15x19 - “Silent All These Years”
I haven't been this connected to a Grey’s Anatomy episode in awhile, but tonights was so powerful and important for tons of reasons:
It doesn't gloss over either event of assault or mention it once then brush them off
it shows a more in depth process and legality of consent with the rape kit
it shows very realistic fears and accusations that a survivor might/will face when stepping forward
and maybe the most important, it shows the power and comfort of women standing together to give support
I wish I could find the words to describe the pain and pride I felt while watching. The writing was beautiful. Some people are going to complain about how Jo “brushed off” Alex or how there wasn’t any “proper” character development, but this episode was so important to spread proper awareness and that to me seems more important.
I’m not sure I’ll be watching grey’s anatomy anymore
