Here's a more realistic breakdown:

She wouldn't work every weekday, the joint probably isn't even open every weekday. Strip joints do best on Friday and Saturdays since people typically don't work the next day.

So Friday and Saturday are the day's she'd peak. The rest of the days of the week would be shit.

Looking at this timeline, we can gauge what days she works:
  • Monday: In Episode 7 the boys are cleaning and the club is open but dead, they even comment on how sad it is. Lily isn't there.
  • Tuesday: In Episode 3 the MC goes to the Pink Rose for the first time and meets Lily. In Episode 7 Lily is chatting with the girls at the Pink Rose.
  • Wednesday: We don't know, but I'm gonna say they close midweek.
  • Thursday: In Episode 4 the MC goes to the Pink Rose if he's staying with Derek. Lily isn't there.
  • Friday: In Episode 8 we have the second cleaning day, Lily is there, but we don't know when it is, but given how well it's going, it's likely a Friday or Saturday.
  • Saturday: In Episode 5, Lily bails on the Prep Party and goes back to the Pink Rose.
  • Sunday: No details, but probably closed.
So possibly she just works three days a week, and Tuesday would be the worst ($300), with Friday and Saturday when she's raking it in ($700).

It's unlikely she's even clearing 100K a year.
To be fair, a 100k a year in a regular job that needs to pay full tax, versus a 100k a year in a cash job that can easily cheat on tax, is a big difference, no matter where you are.

That's no coincidence. If I'm not mistaken, Sarah is a
That actually makes a lot of sense...I can certainly see a lot of the similarities there indeed

I'll be damned Sarah is smoking hot in this sig. She reminds me of an actress but I can't remember who. Anyway another amazing work Penumbral Evanescence
Thank you, my friend. I very much appreciate the kind words as always :devilish: :love:

If it's the same person, there must be some other objective, otherwise why share it only with Stephen? He kept it in his back pocket until now. Maybe after he resigns, then the video gets leaked by the mystery party: once again the DIKs have ruined the reputation and career of another teacher, and even tore apart a prominent family. And of course, extra damage on Sage's path.
Also: to prevent losing half of everything, Stephen will probably use the video to destroy Jade in the divorce.

Not probably. Definitely. If Stephen has the video he offers Jade a 90-10 split. If you don't show the video to the DIKs or don't fuck Jade in the first place he offers a 50-50 split.

I am not so convinced that the culprit is the same.
the only thing they have in common is that they probably came through Rusty's laptop.

but the methods and effects were completely different. with Cathy there's someone who actively took the photo only to have Rusty take the blame afterwards, a rather reckless and risky action.

whereas with Jade's video it's a much more judicious operation, getting the video shot (or commissioned) to whoever would gain the most from it. and Burke hardly has any interest in the footage becoming public: it's one thing to threaten to use it, it's another to actually do it, he'd lose out too.

If the Cathy Cluck and Jade video are truly unrelated incidents, then that's quite a coincidence. It's like if someone is robbing your house, and at the same time someone else is breaking into your car. Plus fucking Jade AND sharing the video are not canon events, so another party being behind the leak/Stephen having access to the DIKs' files would still need to be explained on other paths. If it's all connected, it's easier to explain.

Time to replay the Interlude... I don't hate Zoey, but I certainly don't love her. Or at least I don't care about her as much as DPC was probably hoping. The whole story probably could have been condensed some more, a lot more. Ah well.

DPC was smart enough to open it with a pretty good lewd...

... but then was stupid enough to have it set against the wrong kind of song. Anyway, San Diego here I come!
