i do agree with other people saying it made sense etc like within the story. their other scene in today's episode was actually good at showing todd's thoughts and how she's got to this point. i don't have a problem with that part. (except for how they're allowed to be that explicit when it's SA but not when it's consensual...)

it's more about when you zoom out, there's three lesbian characters on the show (because you killed the lesbian of colour off last year) one is now a rapist and abuser and the other is probably going to take her side* (even though she knows charity wouldn't lie about this so it would be wildly ooc for vanessa to not believe her) and the bisexual woman who is a survivor of multiple SAs and just lifelong abuse has just been raped again (but by a woman this time! 😱) while she's trying to cover up the fact that she cheated on her husband (with two people in one night) while renting out her womb. also it's pride month. congratulations emmerdale that's maybe the worst anyone's ever done it.
