either we're missing a few pieces, or Quinn's plan with Maya is not at all clear.As others have pointed out, it seems pretty clear Quinn did intend to draft Maya into the restaurant business (if she completed her slutty scavenger hunt). In Episode 3, Riona insists Quinn should NOT offer Maya and Mona work at the restaurant, but Quinn gives every indication that she plans to do just that.

But in Episode 6 after Mona blows up in their faces, Riona reiterates her concern about putting Maya on the menu. At first Quinn continues to stonewall her, but after Riona threatens to quit herself, Quinn appears to reconsider.

The implication is clearly that Quinn altered her original plan in Episode 6 (either to mollify Riona or because Riona had finally convinced her that Maya was too risky to involve), and planned to reject Maya at the party. Unfortunately for Quinn, she forgot that Arieth had already been appointed as Josy's mother and thus could also accept scavenger hunt evidence from Maya ad Josy. Hence Riona's checkmate: by the time Quinn recognized the danger, it was too late to avert it.
It seems impossible to me that she would think Maya would complete her list (in fact she's convinced they failed), and at that point after having to kick her out of HOTs how could she possibly control her? seems like a self-sabotaging plan to me.
Quinn goes out of her way to make Maya not trust her, gives her an impossible task, lies to her about free tuition and then somehow expects her to be able to work for her?
maybe the key was the photgraphic and video evidence of passing the hard tasks? a more or less exolicited blackmail? this would fit in with the subsequent demands on Arieth
