The thing is that it comes off more like an unhealthy obsession because there isn't a good foundation for her to just be a lovesick simp. If they were great friends the entire two months, the chemistry was off the charts, tons of sexual tension, that makes perfect sense. Or even just casual friends, occasionally talk and hang out like every other weekend or something, that's fine too.

But the date in Episode 1 is their first real interaction outside of work. That's why I feel like her massive crush is predicated almost entirely on the fact that MC is just a handsome guy she sees all the time, and can assign wants and desires to this blank slate because of the trouble with Maya. Fantasies of romance, dreams of lust, just to try and soothe her craving for intimacy. She's not on the level of the girl you're talking about, or Leah in Acting Lessons, but she's just so damn desperate now, it's sad.
That's a damn good description. Unhealthy obsession is an attempt to compensate for the lack of relationships and feelings that she doesn't receive from Maya due to their problems. In short, Josy is more in love with the image she has built in her head. This could end badly.

Quinn saw maya as an easy prey, someone who is so desperate that willing to do anything, and for a while maya did not give any indication that Quinn is wrong.
even sara and mel pointed out that maya is just Quinn plaything
But that was never the identikit of the girls in the restaurant. And it greatly increases the risks

It doesn't help that even in the throuple, Josy clearly favors MC over Maya. There's less baggage with him, no looming threat over his head that threatens his and Josy's relationship. If things go south, he is a lifeboat with a big dick. Unfortunately, Maya seems to feel the same way, stating that she feels more comfortable with MC than she ever did with Josy. If the throuple is to succeed, it will be a delicate balancing act.

Honestly, unless I'm favoring Josy/still have feelings for Josy, I choose Maya every time in Episode 10. That way Josy gets to retain her dignity, and Maya is more fun than her for this particular hangout. I also like how she's supportive of MC and his new relationship, even if he dumped her. She doesn't hold a grudge against whoever it is, and can see why we chose them over her and Josy. It's also nice how she points out that she and MC are in the same boat if you're dating Bella, all four of them have to hide their relationships.

Well, we kind of saw Quinn manipulating Cammy the same way, it was just easier since she s a natural born slut, Mona was likely the same, until she had to do "older guys".sara and mel, also natural born sluts, they however likely not required any manipulation.and Rio, well Rio has very low self respect, if she step out her line Quinn just slap her, and she obey again. its seems only sara and mel were the one who has the most freedom, they like doing it by their own now, after all the Restaurant plot is likely over anyway. It mostly existed for Maya's tuition storyline.

Personally I don't think the throuple is meant to succeed its suppose to come to a end. Both girls prefer MC over the other and even after months there relationship is still not good they don't even care that they didn't do anything for there anniversary which would had happen near the start of the game or during the summers months which would mean they wasn't together and even after being reunited they still didn't do anything. This relationship is meant to end with MC getting one of them

There is a theory that Josy/Maya will only be able to work successfully in Throuple if the MC made the right decisions, balancing them, and this seems plausible. Maya and Josy have very different personalities and it’s clear that the two of them don’t get along well.
Maya accepts the breakup very gracefully. Honestly, I didn't expect this. Previously, I thought that Maya would be the first to fall, knowing how vulnerable she was due to her situation and this would finish her off. But it was a very pleasant surprise and vulnerable girl in the constant victim status turned out to be much stronger. Experiencing her father’s pressure, it taught her that you can't be loved by force and can't control other people’s feelings. Such is life. She is tolerant, and to be honest, it’s good when you manage to maintain friendly relations with exes, without the usual “he/she is an asshole.” Maya has grown a lot in my eyes since Ep.10.
I will even say that Maya copes with a breakup better than anyone else, with full dignity. Sage and Isabella also cope well. It was hard for Jill, but damn, even Jill could do it! Jill! But for the full picture, I would like to see what Josy will be like in Episode 11 on this route. Can she make peace with MC? We'll see.
