I have been a fan of this show, but perhaps not an avid defender of Truth Be Told. Episodes like this highlight some of the glaring flaws associated with it. At the heart of this episode was two characters talking on the podcast about the dangerous situation this season has presented so living up to the show's core ideology should have been entertaining. It just wasn't though.

Octavia Spencer and Gabrielle Union are just not clicking right now and I feel like this was a bit of a miss from the casting department this season. There is still time for the season to turn things around and get good though.

Could have done more in order for characters to be sympathized with

Now having said that I can completely understand that when a victim comes out of trauma there is an adjustment time-frame and the person is now different. However Trini is back at home with parents happy to see her, her "boyfriend" isn't answering any of her texts because his job was done, she wont talk to her parents, she still wants to escape from her room through the window that is locked, her parents had to deal with CPS and get cleared to have their daughter back who made the choice to follow her boyfriend and not leave when she had the chance in order to prove her live to him.

Okay, she misses the gifts and attention from her boyfriend but that's done, does Trini actually want to go back to being a mute prostitute that is beaten and she is not allowed to have a voice? Attitude for her parents and not even glad to be back home.

There either needed to be more background for why she has such low self esteem all of a sudden and would rather be assaulted every day than with her parents. After a while her lack of reaction to being home is just coming acriss as ungrateful and maybe she didn't want to be "saved".
