I hate that episode. Trip got date raped in a scene where the aggressor uses pedophile tactics, like tricking someone who doesn’t know better into sex by calling it a game, then the rest of the episode is spent on victim blaming and mockery.
There’s also a weird anti-abortion undertone where, whenever they talk about removing the fetus, they clarify that they would only do that if they could guarantee that it wouldn’t harm it. It’s as though someone who was tricked into sex without their consent isn’t justified in seeking an abortion (not that anyone needs a justification for an abortion beyond, “I don’t want to continue this pregnancy”).
