Forum:Beyond the Beef issues

So basically I got New Vegas a little late. I bought this game over last weekend and so far have put in about 50 hours. Now I'm not new to bethesda games so I know that they definitely tend to have some glitches (like how I can't finish the thieves guild quests in Oblivion and have to make a new character to get my last achievement)But with new vegas it seems to become more frequent. I was doing Beyond the Beef and took the route of just lying about helping the cannibal cause. I went to the freezer, freed Ted and took him to the hotel rooms. Because the quest didn't really do any update at this point I went to the inspector's room and sure enough ted got hit by one of the white gloves. Now he won't go through the loading screen transitions. I went to the page for the quest here on this website and tried doing the fast travel fix and everything but alas, no such luck. So I thought I'd just continue going down the path of continuing from where the inspector left off. Now this is where I did things a little different, I didn't have the rep with the strip at the time to become a member of the white glove society, and took the uniforms from the two white gloves that attack you in the inspectors room in order to evade being attacked in the member's area. So then I made phillipe run off for the second time, made fake food, called the head waiter and went to the member's area and nothing happened. There was no speech, nothing. So I went and drugged the wine and went back to the room and yet again nothing happened. Unfortunately I saved before I even went into the room so both the fake food AND the wine had been drugged at this point. I went and increased me rep with the strip really fast and got sponsored to see if it would help move things along and still nothing. I'm unable to call the head waiter, I am unable to cook any more fake food. I had locked phillipe in the freezer to see if I could make the food again and nothing happened so I went and unlocked it and waited for 24 hours in the lobby to see if the quest would update again like it did previously when I took ted out of the kitchen and phillipe had returned a few hours later and yet nothing. I am now stuck completely on finishing this quest. I can tell Ted's father about ted being kidnapped and he gives me the shotgun but killing Mortimer just has the effect of making them all attack me and doesn't change anything. I've gotten Ted and his father in the same room before by means of hitting Ted and either making him flee or chase me and then getting to his dad before him and his guard attacks me but still nothing. Nothing I do will allow me to finish this quest and I'm on the verge of just giving up on it entirely. I'd really appreciate any help that some of you may have. I'm sorry for this being such a long post but I've spent about 3+ hours on trying to correct this bug so I'd thought I would explain what all I have done and where I am at with it. Thanks again in advance!
