I can't get my head around "consent after the fact"; if you can, please let me know.
I don't think of it as "consent" after the fact, but rather am attempt by the victim to regain some control. I've seen RL interviews with people who've done that, victims of date rape who went out with the person again and had "consensual" sex with their abuser, and it's heartbreaking. In my opinion, even if Telford does sleep with Emily it'll be because he's deeply fucked up. But I doubt the show will realize that, which is disturbing but not new.
Huh, interesting. I interpreted that row boat scene completely differently. I didn't read it as a symbol of escape, but just as an element of the picture. And she was upset because if she could forget a detail from something she'd seen a thousand times at home, what else from her life will she forget? How long before her connection to her partner starts fading?
I think that last scene was Dr. Park sleeping with Greer.
(And I have to agree - Greer is a much more compelling character than I expected at first. I always look forward to his scenes)
