Gloria is almost sexually assaulted, and she wants to file a case against the perp, but Archie and Mike have second thoughts when they realize how difficult it would be to do so.
Good, no, great episode on the subject of rape. It had the right amount of humor and some drama and was handled in a really good way. A+ is of course going to be my final grade for this episodemoreless
AIRED:
Gloria comes home from work in a most unusual mood, and confides in Edith that she was attacked near a construction site walking home from work. Mike and Archie call a police detective to the house with the intent of filing a complaint, but have second thoughts when the detective bluntly explains how difficult it is to successfully prosecute a rape charge in this day and age.moreless
