Day 7: MAG 06 Squirm

So I missed a few days (oops) but I am back and will be posting those days later once I get those finished up.

But today's episode is Squirm. Such a gross episode. Honestly, the corruption can stay far away from me in most cases. But I love Jane Prentiss. She's a sweetheart and I will hear no bad words against her ever.

But here's today annotated statements. The spoiler version has almost no post s1 comments, simply because no one at the archives wants to dig this back up.

I've seen a few tags on that Timothy Hodge post say that they found him legitimately creepy for sleeping with Harriet when she was clearly distraught. I can understand this, but I'm not sure I completely agree? Let's look at the scene.

"By now point Harriet was crying and I felt like a complete asshole for having brought the issue up. I mumbled some apologies. I don’t know what I said; I was just trying to make her feel better. Not sure what I expected to happen but I certainly didn’t expect her to kiss me at that moment. I know, I know, she was vulnerable and I feel like an a… But I swear I wasn’t trying to take advantage. I asked her again and again if she was sure, but she just kept nodding and dragged me to the bedroom. I mean, we had sex." (from the transcript)

Now, Hodge is likely to be a somewhat unreliable narrator, but if we assume that what he describes is something close to what happened... Harriet made the first real move. We have no reason to believe that she was drunk. He made every effort to make it clear that she didn't have to. But she apparently still wanted to. I suppose it's possible that she was trying to "pay" for staying at his place with sex, but I don't see any direct evidence of that, and I would figure that "asking her if she was sure" would entail making it clear that she could stay over anyway if she wanted. So I think what we're seeing here is Harriet responding to a stressful situation by turning to sex as a form of comfort and connection... which is very much a Thing That People Do.

So I guess the question is: does a sufficient level of mental distress remove a person's ability to consent?
