Not to mention Victoria is drunk out of her ass. And Edwin is stoned, and there's Ian next to him in similar condition. This is hardly a setup to have a serious conversation about anything, and especially about his mom's porn career that both have been wrestling with half of their respective lives.
This is true, but then again TD could have toned down the intoxication a notch if he wanted to put the discussion in this update. I think the size of this update combined with the desire to juxtapose whatever Victoria tells us with the Week 3 Exhibition were the driving factors here.

I'm not going to entirely write that off as a factor (for example, I might of put some more small talk to fill out the scene), but it is how the scenario genuinely played out in my mind. Vicky would naturally get blitzed, and Edwin is both happy to put off the uncomfortable discussion for selfish reasons and because it's a conversation best left for when they're sober.

Plus, there's something nice ending with Vicky realizing Edwin knows without her even having to say it.

But practically speaking, breaking up the reveal (if you can even call it that, considering the dissonance that the player knows ahead of time what's happening and Edwin doesn't) and the resolution gives space to let Edwin do his usual analyzing thing, lean on a relationship variable or two, and cheaply becomes a talking point in between updates.

I agree, that bitch Grace, for the way she treats the MC's mother, should be fucked in the most perverted way possible in front of her brother and son (in a club). Kat could do it? I don't know, include it in the exhibition as warm up...
I kind of hope Killian gives Edwin permission to fuck her shit up, after hearing how she tried to blackmail Victoria. Not sure if it's better if he watches or not, but I expect he would, with his childhood maid giving him head while he watches his egg-donor punished and defiled.

Edited to add: I will admit the Marlow thing is pretty hackneyed. It's hinted at very early in the story, but it's never used to inform Edwin's perspective when it comes to Mina, the threesome with Rosalind, etc when it very well should considering how formative it would be. My hand wave would be Edwin is pretty good at compartmentalizing and has moved past it, but it's honestly just me not factoring it appropriately into the story.
I imagine it could always be included later into the story, now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak. Maybe precisely because Edwin has potentially re-acknowledged those events. Just like certain aspects of Victoria's porn career apparently bleed eventually through Edwin's mental walls, his ability to avoid pondering on how his first short-lived relationship potentially impacted the recent developments in his life, could eventually run out, too.

Admittedly, V has a very, very cute mug, but I always manage to forget that her head is saddled on a body five or six (conservatively) sizes larger for it. Half of her bloodstream must be PEDs. This is probably where all of the money really went, not on a gym maintenance and renovation.
Just saw this and instantly connected in my mind :D After Powder Blue maybe she will ok with the role in the RL PC movie :D
