So, moment darkest before the dawn sort of shit uh? I guess we're doing some classic hero journey shit, the hero losing everything in his darkest hour before overcoming adversity.
My guesses?
POSSIBILITY 1:
They do the thing, Hunter frames Sterling, Ophelia kicks him out, he is left alone and with no one because they all slandered him with the rest of the Harem, yadda yadda yadda.
And then, we get to "control" Drew for but one second.
She is a House Game protagonist after all, so it would make sense.
And she asks herself, after her father revealed to her his master plan, one simple thing.
"Do I care about this?"
If she DOESN'T care, she accepts reality as is. She and Keira move back to Canada, she decides to become a better Mom to Lucia, to be there for her, and we have the domestic shit, which is neat, is nice, it's heartwarming- Until it isn't anymore, and Drew is given some "ghosts of Christmas past shit" until, stricken with guilt, fucks Lucia.
Then Lucia goes, NOT THE ROBOT, Lucia, in the fantasy, after they have fucked, "Sorry daddy (Yes women can be called daddy in sex scenarios especially by other women in lesbian sex look it up it's a thing), you know it's too good to be true, I'm afraid you'll need to do the right thing for once in your life."
And we're back to the choice again, ad the second choice is flip out, and she does flip out, because kicking out Sterling broke up the FAMILY, and FAMILY is EVERYTHING, there is nothing stronger than FAMILY, and now her sister, her nieces, everyone is depressed and miserable because of her dad, and she swears she'll stop him.
POSSIBILITY 2:
As I always say, Lucia is the sleeper character everyone underestimates here.
She missed EVERY. SINGLE. COLLECTIVE BAD ENDING. in the game. Her only bad endings have been by HER OWN CHOICE, the one where she fucks Hunter is to out him to the family, the one with the old dudes ends with her KILLING ONE OF THEM in cold blood, the ONLY bad ending we can count is the What If 7 and 8 ones, and in BOTH cases she's doing it either because of her Futa Fetish OR because Sterling doesn't validate her suspicions and she's left vulnerable.
Which can't happen here with Hunter.
So, Sterling is kicked out, but as that happens, Lucia "cappotta," as we say in Italy, Drew via Mind games and emotional manipulation, turning her against her father. The black king had the queen the the two knights kick out the White King, but was too busy not to notice the Pawn as it ranks up, and turns his own queen to white.
Hunter should have googled En Passant.
This to say, Drew and Lucia team up against Hunter, to find a way to clear Sterling's name, and to find a way to ruin him after what he did, again ending in a cliffhanger.
Now the question is, with Sterling kicked out of the house, where shall he live for the next chapter I wonder? Everyone should hate him now...
I guess we could bring back Penny this way, or maybe he'll have to leave the country, maybe to some place no one is ever going to look for him, maybe even... Africa!
POSSIBILITY 3:
THIS IS HOW NNENNA CAN STILL WIN!
