wow is Rachel's mom straight-up evil

"you can't tell anyone you were raped because then no one will love you" is a good way to ensure that it actually is super-traumatic

I have a super bad feeling about Coleman. Like, what could he possibly be planning to do with that tape that could have any good come of it?

I hate the secret rape trauma explains mental illness plot so much.

jeather, that plot line goes a bit deeper in ep 10. It's not the rape but what happened after.

I finished the season and upon consideration I hated the secret rape plotline when it came up and I still hated it at the end.
