It's a definitely weird storyline overall. Especially the way the characters are written until now. For us, Burke has always been painted as a villain, deserving everything what's happening to him. But we've never seen his heinous acts. Burke has never been anything but friendly with other characters, not just the MC.Read again the entire Intro situation from EP3. Jade assumes they are students, no response from Stephen. Then Jade asks how many times Stephen cheated on her (no female students are mentioned, just how many times he cheated on her). Stephen answers with 3 times.
Stephen does not even confirm that they are female students. This was an assumption by Jade. That he cheated on her is clear. But Cathy is gone and he lunges at Isabella and not a female student.
I'm not sure Stephen forgives the class for having sex.
What if this is all Quinn's doing, too? She matches tutors with girls, and the tutor then contacts Stephen to tutor for the girl. Sex with interns is hot too.
What if Stephen in EP5 didn't want to force Mona to have sex with 3 old men, but the tuition giver did? Maybe Stephen wanted to get to the bottom of the tutoring rumors. That would also put the newspaper article in a different light.
Maybe Mona also had to leave because she didn't tell Stephen for fear of Quinn. Quinn is threatening that Stephen won't allow prostitution and that Mona's reputation would be ruined.
Just food for thought.
So it's likely Quinn twists things, in hopes of gaining some kind of advantage, which is unlikely as she's completely incompetent and she has no financial or political power to deal with Burke and whoever else is above her on the ladder.
We never got the confirmation that Cathy had sex with Burke though. Sure, Jade thinks that she did it, but at least I don't remember it happening. As for Isabella, I doubt Stephen has any chance there. She already rejected him like two times and if he tries to blackmail her into having sex with him (which I seriously doubt, since it doesn't fit his character), it will backfire on him.
