Rape

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 10 May 2021]

Incapacitated women in cars (drunk, or out of gas, etc.) are approached by a police officer. He helps them and then offers them water, laced with a date rape drug. This episode shows the complexities of such cases. Embarrassed victims, problems with identification, stonewalling by the police. All these factors come into play to make a rape arrest so very hard. Well acted and intense.

Great Episode. Ivy Kirk (Aunjaune Ellis) must stay!

This episode was one of the series best. Great writing, great acting, great stunts and an awesome guest character Ivy Kirk. She was amazing, I wasn't really a fan of the show until I saw this episode. I am really surprised on how well she flowed with the rest of the regulars. The chemistry and history seemed believable. I truly believe the producers should really consider Ivy Kirk (Aunjaune Ellis) as a series regular, it may help the show tremendously. Great Casting. I just loved this episode, I had to think of something to write. If Aunjaune Ellis does indeed become a regular on this show, I would stick to it. I'm just going to wait to the next episode to see what happens, (fingers crossed). I mean her acting and character had true depth and belief, it appeared as if she was a part of the team, I don't know if that was by mistake or not, but it worked in her advantage. I mean, if a random viewer decides to write about how much they loved her in the series, I think it's a indication to the producers they are doing something right.

too much pushing, perhaps?

I can understand police methodology about pushing potential witnesses into identifying someone just so there would be a lead to follow. but being a show built on using math as a means to identify--and later apprehend--suspects, a character, albeit a guest one at the at, pushing the victims or suspects goes beyond the premise of the show. The main characters could have done just as well without a rape" specialist, even if real world situations would have required consultation with such an expert. No one would have noticed the difference.
