I couldn't help but recognize Kelly Bishop's voice on the phone - Emily from Gilmore Girls!)
we already have Logan, even Richard.) it's a pity that she got such a small role, I would like to see her more often...)

An atypical episode for the series, without a courtroom, without accusers and judges, but nevertheless, it's very cool, it's about life, about a rapist fighting for women's rights, about girls who are "imperfect victims.".. makes you think.

Why does Alicia leave the phone, first Gold listened to and erased the message from Will, now Peter.
The series itself resembled a similar one in House. Something like "from the ship to the ball." Even on holidays, they have to work.

And the second episode is about an influential rapist and a victim who is not believed (in season 1). It's a pity that the girl didn't find the strength to press charges. Such a man, who has repeatedly harassed women, should be punished regardless of his status.
The call from my wife just killed me... That is, she knows and covers for. "Well, he's a man of the world, everything will be lost without him." 🤦🏻♀️

@Koralain: I remembered Station 19 on 5/19.
In short: an attempted rape of a female firefighter, she resisted, and as a result, the rapist died in the hospital. Moreover, she called rescuers, who helped him.
AWESOME, it's nothing to say when the police responded to Wep Warren, yes, they kind of knew that Andy Herrera's character needed to be flushed and so on.
Seriously?!?
And if the victim hadn't called Vepa, she would have washed everything in the shower, from under the nails of the rapist's skin, his DNA from her skin.… And this is not a street prostitute that the police don't care about, but a "decent member of society." Women don't come forward with statements, because then it's their own fault.
The heroine had to look for another victim of the deceased rapist herself.
This is a developed society, and in South Africa, women who have been raped have nowhere to turn to.

But to me, in principle, the series reminds me of Cilantro in places, Scandal in places.
In the Scandal, there was a series about an award-winning rapist and a great man who fights for women's rights and at the same time his wife knows and protects him just like here.
Gold resembles Olivia Pope. And even the moment with the prostitute, her appearance in the news, her popularity, and her desire to write a book are also similar to a Scandal.
I agree with the opinion of many, children are as strange and narrow-minded as possible.

I didn't understand why Blake was vandalizing the victim's house 😱
Is he normal at all?

@Croheart: Alternatively, he hid the break-in with an imitation of a robbery. BUT he and Kalinda are worth each other. One smashed up a rental car with a bat, the other trashed someone else's apartment.

But what was it possible? Usually everyone tries to hush up the case with money or threats, or you can just ask your wife to call.

It's a very weak episode, and it's not about the courtroom, but the fact that the masseuse came like that, and then just merged! Apart from Peter's political election games, there is no plot!
