My interpretation:
- Mona tried to find a client, but chickened out. Burke was there (he was either Mona's intended customer who didn't know who he was, or he saw Mona trying to find a customer, or he saw a crying student and wanted to know what was going on).
Mona is a risk to Quinn and the Restaurant because she knows, but ultimately doesn't want to participate. So she puts pressure on her, using Burke's presence to make her understand that she's screwed because the head of the college caught her trying to prostitute herself. And it works, because Mona leaves.
- As for Quinn coming out of his office and Burke denying Maya the scholarship, I explain this by the “Join HOT, get a scholarship” rumor.
He's heard the rumor, so he calls Quinn in to talk about it (his role as head of the college). Quinn started the rumor to get more dishes to serve in her restaurant. Her great plan screwed up again, and worse it draws attention to the HOTs and the Restaurant, so she has to lay low for a while and close the Restaurant.
As for Maya, granting her the scholarship is the same as making the rumor true. Hence the change of heart when she says she's a HOT member.
But... Burke is giving the free tuitution to the girls, its seen that he erases Monas free tuitution (or call it scholarship, its not just a rumor, its real, fuck for scholarship) after the incident in episode 5. (its seen at the end of episode 6) the scholarship is running under the name "wallace" as the sponsor, and of course Burke confirmed himself that he fucked at least 3 students, do you think they fucked him just for fun? No those girls are restaurant girls, and they need to do it for the scholarship, everything else would be a surprise. And yeah i do think that they need to fuck other "older men" too of course, but including Burke. Otherwise the deal is canceled, and no scholarship.
Monas payment was open, she didnt go through with the restaurant and had to leave because of that.
Burke is definitly a part of the restaurant, i have no doubt about it. And he pressures Quinn about it too.
For "Priscilla" we dont know who she is yet, but it can be Quinn, Burke called her, and just after that call Quinn is seen leaving Burkes office. Thats no coincidence, and i dont think Quinn is her real name, cause.... thats no fucking name. I guess her real name is Priscialla and she doesnt like it, so she called herself Quinn and doesnt use that name anymore... but Burke goes for it, cause its standing on her passport and of course to make clear who is calling the shots.
For Maya, Burke wanted to help her, he would have heped her and gave her the scholarship no doubt... until the point she mentioned the free tuitution... Thats a risk Burke cant take, and wanted Maya to be gone from college, which is the reason why he suggestet to her to leave college in the first place. But that didnt worked out...
Other than that, the free tuitution rumor is already spread, even Becky knows about it and of course Rio is done with Quinn, so it can be assumed that she might put everything on the table, unlike Mona Rio isnt afraid to sink the ship for sure. Quinn will have to face the consequences and Burke too. The whole thing will blow up in episode 12, like most of the other plots too.
Sadly, i think that means Rio will leave college, or maybe even dont come back in the first place.... we will see, in about 2 years from now.
