Wait but didn't he still have a relationship with her when she was like, a teenager and also his patient? Like, isn't that still absolutely messed up?

[@dietotaku]

yep, and he proved exactly why you don't get romantically involved with your patients regardless of their age.

[@christafranken9170]

Yes, it was. Both the patient part and the teenager part on their own are highly problematic, because of the power imbalance. That may mitigate, but it doesn't completely erase that she murdered him because of an alleged affair

[@WilliamHogan-v1b]

Unethical and illegal.

[@rojeff4547]

he also literally said “age of consent what is that? the pleasure you give me is your consent” on one of the tapes but that was conveniently left out of the court hearing

[@BlaxkSun]

@@rojeff4547it’s the same tape, but it picks up where she stopped it

[@mariapdr3261]

Unpopular opinion apparently: making a psychiatrist who seduced an underage patient look like a innocent romantic victim to a jealous wife who unfairly jumped to conclusions isn’t actually a great plot twist. The guy carelessly took advantage of vulnerable underage teenager in his care and should have had his licensed revoked and the fact he clearly doesn’t see anything wrong with what he did is a major red flag.

@@SteOhara And the original comment is something called analysis. It's a thing where people dissect an interesting form of media to unearth theories and implications within a work because it's fun and thought provoking. It's all fine and well if that's not something you're personally interested in, but it doesn't make it ridiculous when somebody else is. That gives superiority complex and that's not a good look on anybody.

[@KomoliRihyoh]

Okay, but, like, he *was* an abusive husband. He was her therapist and she was a minor. The DA in this show has gone to bat and chosen not to prosecute abuse victims before when they kill their abuser, and juries in this show have acquitted women using the "Battered Wife" defense before. I'm surprised she got 15-to-Life at the end.

[@SolomonGrod]

she killed out of jealousy. She would've also killed the perceived lover of her husband had she found them together. Sympathizing is fine, but there's a reason intent is baked into the law. leniency can apply if she committed the crime in defense of another, perceived or otherwise....

[@BlaxkSun]

Well… no, she didn’t kill him cause he “abused” her, he didn’t manipulate her or threaten her. As a therapist he was horrendous, but he was her husband and she killed him out of thinking he was talking about another woman.

[@SolomonGrod]

[@soren3569]

Okay, so she gets an appeal on one of two grounds: Either her lawyer was incompetent for not listening to all the tapes, or the DA withheld the tape clarifying the situation until the dramatic courtroom reveal, violating discovery. At the new trial, a competent attorney would likely argue diminished capacity--this woman has been abused and gaslit for decades by a sexual predator and manipulator. She accurately said it herself--she has no idea what 'love' is.

[@blackdandelion5549]

One can listen to the tapes and still not be incompetent for knowing it was about his wife. Lawyers are still human and it's hard to be entirely objective when reading or listening to some evidence. Let's pretend she has all of the money for a fully competent trial lawyer because to prove a lawyer acted against their ethics to rise to the level of actual incompetence takes a whole lot. . . .a public defender may not have done much better with it. In addition the prosecutor is going to attack so much of what you have said. I would expect a full forensic psych eval to be done on her and potentially one by the state and one by the defense so they can poke holes in each other's theory. If she is proven to have such capacity issues I can assure you that she won't be seeing her daughter anymore regardless of the sentencing whether receiving therapy or jail/prison. "She accurately said it herself--she has no idea what 'love' is."

[@soren3569]

@@blackdandelion5549 Oh, sure, I'm not saying no ramifications. I'm just saying the appeals process would be highly in her favor for ordering a new trial, and in that trial, I would expect diminished capacity to be a defense. You're absolutely right that losing her daughter would be a likely result.

so she killed her abuser/molester

[@RLucas3000]

Well, he abused her like a zillion years ago. The statute of limitations was already up about a half a zillion years ago. But some would say he got karmic Justice, even though she loved him and wouldn’t have killed him had she known what the DA revealed. But now she will spend the rest of her life behind bars. Is that just to you?!

[@dmf1301]

Yes, he abused her, but that was not her motive for attacking him. It wasn’t ‘trauma’ that motivated her - it was a clear and logical choice to kill him because she was jealous.

[@takumi2023]

I also dont think he abused her, took advantage, and groomed her, sure. but until we know how the dynamic of the relationship played out when she was a young teen, we can't rule out that he may have loved her as the attorney argued. Is that wrong, maybe.

[@dmf1301]

@@takumi2023 he can argue that he ‘loved’ her until the cows come home, but because that ‘love’ comes from the power that a therapist has over their patient, it’s not a proper love between equals. It’s predatory love. It’s coercion and abuse. That’s why it’s illegal.

[@voidcadet]

Posted this previously, so here it is again. Spoilers if you don't can't watch the whole episode: The episode name is Betrayal, and there were quite a few of them. The big ones are: 1) The victim had, in the past, slept with an underage patient and married her (current wife), betraying his doctor's oath. 2) The wife shoots the victim (and would have shot anyone else in the office) for betraying her with yet another patient (Meredith). 3) Lupo thinks Cutter betrayed the law by roughing up the victim's minor daughter to get the real story. 4) Dr. Olivet thinks the prosecution is betraying her, so she betrays them by testifying for the defense. 5) McCoy betrays a confidence to counter Olivet's betrayal: she slept with one of her patients, a 2nd betrayal for Olivet (I'm guessing it was Mike Logan). And the twist of there being no second betrayal by the victim doesn't mean he's blameless, just a fool for trying to hide his memoirs from his wife, who'd be a major character in the book.

Isaac specialization was troubled teenager, that's how he met his wife. The episode showed at least 2 of his patients, a boy and a girl. Both of them trusted him a lot to put him on a pedestal, to the point the boy attempted suicide after he learnt Isaac died. Those kids however adore him and reject any accusation that Isaac ever harassed them. As far as we can tell, Isaac never made a move on anyone other than his wife. The way they got together is messed up, I agree, and there was probably some kind of manipulation going on considering all of his patients practically worshiped him including the wife. The quote here probably is, love makes you crazy.

This episode doesn't just try to rug-sweep the psychiatrist being a predator (as well as implying that his abuse "cured" his troubled teenage wife,) it also just has bad writing. The wife confronts him about the tapes, and he says "Mind your own business" instead of just telling her "They're about you." He had zero reason to hide his memoir from her, he just did because the episode wanted to preserve the stupid twist.

There isn't actually a cycle in this episode. He fell in love with his wife when she was underage and a patient so absolutely sick, unprofessional and not remotely a solid foundation for a relationship, not to mention based on the court scene it's quite clear his wife has conflicting emotions on the matter (to put it lightly) and that he was controlling which again not healthy. His license should be revoked. But..........a cycle implies doing it again and again, at least as far as the episode goes (and I have no idea if there's any remotely plausibility to a shrink only doing this once) he only was with his wife in this regard.
