Anyone that isn't interested in the after-taste of the real Cum Slut.
I think it's more on realizing that she got crabs?
I mean MC doesn't mind screwing the other HOT sluts.
I'm not sure any of the other girls have quite as many notches in their belts. Even the ones that work for Quinn.
They are cumsluts too. Just not as notorious like Ariel. I'm just trying to say that the difference between other girls and Ariel is that she got STD so MC got to thinking about kissing Derek instead. (That scene was hilarious).
When the mc says to Derek, "You know exactly why" I'm sure it's all about the crabs, except it's not likely you'll get crabs from kissing someone, but in Arieth's case, she's already "huba huba"ing up for the MC, so you don't really want to egg her on.
Exactly, also that kinship will have the only task that the others had, to explain a behavior without needing to explain it for real, cheap and lazy
I don't know if it's cheap and lazy to do that. Considering the lengths DPC went to set the Chad/Troy/Mel triangle up, the various subtle and not so subtle scenes:
- The information that Troy is an ex-Jock for unknown reasons,
- Mel or Sarah being an obvious candidate as the "side bitch" but then being on the treadmill during Chad's gym phone sex,
- This vague discussion between Mel and Sarah when Sage is kissing the mc on the lawn,
- The blackmail to Chad (that I believe may have come from Mel to force Chad's hand),
- The numerous references to Mel & Sarah liking gossip, but their seriousness when it comes to Chad's relationship,
- The flashback scene showing Chad disinterested in puppy dog Sage,
- The pre-breakup scene with Chad and Sage when she confronts his lack of interest,
- The exasperation in Chad's face during the breakup,
- Mel's unhappy reaction to the breakup scene (even though it's what she wanted),
- The Jocks chatting about Chad's pleasant demeanour since he's left he jocks and his role as president,
- Mel (and Sarah's) continuing support for Chad after the Sage breakup.
All of the above was to build the Chad, Troy, Mel and Sarah story, and it works if Mel is related to Troy and working towards what she wants for him.
She could also be an ex-girlfriend of Troy's who realised his secret and wants to help him with it, or even just a good friend, but being a family member makes more sense considering Mel doesn't come across as a girl that gives too much of a shit about anything, but family is different.
If Mel is Troy's sister, that's not a ridiculous coincidence, it's a requirement for this story arc to work, it might not have happened if she wasn't involved.
That's very different to Tommy and Josy being step-siblings. Almost nothing in the story hinge on that, so it is just a simple fact in the game. Same goes with Tybalt being Jade's son.
With Maya and Derek, we have a lot of their past presented to us. Their relationship with their father, their trips together (including Josy), and their care towards each other. It's certainly not a lazy plot contrivance.
Your comment earlier, that it would have been better if Maya hosted the mc without the prompting of her brother, I don't agree there.
She knew him for one day, sure they hit it off, but the mc would never have asked her if he could stay with her (he wouldn't have known she had the room). Plus she loved her extra room, it wouldn't make any sense her offering it up to a guy she just met.
Derek had to call on a favour to talk her doing it. Given everything we know about her, if she just outright found out the mc was homeless and offered her space to him, it would have been criticised as unrealistic.
To me, none of the above is lazy, it's actually a well construed sequences of life events. It works because it is what it is. Take one element out and it doesn't work.
But if we start having more surprise family relationships popping up out of the woodwork, I reserve my right to scrap all this and say it's becoming bullshit.
But this obviousness is rather veiled.
Yes, the man is looking for his daughter, that is undeniable. But what is in dispute is whether his daughter is Sage.
At this point in EP5, there are 3 possible girls in the Preps mansion and one with the Alphas. Sage, Elena and Ashley are in the same house. Sage is hiding, Elena is comforting Ashley and Ashley is being comforted by Elena. Arieth is with the Alphas. All four are positioned so that they cannot be found by the red braid. Which of the four red-haired girls is the red braid looking for? I don't know.
But Sage herself gives us clues about her father in EP5 and EP6 when the MC comforts her. Wait, he's comforting Sage. Why is he comforting Sage? Kind of for the same reason Elena is comforting Ashley.
In EP5, we learn that Sage's father is there to lick ass and create business opportunities. Now let's switch from "search" mode to "exclusion" mode. The guy with the pigtail is not looking for a way to make and/or save money. Yes, he wants to talk to 4 people. But they belong to the university. Professors and teachers. Maybe it's about selling pencils. Sarcasm. But there's someone else at the party who is definitely talking about making money and saving money.
In Ep6, we learn from Sage about the emotional deficits in her family. Compare that to the pigtail wearer and the knowledge that he's not actively looking for new business opportunities at the party.
Let's stick with the suggestion, not the proof, of comforting. Elena comforts Ashley and in EP6 the MC comforts Sage. The reason. Ashley and Sage are having problems with a man. From this we can conclude that Elena and the MC care about their friends. Now let's look at the red braid again. In two situations at the preps party, it helps the MC not to draw too much attention to himself. With the two students and with the two older men who are talking about making money and saving money. The red braid helps as it does with Elena Ashley and the MC Sage. Oh yeah, there are two men talking business. (I just wanted to mention it separately again, you know, that's the thing about sarcasm).
Now, if we put the information from EP5 and EP6 into context, the following picture emerges. The red braid is a father, only who is his daughter? Sage doesn't seem to be, though, due to the exclusion mode. The guy with the short red hair, on the other hand, fits better the personality description Sage gave us as information about her father.
I'm not obsessed with incest. I just don't take ambiguity for granted.
Shazba, if you read this, you'll notice two things. There are several situations and scenes where Sage reveals information about her family. So there is a connection. But what else are we learning? It's also about family. (I just wanted to explicitly mention that again. Sarcasm again).
The one with my lead sentence works. 3 times, wait, now 4 times, sarcasm mentioned. So intentionally on my part.
I guess there's time to rehash the whole, "Who is Sage's dad" debate again, before episode 8 is released.
That whole Elena/Ashley parallel with MC/Sage (regarding both being comforted after a breakup) is just randomly unrelated. Girls at college being fucked over by guys. There's nothing more to it. Ashley and Derek's story is just a small side line. Sage's breakup is a huge development.
I think this link sums up all the ways that the man bun dude is Sage's dad:
And some other stuff just to further cement it:
People actually think this is CSI:Miami or Sherlock or something, lol. All theories like that include Quinn overdosing, dying or getting jailed for "some reason"
. Chances of Lily being undercover is as likely as likely as Jill deepthroating MC's dick. Cop Lily theory is completely baseless and a stupid theory.
She's been working for a long time at The Pink Rose.
Enrolls to B&R as a reject.
DIKs constantly ask her to join HOTs, she says okay okay, cool and does it.
All the girls of The Pink Rose are close to each other, they know everything about each other(maybe Madame doesn't hang out with them but idk).
In Sandy/Nicole scene, Sandy asks if Nicole has anything to smoke, Nicole says no, she's out. If you are able to solve the equation of "what is 2+2?", you know they are not talking about cigarettes.
Meanwhile Lily hears that Quinn is in drug trade from Mona being blabbermouth.
As the girls in The Pink Rose are out of weed, Lily's looking to buy some for all the girls.
Guessing Quinn is not selling them overpriced, she asks to buy. It's that simple. What's the actual base for that theory? (I know it's not necessary here, you can say anything you believe in your dreamland and pretend it's real here, that's the norm but eh)
If you are delusional enough to seriously believe Lily is actually an undercover cop, Magnar's girl and KRJ is an undercover cop too. Hell, KRJ is actually a fed. She even has an ear device for communicating with DEA feds!!!1!11!!
I don' think I'd like it if Lily turned out to be a cop...
The scene that got people's minds racing was this:
Lily: "I was just looking out for Mona."
Lily: "Trying to do my part as a sister and all."
Lily: "But then she mentioned drugs..."
Quinn: "Nope, I'm not playing your game."
and so it goes on...
Just sounds like entrapment, and Quinn is playing it off that way just to be cautious. But by the end of the scene, they're doing business. That either means Quinn is fucked, or the girls at the Pink Rose are gonna be happy. I'm thinking it's the latter, it's too early for Quinn to be fucked by anyone but the MC.
