That "please lower your voice" really sold it. John Q didn't even tell her to say it, she just had really good instincts by painting the guy as an obnoxious loud mouth that many people can relate to encountering IRL, really made it that much more believable. I don't think an actor has ever said that before on this show but they should since the loud personal convos in a public place is a clear tell-tale sign that you're on TV.

The unspoken motion between the three ladies to protect the actress in the first set up is the level of empathy and care we need to have for one another. Nothing much was communicated but their actions were instinctively to band together and protect the lady, that right there is what humility is.

No as a woman that’s been harassed since I was a kid, it’s nice to see people actually want to help. I’ve never been helped in public. Women need to be protected more. It happens far too often to women of ALL ages. It’s so real that’s why so many women got emotional. We know what it’s like. One time I got harassed on a train byw two separate men, within ten minutes of each other. One dude started groping himself and another man saw it happen, when I removed myself from that situation, the man that saw it took it upon himself to follow me and harass me too! They didn’t know each other! Just two random men while I was trying to get to school. That’s only one story. I have dozens more.
