Episode 3x10: "Fallen"

Welcome back, friends! A.L.I.E. apparently hacked into Erin’s wifi on Saturday night so we had some Skype issues; please forgive the handful of weird glitches where I had to edit out some messy sound.

Fair warning, this is a lot less of a review and more like a meta. We had a lot of very complicated thoughts about what story the show may be trying to tell this season about morality, and how all of this week’s stories fit into it, so this is more of a discussion about ethical conundrums than a point-by-point recap.

(P.S. trigger warnings for sexual assault and self-harm.)
