The real weight of this episode rests on Athena Grant’s shoulders. Her pursuit of a serial rapist leads her to a storage facility where she is brutally attacked.
Angela Bassett delivers a powerhouse performance. Even when she is "powerless" and physically broken, her resilience shines through as she manages to turn the tables on her attacker off-screen.
The sequence is terrifying. Because of the blackout, the 118 and Maddie are forced to listen to her radio as she is pummeled, unable to reach her in time.
