Considering Rusty tells MC that all DIK phones are interconnected, and that some of the photos from the Chad-Dawe blackmail are selfies, maybe their phones were hacked? I once thought Quinn was behind all this, but the more time passes, the less she seems to be a suspect. She's not gaining anything by having the DIKs and the Alphas fight, especially considering that because of Chad beating the MC and the teachers watching over the Alphas, Dawe cancelled whatever business she had with Quinn, which prompted her plan to be hired by the Preps. It could also be a coincidence she didn't expect though.
Overall, the Chad blackmail, the Cathy cluck, and maybe the trashing of the mansion, are very likely to be connected (and the Jade video sent to Stephen if in her route). And whoever is behind it should have some hacking knowledge. Of course Nick is the most obvious one, but it's just too convenient. DPC likes to leave clues here and there, so there must be something. Someone has to gain something from all this drama, apart of DPC of course.
