1 point against Melanie`s revenge - Monica can have her redemption through Marcus lovestory, and even Vicky will suffer some dogs dicks. (little chance as she`s already Phillips pet, and Philip has connections with 218 blah bla blah).
Melanie in this story already property of 218 - and if Monica will have good end Melanie not. She`s not lovetarget of Marcus.

It's not redemption, it's crap (or, to be polite, brutal blackmail with a threat almost equivalent to murder). And if anything can work here, it's probably Monica's stockholm syndrome multiplied by her panic and self-preservation instinct. But it's anything but redemption.

Full redemption, it seems to me, could happen within the main branch (‘The Office/Photoshoot). The last hope for redemption is the likely appearance of Monica's husband in the very end game and the realisation of the conspiracy theories I wrote about earlier. But whether the DM will decide to take such a turn, or whether it will be completely different and instead of redemption we'll get a stupid wedding with some big investor (aka a "fake good ending") is an open question.

Mel isn`t main MC of the game. So no focus on her.
That's not a strong argument against her having a good end. If she's important enough to have a long-running character arc, then she's important enough to feature prominently in at least some of the endings.

As for "no focus on her", that's already obviously not true.

I think the only real good endings for Monica have already happened from ep1. The one where she never enters the police station and the one where she marries Dick. Even the possible conspiracy ending wouldn't be a pure good ending in my view. A Monica who has avoided every sexual situation possible is still compromised. And a husband who would plan and implement such a scenario for his wife would be long past taking her back. I think if it is the husband behind it all that it was done out of frustration and spite, not to teach her a life lesson and take her back.

If the conspiracy is true, I think it likely he had given up on Monica being the woman he hoped she was when he married her and had decided to throw her to the wolves and see how she fared.

I still think the conspiracy ending is a big possibility, just not a redemption or good ending for Monica. In my opinion it's likely that the husband's goals were a bit (or a lot) of payback and to leave Monica poor and on her own in the end. We know Steve has been embezzling money out of her company and can have her sign her company over to him for her $5000 weekly debt.
Also Victoria had the IT guy hack something from Monica's company a while back which still has not been explained exactly. It could of been to embezzle money out of the company like Steve has.

So this all could be a way of divorcing Monica without needing a settlement and robbing her of her wealth as a big "fuck you" from hubby. And with the added bonus of putting her in a position where she will need to do what she likes least, which is to have to fuck her way out of her manufactured problems.

This turn of events can't be ruled out either, but I want to believe in the best. It's easy to think of a bad ending(s), given that DM has been deliberately driving Monica into the depths of despair and hopelessness all these years. But whether he can surprise everyone by letting Monica get out of this mess not as someone's trophy wife, but as an independent figure is the question.

As for Monica being “compromised”, that's nothing more than a rich people personal quirk, and so far it's been business as usual. Monica is still (even now, in ep4 perceived by the press ( and thus the general public)) as a powerful millionaire Influencer with her own quirks. In any case, this is not an issue that could technically prevent Monica from getting her money and power back.

The same millionaire Paris Hilton didn't go bankrupt after her homemade porn was leaked on the internet, she became even more popular and rich. As they say, black PR is also PR, and if it works even in our world, then in the absurd world of FB, it's certainly not going to be a problem and a reason not to make a full blown good ending that the players want. After all, our lovely Monica deserves it.
