Tommy literally did have to accept not having Rusty's Dad's money and having to learn to pull his own weight. He also had to accept the deal made with the Jocks in Ep 10. So he'll accept this too because he's not above having to accept things when necessary.
It is happening.
And you don't accept the obvious truth of DPC's words, the fact he's working on
one freeroam that has 87 characters and multple environments, his words. You don't accept the obvious truth that this is one big party at NYE that just about every character will be at because it's prime drama for the big season finale. Your fixation on 2 parties or this not even being the NYE party (which it clearly is since it says so in Sage's new preview
and she's wearing a different outfit to her preview with Jill because that's the recital) is all completely wrong and not even based in reality or logic at all.
First of all, no it isn't. It's not at all unrealistic that the DIKs get put in charge of organising a NYE bash for the college because as you like to point out, they do host the best parties so they're therefore good party organisers. It's also not unrealistic to think that this is done and suggested as a means to mend fences between the frats, that the DIKs and Jocks will be made to set aside their differences for one night so there's no fighting over the HOTs. Honestly, this is exactly what's called for in this situation and far more likely than anything you've suggested.
Secondly, it's a freaking AVN and most of all a fictional story. If DPC thinks the story is best served by having a party where DIK, Jocks, and HOTs agree to have a joint party that is open to the whole college, then that's what he'll do, even if you think that's "unrealistic", which it isn't.
You're the one that doesn't.

Do you see that? The balloons in that banner clip behind Melanie are the same ones behind Maya in her preview. Do you know why? BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME DAMN PARTY!!! They're just in different parts of it.
Oh my God, how do you not get the concept of different angles of shots and that you're not seeing the whole room?

Check back and you'll see those same balloons behind both Melanie
and Maya, because it's the same event in the same place they're just in different areas of it.

Source: You made that up.
She's looking up and light is reflected in her eyes. NEWSFLASH: That's how light works

She could be looking at a disco ball or strobe lights for all we now but she sure as shit ain't looking at anything outside.
One freeroam, multiple environments. Those are DPC's words. You're just making stuff up now and it's embarrassing.
No, they really do not

You literally just make up things to suit yourself and ignore obvious facts and DPC's own words and description of what he's working on.
