Hmmm. The last time we had a Jill playing piano preview, I thought the concert might finally be upon us and it turned out to be more rehearsal. This is clearly just rehearsal, so maybe this is meant to hide the fact we'll get the real concert by the end of Episode 8?
Or maybe I'm just starting to absorb some of Dalli's madness through osmosis?
Melanie being Troy's sister is certainly the easiest way to explain her apparent role in the Chad/Troy relationship, so I'm inclined to favor it for now. (Her being Chad's sister can work, but it would interfere with the looming subplot where Sage suspects Melanie of sleeping with Chad behind her back.)The Melanie/Troy theory is based on some (albeit vague) evidence:
So why would she behave like this? There's heaps of possibilities, and being related to Chad or Troy is one of them. I pick Troy 'cause she looks more like a Troy sister than a Chad sister, but that's pretty arbitrary. Sure, she could have been a childhood friend, or an ex-girlfriend, but if Chad has managed to hide his homosexuality from Sage for the years they have been together, it's unlikely that too many people would know about it, family could be one exception (i.e. family of the side bitch).
- She's aware of Chad's relationship even before Chad has broken up with Sage.
- It's clear Melanie has an invested interest in Chad breaking up with Sage (Mel's discussion with Sarah when Sage and the mc are kissing on the lawn).
- The way Melanie reacts during the actual breakup fight, she's very upset (for Sage) but it's obvious, (from the previous discussions with Sarah) that ultimately it's what she wants.
Compare all that to: Jill has a dead sister called Lana, she must be related to the mc's dead mom called Lynette because... they're both rich... dead... bitches... There's fuck all reasoning there. That's the difference between the Lana/Lynette theory and the Troy/Melanie theory.
Still doesn't mean either of them are right or wrong, but one is founded in some form of reasoning, the other is just random.
Plus, I find the parallel relationship of Melanie/Sarah and Chad/Troy to Derek/MC and Maya/Josy oddly amusing. It's sort of a distaff analog to the scenario where the MC shows minimal interest in the two but still wants to help them out. (It would be even funnier if it turns out Sarah really does have a thing for both of them and we get Chad agonizing over whether he's really bi...)
That's an interesting thought. Heather agreeing to a threesome when she knows about Tommy being +3 (either in a misguided attempt to maintain Tommy's attention or to reinforce her claim when she decides to even the tally) is not entirely implausible. But it doesn't really explain Tommy's bad attitude the next morning; if she agreed to it, why wouldn't he be happy? Even if the threesome was something she wanted not him, it seems highly unlikely he'd object.Yeah not even a little bit sidetracking is allowed it seems... Let's see what happens with the B52 history lessons then.
On-topic, a bit of a shame you don't really see the results of Heather drinking it (or is she one of the girls laying in the bed with Tommy?)
You can carry more cash: you can pay to upgrade your wallet in the final free roam of Episode 7. It's not cheap, but it sure beats the hell out of wasting that money on Madame.It was a bad setup considering you have the VIP pass but still need loads of cash to get her scenes that don't last very long. I thought when DPC changed the system to numbers $5 instead of $$$$$ it would mean we can carry more cash but unfortunately that's not the case. Most people would rather save their money than waste loads on a repeat visit to madame.
