Amen! If the writers' idea for this story was to stir up debate, then they succeeded. However the execution of the story line leaved a lot to be desired. The way they presented this story line, it was like 500 shades of grey (and not a nod to that terrible book/movie). If they're trying to say that someone just not remembering then it's definitely non-consensual, then that seems awfully black and white. I mean what if it was consensual, but then one or both parties don't remember? Whether it be due to more drinking or the alcohol not fully taking effect till later, etc.... Also what if 2 people had sex and then one party left building and fell and hit their head and they have amnesia. Is that now considered rape too? Point is the way that the writers portayed this particular story line, nothing seemed black and white. It seemed like Bay didn't even consider it rape until her mother said it was. Plus it seemed like she was only upset about cheating on Emmett. The one inconsitsent flashback didn't help. Talk about an unrealiable narrator. I think that the resolution was kind of lousy too. At least they made it seem like everyone involved felt bad about it. I think if the creators decide to take on another touchy subject that they do a better job in the writers' room.
