Description

S2E7: Offscreen, a boy and a girl meet at a party, get drunk, and end up having sex. While both parties insist the encounter was 100% consensual despite their intoxication, the story spreads and is twisted to the point where the boy is accused of having raped her while she was blacked out. This leads to the school instilling an official policy that all sexual encounters on campus are expected to have "sober, enthusiastic consent" from both parties. Most students doubt this policy really protects anyone, others feel it's just the school covering their backs, while others feel that if it gets people to stop and think, it's a good thing. The episode revolves around the characters discussing what counts as "sober, enthusiastic consent," and where the line between consensual and not when alcohol and lack of communication is involved. A character recounts a time a male friend felt pressured into having sex with two women and only went along with it for fear of being mocked. Other characters laugh at the idea that this was assault, until it's pointed out that if the genders were reversed, no one would be joking about it. Multiple characters feel that alcohol is essential for their "game," and the merits and flaws of this view are discussed. Worthy of note: an adult college student has a romantic subplot with a professor at her school.
