Allison is disgusting

Warning: Spoilers
So far, the show has been unorganized and messy, but still enjoyable. However, that all changes in this episode as the show goes from stupid but fun to downright despicable.

In a scene with Luther and Allison, Luther notices that the apocolypses and losing her loved ones has taken a huge toll on Allison. He checks up on her and gives her a hug, but Allison suddenly kisses her out of nowhere. Luther then indicates that he is not interested in her that way anymore. Luther says he is going to see his new love interest, Sloane. Allison is for some reason upset by this fact, even seeming to take offense to the fact that Luther is not attracted to her anymore. Luther than says that he is not okay with being used as her distraction. Allison then proceeds to use her powers, saying "I heard a rumor you want me" essentially taking away Luther's free will and forcing him to have sex with her. While Allison eventually calls it off, it does not change the fact that she sexually assaulted and abused Luther. What's dissapointing is that they do not address this assault at all throughout the rest of the show, which is sad because the show was able to handle Elliot Page's transition very tastefully. This scene has essentially ruined Allison for me, and after this season, I may not come back for the fourth one.
