Written By Marygrace O Shea, Julie Martin and Warren Leight
Directed By Constantine Makris
An actress is raped on stage during a fully masked theatre production; detectives are forced to track down the victim's stalker, who filmed the crime.
Tropes
- Rape by Proxy: Meghan Weller is raped by an audience member in an "interactive theater". Her rapist is easily identified and caught, only for him to show the detectives the victim's online dating profile where she specifically mentions wanting to be raped during a performance. The profile is a fake and is eventually tracked down to Holly Schneider, a jealous friend of the victim who's sick of her "stealing" roles from her. The actual rapist is horrified to realize he actually raped someone.
- The Resenter: Holly Schneider is a very resentful, plain, chubby wannabe actress who is so jealous of her naïve, pretty friend Meghan Weller that she sets her up to be raped by a judge and pins it on her director because Meghan stole Holly's part just by showing up, while Holly had to prostitute herself in order to be considered and wants Meghan to "suffer for once in her life". The detectives find it ironic that out of all the exploitative men in Meghan's life (she had a stalker plus a sleazy director), the one who actually hurt her was a woman who acted like her friend.
- Working with the Ex: Judge Crane's lawyer is his ex-wife.
