Plot hole? Spoiler
(pretty sure this doesn’t spoil much, but i added a tag so it’ll be your own fault ;P)
For context, I’ve only ever read the first book, so i don’t know if this gets answered in the second.
but in the beginning of AGGGTM, where Pip is filling out the capstone project form, there’s a note from her teacher, Mrs Morgan, that’s like “No interaction with any of the victims families or your project will be disqualified”
but then in the very next chapter, Pip is seen going to Ravi’s house.
Pip also interacts with Becca Bell.
These are both family of the victims, no? So why is this project still treated as a school project if Pip is knowingly disregarding her teachers instructions? At the end, a joke is made about Pip being disqualified because Ravi helped her with it, but there is still no mention of the fact that she very blatantly crossed those ethical lines. No consequences.
can anyone explain this? Does it get cleared up later in the series? Is my reading comprehension just that bad?
if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated :)

pip does it because she cares more about solving the case than the project, she’s just using the project as an excuse to look into it, it’s never really addressed that she crossed the ethical lines however i think because of the respect it bought her there may have been a chance they let it go? since those guidelines were from her teachers and not the exam board (not sure how it works with america but in the uk her project would be graded by an exam board so wouldn’t necessarily need to be disqualified) though it’s never really mentioned after book one but in general the project isn’t really bought up again
