So here we are again waiting for any news we can for episode 10 and speculating what's going to happen. I thought why not put together all the outstanding plot points for the characters and see which ones could be addressed in episode 10. Some are likely to go into episode 11, 12 and beyond.

Would appreciate the read as this took a lot longer to type on my phone than I'd like to admit 😅

Jill

Campaign for Lana So we know this Campaign Jill is arranging with the help of Jonathan is due for the winter. So perhaps we'll start to see development with this in episode 10. What will this be I don't know but it's set to be a big part for Jill's story.

Meeting the parents Jill asked MC to meet her parents in episode and she wants to meet Neil. Perhaps this could happen in episode 10. Her father is set to be an interesting part of the story seeing how she said he had changed perhaps MC will be able to help him.

Bianca plot In episode 9 MC caught Matthew and Olivia cheating on Bianca and depending if you told Jill I wonder how this will play out. I suspect it'll be a case of if you choose not to tell Jill you'll get the choice to tell Bianca and possibly get a lewd from her. If you told Jill however perhaps she will come out of her shell to help her friend.

Finding her voice Jill found her voice in episode 8 when she confronted Tybalt but now she needs to find her voice in the bedroom. It's clear this will be a moving point for Jill we're all looking forward to that moment she tells MC to go harder or faster.

Relationship with the DIKS Jill was finally formally introduced as MC's girlfriend to the brothers I think this will be addressed in episode 10 the dynamics this brings should be interesting. I can see Elena getting on well with Jill but Heather not so much. There's also that look from Rusty we'll be exploring.

The bullying plot It's clear since episode 1 with Jill and hints from dialogue from Jill and other characters she doesn't like bullies. I mean it's natural to not like bullies but Jill really doesn't like them. I feel we'll explore that, does it stem from when tucker cut her hair when she was a kid or maybe Lana was bullied.

Connection to MC's mother Now I'm not even going to entertain the incest idea as we know that's not it so we know it's nothing like that but it would appear Jill's family and MC's family have some sort of connection perhaps the meeting with Jill's parents and maybe even with Neil will shed some light on this.

Josy Jill and Josy have struck up an interesting friendship in the game up to the point she's willing to get her family lawyer into help with Maya's potential legal issues. Going froward I think like Sage will with Maya Jill and Josy's friendship will become stronger.

Sage

Plot with her biological mother It's clear from her interactions with MC that this is a taboo subject at the moment but I can see this becoming a main part of Sage's story I wonder if Sage did manage to track down her biological mother.

Her adopted family MC spent a bit of time in episode 9 going through the fact she was related to Jade, Stephen Burke and Tybalt. She clearly hates Tybalt and to a point she and MC put pumpkin pulp into his bed I wonder what the fallout of that will be. Sage struggles to talk to Jade about her feelings perhaps that's because Jade is a mess as well but Sage mentioned she wanted to be able to. Finally Stephen she clearly admires him so the closer we get to finding his true nature even though we've had hints the more in conflict perhaps Sage and MC will be when it comes to taking him down.

Her sex kinks Since the very beginning Sage has expressed a need to explore her sexuality and to be more precise to find someone to do it with. Chad being gay meant of course he likely did the bare minimum if that. With MC it'll be interesting to find out what she meant when she asks if MC will be into the stuff she wants to do. Threesomes? Yeah most definitely maybe public sex again. I wonder exactly what it is she wants to do.

Graduation Sage is graduating this year (game year wise) and is writing her dissertation with the coaching of Bella. I wonder if she'll have to do something like Tybalt did with his presentation or something else. It's clear though with how much time is spent on it this will come into play.

Chad, Sarah and Melanie Possibly the oldest plot point still not quite resolved. We know Chad is gay and we know Sarah and Melanie likely know this also however what is currently outstanding is what is Melanie's relationship with Chad is it Troy? How will Sage react when she finds out they both knew about Chad? Not to mention Chad's very own comments when he said Sage he didn't cheat on her I think there's a deeper meaning to that. Perhaps Chad was with Troy first and used Sage as his cover and in fact could be seen as cheating on Troy.

Date with MC I'm not sure because the time skip between episode 8 and 9 is a bit funny but did Sage and MC go on that date she agreed to when she handed him the leaf? If not perhaps that'll be a focus for them in episode 10.

Maya Sage is now connected with the Maya plot it's funny that Sage and Jill in a way are connected to the plot by both Maya and Josy so I wonder how Sage will help further with this. She did also mention to Maya about throwing her a proper welcoming to the HOTS.

Bella

Her husband The biggest elephant in the room lol. What happened to James? Will we be getting some development on this I wonder because at the end of episode 8 Bella remained wearing her wedding ring and lied about the reason she kept it on. Perhaps there'll be a big plot point of eventually helping her take it off for good. Maybe James will even come back and throw a wrench in her and MC's relationship.

Dating a student Episode 8 and 9 introduced us to the concept of a guide book for what the rules are for essentially teachers and students dating. By episode 9 Bella admitted she hadn't had time to read it so I wonder if there'll be some big information when reading it that'll throw a spanner in the works. Maybe something like the student can't be taught by the teacher they're in a relationship with due to conflict of interests etc meaning MC might have to choose.

Her trauma Bella is clearly harboring something that has deeply wounded her. Likely to do with her husband but we still haven't had closure regarding MC's comments in the library when he kissed Bella about if he had known the reason for why she had her cold personality he wouldn't have kissed her but asked for someone to help her.

Jill Bella and Jill had a fallout in episode 9 based on the actions in episode 8 of Bella and MC. Bella is actively trying to redeem herself to Jill who for the time being has put a space between them. Obviously Jill was upset and felt betrayed at the fact MC and her were quite serious and her best friend so to say stole her man or her best friend nearly set her up with someone she would have screwed behind her back. The plot thickens also if MC kisses Jill on the park bench after he tells her he chose Bella. Will there be resolution between Bella and Jill or will they now fight for MC. Bella did say she'd give up MC for Jill but did she really mean that.

Christmas Dinner and the room The start of episode 9 brought an interesting opener with a showing of Bella's House trashed after what appeared to be a Christmas Dinner. What happened? I believe it was a table set for 4, 6 or even 8 people can't remember but I think there's a deeper meaning to it. We finally see a figure appear from the room that is constantly locked who this is I don't know best guess is James. Opening that door with Bella I feel will be a big step in her healing.

The Library So in episode 8 there's an interesting piece of dialogue when MC rings Bella to ask her out on a date. She mentions to MC she's showing Brian her work pattern does this means she's handing over her full duties at the Library to him while she teaches? I can’t imagine anything good would come from LiBrian being in charge.

Nick The ending of episode 9 left us with a bit of a cliffhanger on the Bella path. As MC and Bella are trying to keep their relationship on the down low it's ironic arguably the DIK with the loosest lips catches Bella leaving MC's room early in the morning. How will this come into play? I have my own theories buuuut it's nothing but headcanon at the moment of Nick being the traitor. That being said why was Nick the one to catch them?

Josy and Maya

Their parents Josy seems to now have a good relationship with her father after they made up and I wonder if her biological mother will come into play again at some point not to mention there is also Tommy's mother who we are yet to meet. With Maya it's a little more complicated we know her struggles with her father I wonder how he'll react to the throuple. Then there's Maya's mother who in episode 9 when she starts talking about nearly starts crying I think that'll be a huge plot point for her.

Legal issues Maya is clearly in a lot of trouble with her financial situation. Her father agreeing to the tuition of a legal grounds she doesn't see Josy is a tough one. Not to mention Maya, Josy and MC taking a photo during Halloween I wonder if that'll come back to bite them. With Jill now being involved with Legal help I wonder where this plot thread is going.

Josy and Maya Ironically one of the biggest plot points in Josy and Maya's relationship is each other. We seen a little bit in episode 9 that they're arguing on things like money due to Maya's financial situation and the two of them are quite jealous if one spends more time with MC than the other up to the point I believe you actually upset one if you don't spend an equal amount of time with them. During episode 9 there's a scene also with Josy when you take a photo with her individually she asks if things would have been different if she was with MC and not Maya. If he says they wouldn't have worked out Josy looks visibly hurt as she leaves the room not to mention there's choices throughout the game you can pick who to make happy which I hope doesn't lead to a split in the throuple but can see it happening. How will this be resolved I wonder.

Exposed Episode 9 ending on the throuple path had them exposed to the DIKs specifically Tommy seeing Josy. How this dynamic will work now is anyone's guess. Knowing what we know with Tommy he'll be upset someone has bragging rights they had sex with his sister. Derek on the other hand I think is chill with it now so I wonder if he'll help Tommy come to understand the throuple relationship. If word on college gets around the three are them are now in a relationship I wonder how that'll effect the story.

HOTS So we now know both Josy and Maya are part of the HOTs does that mean now Maya will move into the house like Josy or will she remain at her dorm? How will Quinns prostitution ring effect Maya it was clear when Maya was speaking to Stephen he was going to accept the sponsorship for Maya until she brought the rumour of free tuition up. Has Maya escaped the Mona scenario? I hope so. Either way Sage is planning a welcoming for Maya so we have that to look forward to.

So that's the plot points I had specifically for all the main girls might have missed one or two out if so feel free to bring them up or add onto the ones I've highlighted. Think it's good to remind ourselves of what's actually happening with each character to understand potential story point which will be explored.

Might make one with the side girls this week also then one for MC and the guys of BAD
