maybe Burke or the police.
At the party, if you go with her, she peppers you with a bunch of leading questions. Are you with anyone? Are you going to be bad? Trying to figure out if you can be a help to her in taking Quinn down, because you can be a use to her, in the future. Also, afterward, she's immediately on the phone. Not sure if her talking in the hallway to Sage is related to it or to Maya's situation.
I've read about Lily possibly wanting to take over the drug/pimping operations, and. . .that also works.
Chad being gay ONLY really affects the MC if you're with Sage. Otherwise, there's no drama. If you are with Sage and tell her about Chad, then it starts a whole bunch of drama about it. If you're with her and DON'T tell her about Chad, she'll find out and get pissed at you for not telling her. DPC may find a way to embroil you either way, but at this point, if you're a non-Sageaholic, that whole arc is immaterial.
In my DIK and M+J run I'm trying (sorry) to drive any wedge I can find between Maya and Josy, because I want Josy for myself. Josy clearly is into the MC far more than Maya ever could be and it seems the only realistic long term option between the two.
Quinn is in trouble. She's fraying at the edges and that's one reason she's growing closer to the MC. She sees him as a bit of a life preserver as well as being attracted to him and his Rod of Power.
She is battling her instincts; being a bad ass bitch who has to look out for herself, and what she may long for; someone she can count on who doesn't need to be tricked to like her.
I also think that DPC was too hasty earlier in the story with the needles, because later on she seems to be unsure how to proceed with a baggie of coke. If you're injecting something, I'm doubtful that coke is a line to cross. Sorry for the bad pun.
Jill, I think, has grown up thinking that rich people loveless and for-convenience marriages are what is normal and expected. That may be why she just sort of floats with all the Tybalt crap. When the MC arrives and actually touches her heart, she is flummoxed and conflicted and wants more of this crazy little thing called love. She could be the most loyal woman of all.
I think there will be a division point between the Bella and Jill paths, which you can easily sail on as of now. At some point, they will want you to decide. Bella is a ball of sexual and sensual fury. It will be hard to ignore that.
Sage might revert to her former bitchy superior self IF she's only attracted to the MC because she feels a bit unlovable because Chad cheated on her. If she finds out Chad left her because he's gay, she might get a spring of self confidence because "it wasn't ME, it was HIM" and toss the MC aside.
Sage is a well nuanced character and as sexy as hell. Plus we know what she'll look like when she gets older, because of BARS.
Maya looked super cute in this episode, especially her hair in the library with the blue top. Damn!
I think both Derek and Arieth are smarter than they have come across. Maybe Derek gave his dad a key to Maya's dorm and maybe Arieth orchestrated the attack on the DIK house. There are surprises aplenty in DPC games.
My girls in order of who I enjoy:
*Josy, Bella
*Sage, Jill, Camilla
*Quinn, Jade, Lily
*Cathy, Riona, Heather, Sarah, Melanie
*Arieth, KRJ (sorry)
