Rosi owes nothing anymore if you are on great terms with August! Oliver is too dumb to see the reach August has in the city. If you are buddy with Hana´s Dad his final solution to the Oliver problem will make the news. Even if Oliver survives, which is an if, he will certainly no longer go after Rosi.
Right, I'm sorry, it didn't occur to me there's people who did have good enough relations with August. Which on one hand is probably the smart thing to have done, but alas, at that point I felt like I'd be going out of my way to cozy up to a guy I only know is a scary-ass gangster and deadbeat dad while I can still maintain completely decent and cordial relationship with him without doing so. So I had to go through Kitty-Kat. (With whom I was just shy of having enough points to have Rosie's debt forgiven.)

Well, this ain't a game show, is it? These are hardcore criminals running the contest.
Sure, but showing the current Carnations that even if they win they'll still be subject to your whims is a rather bold choice for Week 3 out of 4. Obviously if Allison is enthusiastic about it (think Andrea writ large) this won't be problem, but that doesn't fit with Jim's comment or the way Kathleen runs things. I'm curious to see how this plays out.

If they haven't realized that was a risk when they "sign up" for this, they're naive. It's like mafia or dubious organization, you're never clear of them

I'm pretty sure Allison is the woman who won the previous Exhibition. She often appears on posters in the background.
As someone mentioned, she's the winner from last year's exhibition. I was replaying the second exhibition and...

Absolutely. I don't want to derail this thread talking about mafia too much, so I'll hide the following part behind a spoiler. Just know that the stories I tell here have been reported to me by friends and co-workers, and I consider them accurate.

Of course, this does not mean that fictionalized mafia, or other types of criminal organizations, are subject to the same rules and considerations of their real life counterparts: that is for the writer to decide. However, in "realistic" fiction, agreeing to come to terms with criminals of the caliber of those who host the Pale Carnation club always implies either desperation or total disregard for the consequences.
