It appears to me that there's two levels of the restaurant. The first is prostitution that comes through Burke and the investors who likely get access to the girls in return for their investment. Every girl in the restaurant is automatically part of that. The second level is the drugs business that comes from Quinn and Burke is either not aware of or turns a blind eye to, not all girls in the restaurant have to be involved in the drugs side of the restaurant. With that in mind I'll try to answer the points you made:Whoever figures that Season 3 conversation out, is 98% closer to the final answer, because it clearly implies that they sell drugs/use their restaurant to a) first pay back some "obligation" and b) use the extra for their personal drug use.Code:Riona "We stop what we're doing, right now. No more new girls. None of this fucking "expanding" bullshit!" Riona "We stick to the original plan, with the current girls and maybe Camila" Riona "and we just sell what we need to sell, on top of our obligations..." Riona "...then we cut our losses and we move on..." Riona "...before this gets harder to keep up with." Riona "And I'm still fucking concerned about who's been spreading that HOTs give free tuition." Quinn "Don't worry about it. It's just a stupid rumor." Quinn "We can dismiss that easily." Quinn "We just have to make sure that the girls keep their lids shut." Quinn "And we can't cut back, we're so close now!" Quinn "Look at Sarah and Melanie! They are paying for themselves and more, at this point."
So one basically has to figure out the following questions:
1) What's Quinn's and Riona's "original plan" ?
2) How can Quinn unilaterally decide to expand their buisness if they need a sugar-daddy for each girl ?
3) What exactly is that mandatory obligation they need to pay back first ?
4) What losses would they cut ?
5) How can any of the girls pay for herself if it's not about her drug use, since that's clearly extra ?
6) What are they "so close to" now ?
1) Take advantage of the sex for tuition scam that Burke has probably been running for years by turning it into a prostitution business within the college and then make more money by selling drugs within the same business.
2) Burke probably doesn't have an upper limit on the amount of girls Quinn can hire each year, he would like as many hot students to fuck as possible, as would the investors, do you think they only want one girl each to fuck?
3) Burke has probably set a % of tuition money to be paid back every year in order for Quinn to run her restaurant using his tuition scam. If she fails then it reverts back to just being Burke and his investors taking advantage of the girls with no business for Quinn to run.
4) "Cut our losses" doesn't necessarily mean they are making losses, it just means stop doing it before potential losses are too much.
5) Say tuition is $10k, the girls charge $50 for a fuck, Quinn has to pay Burke 50% of the tuition fees back for the right to run the restaurant, if a girl sells sex twice a week on average for a year then she pays for herself. Sarah and Mel probably average significantly more since they both appear to have high sex-drives hence why they are "paying for themselves and more" despite not appearing to be involved in the drugs side of the business. However other girls who are reluctant to be prostitutes may not make enough money to pay Burke, hence why hiring too many more girls may end up being bad business.
6) Financial independence, having enough money after paying the Burke tax to live comfortably outside college even with a low paying job.
