The lesbian reading of this episode seems to come naturally, although admittedly I'm likely biased in my interpretation as a lesbian myself. It was certainly not unheard of in this era, however, for gay characters to be portrayed in a similar, somewhat ambiguous fashion, although never in a particularly positive light. Regardless of if our two leading women Eve and Addie were specifically written to be romantically involved, I personally find it makes the episode an awful lot more interesting to see it that way. It's not a bad story line - a woman marries a rich older man to provide for herself, her secret lover, and their child, but when things turn south, her lover kills the husband to get him out of the picture. Things do not go as planned, and relative chaos ensues. The plot doesn't quite get to live up to its full potential here, though, as the writing is just a bit rough around the edges and could maybe use a few changes. Still, it didn't hinder my enjoyment of it too much. I do love the way the story is framed, with the same events playing out slightly differently through the testimonies of each the defense and the prosecution, leaving the viewer to decide for themself what really perspired prior to the events of the episode. It's certainly not a trope invented here, but it is one of the things it does well. All in all I wouldn't say 'What Really Happened' is worth particular note among the rest of this series, unless you are similarly interested in the possible queer representation of this era, but it's definitely not worth skipping over.
