IIRC Ian doesn't know who Gillian's boyfriend is. Billy is a very unlikely candidate, though -- Gillian's boyfriend moved to town a few months ago because he's found a job here, and that doesn't really fit Billy's circumstances.

edit: a fun fact, now that i thnk about it. When Chapter 10 was released, i thought the way the game avoided ever having Ian and Mike interact has gone to ridiculous level, with Jeremy (who is familiar with Mike, his coworker) for some reason choosing not to introduce him to Ian, his friend even though all three of them were in the same spot and shared the screen. But now, given Jeremy's reluctance to tell Ian about Gillian, his behavior regarding Mike would actually make certain sense, if Jeremy has learned recently that Mike is Gillian's new boyfriend, after seeing Gillian with him together at the club.

Guess we'll see.
Anyone who expects a twist about who Gillian boyfriend is will be dissapointed.
Im 90% sure Mike is dating that hoe,it just makes sense.

Don't turn this into GOT S8 where it's all about "subverting expectations". Mike fits Gillian's boyfriend so well from all the details in the game. It also make sense from a narrative point of view and is more interesting this way given the possible decisions we can do in the game. Changing this because "audience already knows the twist" just screams that the author just wants to feel smart by proving people wrong and inadvertently ruining the established hints and narrative potential for a cheap "plot twist".
Or you doing it like rian johnson: subverting expectations and here we gave you shit ^_^

Is this when playing from a save, or with fresh start? If the former then might want to try starting the game from scratch with new build; odds are some changes could make old saves incompatible in some ways.

There are some good parts and some bad. Story progression seems to have backed a bit (might be me) will wait till final release.
Bit of hanged and kinda feels rushed. Animations are improved too and EK art seems to improved too.

My sense is there's about 2/3 of people posting here who were unimpressed generally but liked certain things, and 1/3 who did like it generally. My own opinion is that I do like what's in the update, but it feels slim overall. Also I think I was expecting more forward story movement and Eva gave us - being upfront about it in one of her Patreon update posts - more character exploration and continued plot setups rather than plot payoffs. But I see that as my own expectations and not a fault with the chapter. A few characters didn't appear at all or were used only in exposition roles, while others were given multiple sex scenes, and that can be great or annoying depending on which characters you like better/want more content for. Generally people here have agreed the sex scenes themselves were solid and the art very good.

I thought the update was solid. A bit underwhelming compared to the excellent Chapter 10 because there was little story progression and some scenes that felt like a retread. Also, little to no Ivy or Minerva on Ian's part was a bummer, especially since I thought the scene Ivy had with Ian was the perfect opportunity to get the ball rolling on that path.

There's at least the possibility. It's an old thought of mine that there could be something deeper to Ivy's feelings for Lena. When it comes down to it, Lena is her only social contact that doesn't depend on sex or materialism.

If anything though I think it might be subconscious, maybe Ivy doesn't realise she feels lonely? She does sometimes come off as having a bit of tunnel-vision when it comes to her desires, evidenced how Axel made a fool of her in regards to Wildcats despite her knowing very well that he isn't a dude that keeps his promises.
That was exactly my thoughts on first playthrough of ORS about IVY. She is kinda keeping herself reserved from getting any kinda attachment/commitment emotionally and she just lives on edge that's the life she is living continuously. Her behavior towards Lena is on more emotional level but she just flips/goes extreme sometimes not in order to hurt Lena but out of habit.

My opinion is : by producing a game that is more "intellectual" than GGGB, EK satisfies only a part of her fans ; and (as myself) the ones who don't speak fluent english are lost... I will take a look at the game when it will be completed, but i don't expect to really enjoy the final result (even GGGB could have more interesting endings).

You might be right but it can be like this too
I feel when he talks about "that person" he means it as "that dude you cheated on me with (whoever he is)". In fact, if Ian knew the guy's identity then it makes little sense his name never comes up, in the dream in this chapter nor anywhere else -- it's always just "The Guy" or "he", even if it'd be natural for Gillian in Ian's dream to refer to him by name,
It just that when people take emotionally massive hit they tend to indirectly approach those things. Some people I watched around show this exact behavior referring to the person the one their partner cheated with as "that one" etc. Even Gillian mention him as Her boyfriend and not mentions his name(check how she talks about him).

for Ian questioning Jeremy to simply ask "was she with X" than the roundabout way he goes about it. Lena, who is in similar situation, has no trouble with calling Cherry "Cherry", instead of only ever "that girl".
Jeremy gives impression that he doesn't know the one Gillian cheated with. Ian also gives this impression many times that Ian didn't discussed details with anyone before and just kept things in closet. this might be reason that Jeremy doesn't know him otherwise he would have said so to lessen the damage he done by not telling Ian that Gillian is back.

Cherry was introduced way before to Ian and Lena came clean a bit later but Lena is more open than Ian so her rage is what pushed her to share her ideas.

* Lena can share her thoughts with Ivy at least Ian doesn't have that otherwise Ian would've shared his thoughts with Perry, Wade, Emma or Jeremy.

EK also had gone to lengths to keep his Identity hidden.
