Pretty sure Eric did feel bad—he even admitted as much in his story where he complained about Taylor acting like a little bitch after sex (which I think was at least partly macho posing but still true in that detail). I did like though that the female interrogator replied that he didn't seem to feel that way. Eric…

I know Ryan Murphy isn't a writer at American Crime *Story* but could you imagine if he was handling this material? Oy… I mean I know he did male rape on Nip/Tuck (and AHS…) and…

Agreed with all of this. Except—the kids thing is an important point so why not raise it in an episode where we see—I dunno, how great Josh is with her friends' kids or something first?

He really has proven himself I think—it's nice that they've been giving him deeper material. I mean sure he always had the looks and presence, but…

It isn't—his name was different. But yes, that's what I felt too about how the moment was shown.

I would wonder more if it had been a black out, but it is odd—unless it was meant to show, by freezing the moment briefly, Taylor's own sudden panic (ok I'm grasping here.) DOes ABC have a detailed *official* synopsis and if so does it say if they kissed or not?

At the time I read it as his dad being involved (as victim or not) in something similar in his day and upset that his son would be involved in something similar. But we haven't really seen any sign of his dad reacting that way since

Also this is an annual party thing. His parents may well have thought nothing about funding it—like it's just another school obligation. As for the booze, he easily could have rounded up money from the other kids (as we did back in my day…)

RIght—obviously this show does its research so I thought it must come from somewhere, but I woulda thought it would be more like a dis in the "How was it last night?" "Ah not great, he was Q2C"

Exactly. He barely remembered what happened. Perhaps he remembers more now, or I dunno? I know when I was a teen and used to get black out drunk, while nothing like what happened here ever happened to me (thankfully I had good friends) sometimes the next day or so I would remember having had a great time and then a…

I am wondering if it was meant to be an A- like most of the reviews for this show have been (I'd give it an A, but an A- would still make sense).

I did find that brief scene of her washing her hands so vigorously after placating her board members (?) and shaking each of their hands, interesting. Briefly I didn't know whose hands they were—Was she disgusted on some level with herself? Or was it a perhaps too on the nose moment showing her washing herself of…

I agree. And certainly the dad (whose name I'm blanking on) was upset with Kevin when he first heard about the attack….

I am sure it was meant to be ambiguous as Hell, but I didn't read it that way…

Exactly. It's great to see a character like Evy on TV—I understood both of her reactions completely.

(And yeah, while I don't know a lot about youth sexting "so my parents won't know what I'm saying" acronyms, is Q2C a real thing? Cuz? umm? That's not really one I could imagine wanting to use)

Didn't Season 2 have the same cast mostly as Season 1? ;) ANd then it changed with Season 3? (Though my love of Skins went back and forth, for the most part I thought they had a strong cast—nice to see so many of them move on to other things)

Although that Grindr Man scene had a few odd (I assume for language but couldn't tell) black out flashes as well.

Could it just be a thematic image they shot and not directly related to a scene in the show?

Yeah this Jade arc, as I (and others ;) ) predicted when the review
asked for more of her last week, is a disaster of cliche boringness.
While also cliched, I did like the joke of Michael Urie's agent just
endlessly swiping right on whatever hook up app he was on.
