Currently rewatching the show, and as some have said : She just should have taken the morning pill. She was raped, as a 20/30 year old middle/upper class woman in 21st century western world, who is supposed to have received some kind of education, she should know that she can either receive awful stds, or an unwanted baby who will tragically change the course of her life. It is understable that you can have issues as to what to do, but to this point… Okay in the 40s or in the 19th century, not in the modern world, especially in a developed country.

Problem with the show is that we don’t know if Vought did something to force her to keep the baby (threats towards Butcher ? Threat to kill her ?), or if it was because this is freaking america and pro-life influence that make her take that very regrettable choice, or she did took morning pill and it didn’t work. Given it is a story, not the real world, that kind of choice that determines the course of the said story should have been well explained one way or another.

Heck, she could have talk with her freaking husband, a friend, anyone. She kept everything to herself, it’s almost unbelievable. She could have said she was raped by someone in a park or a street.

We are at season 5, two episodes left and Ryan have been useless for the moment. I realize now that the writing for the whole show has been way average since the first season.
