I was shocked and disturbed by the episode ,but I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it heavy handed at times. When they were first kidnapped and handcuffed together, I rolled my eye a little bit because OF COURSE after Lucero exposes how homophobic he is, they would be but in a situation where they have to be in…
