I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but Heather likes Absinthe Neat.

Spoiler: You can find the absinthe here

ok ill try ask it different, you know when you go to make them and then chose who its for? it wont let me chose heather but with the mod it shows which she likes which means you can give her a drink.. so im wondering how do you get to even make it for her, do i need to do anything to make it happen? when i talk to her it doesnt give me the option to ask if she wants a drink or anything

thats what it shows

So the video is still an advantage to Burke. He can either blackmail Jade into taking nothing from him or he can use it in court as proof of her adultery and swing the vote to his side.

I'm not sure she'll divorce him though. as she said when she found out he was cheating on her with cathy, she decided her family/children (don't remember correctly) is/are what's important to her. so, as most people stay together for the kids, unless she decides her kids have grown up enough to take that sort of drama, she's most likely not doing it

then again, the scholarship deals might be just enough to push her into divorcing him

I'd be surprised if Burke actually tried to coerce Maya into some sort of sexual reciprocation for help with her tuition, particularly based on the kind of girl she is, and considering Sage is aware that he is helping her, and if Jade is involved in the meeting.

Obviously he's not going to propose anything slimy in the meeting, that's not what I'm talking about, but the fact that so many people will be involved in knowing Maya's predicament, trying to coerce anything from her (at a later time) once he has found out how desperate she is would be very dangerous for him.

this was my thought (presented as a wild theory though because I doubt things can be that simple) a few weeks ago as well. their daughter is coming up to them to ask them for a favour. unless sage is in on the whole prostitution chain, maya jsut might get the scholarship without having to give "something" in return. but if things go sideways, somehow I believe jade might pull a rabbit out of the hat, side with maya and help her out regardless of stephen

Sorry dude, I updated my original post but it must have been after you read it, just check it again, below the screen shot. The other thing to add is you need to choose to kick the alphas out when that choice comes up (the obvious DIK option so I'm sure you went with that on your DIK run).

you need to tell her about tommy being +3 to get the option to give the drink to her

I think you need talk to about the jock sleeping in her bed and about Tommy cheating on her.

You need to be on the "get rid of the Alphas" path at the party, then find the one dude asleep on Heather's bed, and go to the kitchen to tell her. After that, you can tell Heather that Tommy's getting some without her, and she asks you for a strong drink. Make the absinthe drink, I think she wants a second one, and then the next morning when you go to visit Tommy, there's two girls in his bed instead of one.

Would Maya confide in anyone (particularly the mc or Sage) if Burke crossed the line? If she did, Burke would be toast.

Also, it's one thing for Jade to know he's unfaithful to her, but to find out he's coerced a girl into sexual favours as repayment for some assistance, I think Jade would cut his balls off.

It's possible Burke could say things to keep Maya silent, but it's just too much of a risk.

I don't think Maya and the prospect of proposing prostitution is likely.

I think there will be a number of factors that play into the scene with the Burkes and Maya, and they will be things like:

• Does the mc still have a relationship with Jade
• Did the mc just recently end the relationship with Jade
• Did Burke see the video footage of the mc and Jade (not sure if the footage he saw actually identified the mc, in the scene where Burke is watching it, we didn't actually see the mc's face)
• Is the mc in a relationship with Sage
• Is the mc in a relationship with Maya
• Did the mc recently end his relationship with Sage

Now all of the above could be relevant, but it's also quite possible the Burkes/Maya solution could be a simple linear plot component that is not influenced by the past at all, but imagine if the mc's past actions actually had any bearing on whether they helped Maya or not. That would be interesting.

Sometimes the solution can be easier than one could imagine

Buker could pay part of her tuition with a scholarship and he would offer Maya a job at the university and she pays the rest.

A job cleaning the glory holes perhaps?

 

[Casiope]

Baseless theory time.

No way Burke just outright solves Maya's problem for her in the next episode. It's too early in the game for her to have this issue solved, this plot element has only worn out it's welcome twice over and I predict at least 8 fold being required before it dies. Similarly, his rejecting her can't just be a dead end plot wise... No way this season opens with him saying no and everyone just shrugging their shoulders and moving on.

So when he says "no" it has to go somewhere and saying no could raise questions from Jade. My theory is Stephen is currently using the scholarships from local businesses to pay for the restaurant girls. They, as part of the deal, have to sleep with the people funding the scholarships outlined in the newspaper article. When Maya comes to the Burkes Jade would be aware of the scholarships but not the "extras" the girls have to provide and suggest it could fund Maya. Burke cant reveal what the girls have to do in exchange so he has to reject the idea, making Jade suspicious.

This is a solid theory that is not contradicted by the facts presented in the game. The prostitution ring managed by Quinn contributes both in the funding of the HOT house and in the scholarships of the girls who are involved in it, without Sage being aware of it. Stephen plays a more important role than just a client.

It remains to be discussed to what extent Jade suspects her husband and how she intends to act as this revelation is trouble. Maya is, for now, only a pawn in a larger scheming. But the one with the more insight and the most likely to expose the case stays Mona.

Between this story, and the plot around drug dealing (which connects to the strippers), I understand why some people refer to the series 21 Jump Street.

I don't see why the MC's actions would effect Maya at all vis a vis the Burke's. Sage didn't approach Maya to help her because she was a friend of MC, she approached her because she was a HOT.

Given that the mc doesn't even look to be going into the meeting, he may end up being completely unimportant to the deal, but if he goes into the meeting at some point, his relationship with Jade (and Burke's potential knowledge of it) could potentially hijack the meetings.

Fuck, that looks too hard to rate all the scenes! I don't even know my favourite one!

 

[Klopdwerg]

If we are judging by the flashback, then we safely assume that Bella's tragedy and the locked door really have something to do with James or something that happened to him (including that library monologue). While he did something in the past which Bella already forgave him for or he might have died before she forgave him, which lead to Bella's mental breakdown and it is something that she feels incredibly guilty about. The problem though, is that we are at the halfway point of the story and we really don't know that much about her past. So we are forced to pick at the little details and have to connect the dots.

I do think that locked door at Bella's place has a more deep meaning to it.
Like locking away emotions or experiences. After reading up on the theory that James is just a figment of the mind you can start connecting some dots. DPC mentioned doors at the end of episode 3. "Some need to be closed etc etc." So i think he is giving away a hint. We all know he likes to drop these hints.
What if that doors represents Bella's state of mind? Locking away her memories. For example when MC was at her home the first time she has a painting standing against the wall which she moved the next time. Probably inside that room.
She also get nervous, anxious when MC is standing next to it several times. And when he said "knock on wood"

I'd be surprised if Burke actually tried to coerce Maya into some sort of sexual reciprocation for help with her tuition,

It's not like he did any different with the other girls, he's just gonna have the talk, promise he will look into it and most likely Quinn will drop the hint to Maya how to proceed, either Maya delivers or Burke didn't manage to get a scholarship...
All girls involved happen to be member of the HOT's, All scholarships run through Quinn... Maybe Quinn will need some security aswell, (she will film it or whatever) but i don't see Burke delivering any scholarship without any returns...

tun grand merci

She will speak to all the girls about the word of the Lord



I did this as fast as I could so don't expect anything perfect

Isn’t Jade mutually exclusive with Maya/Josy route? End of Ep4 locks you out of the other if you pick one. Always seemed arbitrary but maybe it’s due to this.

If that was entirely on purpose your choice there might have some impact. Like I also said earlier I think Quinn will influence the outcome of this whole thing too.

If we’re lucky this could be a big route defining turning point. The Burke/restaurant thing will influence so much of the cast… Sage will be destroyed by the idea her father is pimping out her sorority sisters. All the girls themselves. Potentially Maya. Jill would hardly be unaffected by the world finding out the head of the school that uses her family name is pimping students.

So many of the characters are influenced by this. It would be a wasted opportunity for our choices to the matter and leave people feeling railroaded.

as LIs yes. but even if you're banging jade, you can still be maya's best friend and the guy sage thinks the world of (sort of). so, as far as impact on the decision in that room goes, I don't think who you're banging would affect it as much.
unless it's stephen. 0/10 would not bang

then again, if you broke up with jade... yikes. that might have a certain impact.

those are all more or less revealing variables in the story, but I doubt that any of them will be decisive on the overall outcome of Maya's meeting with Burke

Maya's destiny cannot be tied to MC's choices

even imagining Maya taking the risk of becoming a restaurant girl for me is completely outside of what BADIK is, it could happen in another game, not in this one
