Theory of Preps Party, Cathy Cluck, and tuition.
Quinn has only received one scholarship so far. The second scholarship was to go to Mona. See screenshot.
QP - Wallace Resource Scholarship 2.qp.
QP = Quinn Plan
ID 2022-1005 Contact Information
EP5 Mona should receive contact information.
Who is the first to have a scholarship for B&R? Chad. Who was Chad's spokesperson in Stephen's office? Cathy. Who is the one who is almost gloating to Cathy? Chad. This screenshot could show everything we need to know.
From left to right. Melanie was there from the beginning. She probably took the photo of Cathy. Cathy's cackling makes her angry. The girl is a reference to Mona's farewell to college. It's a touching farewell scene that also reminds me of Cathy and Rusty. A snippy Chad greets Cathy.
Cathy probably has something to do with QP - Wallace Resource Scholarship 1.qp. I mean no harm to Cathy now. But it could be that Cathy knew something about Chad's homosexuality and got him a scholarship through dubious means. But who would Chad and/or Troy be screwing? Stephen Burke. Melanie and Sarah probably know about it. That's why Sarah tells Sage to think she's a slut, because the truth is much worse for Sage.
Now if you think that's bullshit, you're wrong. The MC can fuck Sage's mother too. Why is Stephen Burke so happy when he sees the video of Jade and the MC? He has an MC who looks like Troy with short hair, and if Jade fucks him, he can do that too, or all three of them together. The perfect solution for Stephen to hide his probable bisexuality and act it out at the same time.
Based on the farewell scene, I could guess that Cathy and Rusty have helped several students get scholarships behind Stephen Burke's back. What makes you think that? The last time Cathy spoke to MC, she told him that she had always had opportunities. That's not surprising if you know enough scholarship donors. Now if a scholarship donor goes to Stephen on her own and wants to sponsor a student, Stephen wouldn't suspect anything, wouldn't know about sex, and would do the paperwork.
But Quinn finds out. How, doesn't really matter. There are lots of ways to do it. But she wants to expand. She's introducing the Cathy Cluck and wants to grow the business that way, but she has to get rid of Cathy. That would bring in more profit than the restaurant. The preps party is to make contacts with scholarship donors. She tells Stephen everything she knows, and Stephen recognizes an opportunity to make money. With the restaurant, candidates are found.
The situation between Mona and Stephen may have been Stephen's first contact/attempt to give contact information to a scholarship donor. But Mona doesn't get involved. She leaves and "QP - Wallace Resource Scholarship 2.qp" is deleted. But Mona goes to the press. Whether Anonymous or Personal doesn't matter. Drip a little blood in the water and the sharks come.
That leaves two options for Maya's tuition.
1. Maya gets a clean tuition bill. That gets Stephen positive press. What does Quinn say to Mona? A man like him would reverse the facts. (Mona lied to Maya for Quinn in EP6. Karma is a bitch).
2, If Stephen has seen the video, he will exploit it for himself. He will blackmail the MC. If the MC gives in to the blackmail, Maya will get her tuition and the MC will become Stephen and Jade's sex slave. (Karma is a bitch.)
I'm just curious what Cathy is doing. Did Stephen maybe tell Cathy to quit her job? Does her new job have something to do with revenge? Will she maybe work with Mona later on?
