I think people forget that the behavior of the adoptive father and the brother before was due to the two Camilles’ souls being swapped. Unfortunately, it wasn’t really their fault—it was beyond their control. If you want to be angry, then you should be angry with Donna, who made a mistake and caused this whole problem. Even her mother didn’t treat her well when she was little. When the spirits returned to their respective bodies, the change was almost immediate. The adopted father have is fault but the bio dad is the worst and we saw that.

I wanted to talk about this because it is a real and painful story.
We see how a character who was once the victim of a pedophile later becomes both masochistic and a rapist himself. The bottom character, even if he is not a “green flag,” did not deserve to be raped. The scene is disturbing, and it is meant to be disturbing.
These characters are both victims and perpetrators. The top character needs healing because of his trauma, but he must also be held fully responsible for the rape. As for the bottom, he must be recognized as a victim of sexual violence, while also learning to take responsibility for his own actions and to begin resisting the congresswoman’s influence.
The story refuses simple roles of good and evil. It shows how trauma can reproduce violence, without ever excusing it.
