Prediction: Rick will file for bankruptcy prior to the contempt hearing. He will appear for the hearing, apologize for disobeying the court, and be held in contempt. He will be sanctioned attorney's fees. (As a caveat, if Dan or any other funsters are in attendance, Rick will ask the judge to remove the stalker childs. If the judge rightly denies this, Rick may explode and wind up neutralized by the bailiffs.)
Paying Quasi means the idiots won. Admitting to a protestor that the debt exists means the idiots won. Letting the idiots win is intolerable to Rick. He will avoid this at any cost. We have seen, however, that Rick can admit the debt exists so long as the admission is not to a protestor. He did this in several interviews and the Twitter thread. He will do the same at the contempt hearing.
The amortization plan would have required paying Quasi. Someone else, Lynne or Nikkki, must have suggested it, and the cowardly Rick played along until time came to actually arrange payments. Then Rick bailed, ducking through alleyways to the nearest bar.
Rick is in check right now. His only move is bankruptcy. If successful, the debt to Quasi would be completely discharged. All the deleterious consequences of bankruptcy - the things a sane man would consider - are irrelevant. If the debt is discharged, the idiots lost. Quasi could defend against this gambit by moving for a dismissal due to the bankruptcy being in bad faith. This would be a lengthy and costly process. If that were unsuccessful, he would try to recoup some of his money rather than total discharge. No matter the eventual outcome, bankruptcy means Rick avoids checkmate at the contempt hearing.
I hope I'm wrong, for Quasi's sake, and Rick shows up with a check from Lynne for the total amount. I just don't think it's possible. Rick has literally ruined his life not letting the idiots win, there's no reason to think he will change course now.
