I think that they did okay in showing that DV can happen in a same sex relationship. I'm very glad that the story unfolded in such a way that Mitch was not responsible for Alissa's death. THAT, I believe, would have been detrimental.
I didn't care for the 'stay outside' comment they left in but, all in all, I see that there was some effort made and I can appreciate that. Do I think any of us could have done better? Absolutely. I wonder if they had a consultant while they were filming that episode?
Oh, and did anyone actually pay attention to the actors and actresses that were included in the rally scenes? There was a smorgasbord of examples of our diversity as a community in those scenes. That, I also appreciated.
