Quinn pretty much confirms this anyway.

I can't remember the line, but she says something like why do you think I could Jack up my prices anyway. Then it cuts to Vinny.
Yeah, they haven't been close at this point and he dropped out a year ago from college. It's been a long time since they last interacted I think.

I like that Vinny got brought down a peg though, it showed that there is always a bigger fish and Vinny got too over confident when he fucked over Quinn, forgetting that she had some dirt on him too, even if it wasn't that major.

Did somebody say peg?

And why would keeping MC at arms length to keep stripping make sense? A stripper can very much be in a relationship. I doubt Nicole intend to stop stripping for MC and she isn't keeping him at arms length.
In Lily's mind, if she has a romantic interest in someone then she cannot be taking her clothes off for others to look at her. It doesn't mean she's not allowed to be in a relationship and still strip, it's that in her mind, it's wrong and won't do it.

MC doesn't even visit her at the club, says it feels weird now.

He got hit with the same "all the extra you've made, you're going to pay me back and then some." that he put on Quinn.

But because Vinny has been doing this for years now, compared to Quinn doing it for a month or two...Well, it's safe to say that he's in even worse shit than Quinn.

It's why he got fucked up really badly whereas Quinn got off scot free. (physically at least) Quinn is replaceable since she doesn't make that much money for Buddy, but Vinny does. He can't exactly kill him, at least not yet anyway.

That's why he wants to get the Pink Rose girls back to buying from him, he doesn't have enough cash.
Quinn got off Scot-free because Buddy has a weak spot for her, literally no other reason.

I think the implication might be that she's not only stripping, it's established that several of the strippers offer sexual services for cash to VIP clients, as such it's not a stretch to think that Lily is one of these strippers, which is why she doesn't want MC to develop feelings for her.

I'd say it was because of Rio but the implication seems to be its be shuttered for some time
No, theres a line about not having sex since Halloween, the Quinn storming out of Burke's office happens shortly after this.

The restaurant was likely "paused" around here.

It is declared, Mel says quinn has paused their services.
Exactly, paused, it kind of insinuates that Quinn is looking to start it back up at some point, which means that there's going to be yet another sub-plot where Quinn is probably going to try and blackmail Stephen Burke.

The last time they had sex was with MC in their respective lewds. But if he didn't fuck them, they'll say it's been too long or whatever.

A pause isn't necessarily a definite closure. Then again, seeing what Quinn is doing, I doubt she will unpause the restaurant, if she even goes back to B&R at all after her war is over.
I know it's not a defenitive closure, we don't know the conversation Burke and Quinn had. He could have told her to shut it down completely, he could have told her to reign it in a little.. Whatever the case Quinn's told Mel shes paused the services, wether that's cause Quinn knows it can be opened again or she thinks she can get it open again is another question...

Either way she closed it, be it temporary or full time. But I think the shit with Rio has opened her eyes a little so it's likely she's not going back there...
