And yet Sage instantly believed Maya when her story differed from Quinn's. Why is that?Quinn and Sage are very close.
If the MC goes to Sage to tell her that Quinn is doing some shady stuff behind her back, Sage will ask for more, except he won't say more.
Eventually, Sage will talk to Quinn. Having nothing to back up the accusation (which is not precise), Sage will trust Quinn who tells her that there is nothing going on. HOTs who prostitute themselves will go in Quinn's direction. The MC will be screwed.
If the MC talks to Sage, he confesses everything to her or else it won't work.
Because Sage knows Quinn has poor judgement and an oversized attitude. Because she knows there must be some reason for Maya storming out and Maya's story makes a lot more sense than Quinn's. And because she's the fucking president and it's her job to keep an eye on the sorority, not blithely assume all is well! Granted, she was asleep at the switch for weeks, but she does try to make up for lost time when something finally rouses her. That's why I believe that if the MC went to Sage following their conversation in Episode 5, she would hear him out.
And I'm not even talking about out-of-character information. Even a pure-as-the-driven-snow CHICK MC MC knows Quinn is running a prostitution ring. He knows she was trying to recruit Camila for something. He even realizes the link between those points, all on his own:

That's enough to at least point Sage in the right direction, and given how Camila is feeling right now she may well crack if Sage started asking her questions. Even if she doesn't, Quinn isn't exactly the Moriarty of vice; anyone keeping their eyes open will see a bunch of interesting coincidences.
And of course things can get much worse if the MC actually discusses Maya's scavenger hunt list or makes the connection to Mona running off (since he can witness Burke leave the room after her, and hear Josy suggest it had to do with free tuition). But that's currently more speculative, so I won't count it. It does, however, serve to illustrate just how much corroborating evidence is available if he'd just ask Sage to look into it.
Please. From everything we've seen Quinn is considerably more dangerous to her friends than she is to her enemies. I'm not losing any sleep over her vendetta.And then Quinn rains hellfire on the mc. Even if it he exposed it after episode 7 when Quinn really likes the mc, if he did that to her, she would cause him a lot of trouble I reckon.
