Description

S1E1: a man has sex with a woman whom he mistakenly believes to be his girlfriend. A plot in season 2 involves a clone's ability to reproduce being exploited by a cult. S2E5: rape on-screen. The rape is never addressed after the fact, and this is likely because it involves a woman attacking a man rather than the other way around. Although not explicit, the scene is unambiguously not consensual. S2E9:a cult leader impregnates his (assumably teenage) daughter with the embryos of a clone fertilised with his own sperm via artificial insemination. It is made clear that the daughter is not happy about becoming pregnant and especially uncomfortable about carrying her father's children, and that she was pressured/coerced into the arrangement by her father as a way to atone for a past transgression and is being used as (essentially) a brood mare to populate the cult with the Clone's offspring, which the cult's leader deems to be special/a gift from god. S3E1: a woman is groped by a man. Season 4: an ongoing sexual relationship between an adoptive mother and her son. This may not be technically considered incest, but a character has a relationship with the woman who both created him (as a clone), and then adopted him.
