Judge Me Not Season 1 Episode 5 Lights Out
Episode 5 of Anatomy of a Scandal begins with KateKate arriving home to see her best friend, Ali. As we found out last episode, its not actually Kate but Holly. For the purposes of this recap though, we’ll keep calling her Kate.
Kate blames herself for not going to the judge, Angela Regan or anyone else at the courthouse. As they talk, it suddenly dawns on Ali that Kate was sexually assaulted by James. She took this case because “no one else was qualified” like she was. Now, this is actually a sackable offence so Kate needs to absolutely nail this otherwise her job is on the line.
Flashbacks show a trembling James sitting on the edge of the bed following the assault at uni, worried about “f*cking up big time.” It turns out the night of Alec’s accident and their dancing was actually the exact same night, so everything is connected here.
In the present, James is briefed on how to handle his time in the witness stand, encouraged not to stray from the topic at hand – consent. He’s also warned not to underestimate Kate.
On the witness stand, James speaks of his affection for Olivia and how they were spending countless days together, buying gifts for one another. He also got her a birthday gift on the 23rd July… a day that saw Sophie and the kids out on holiday together.
Sophie is up in the stands listening to all of this, swallowing hard as James claims that there were moments of love between him and Olivia.
In James’ version of events, Olivia was the one who called the lift and she was the one who instigated the kiss. She reached for his neck and Olivia helped him open the blouse and move his hand down to her bottom.
The bruise on her breast was actually a result of a love bite, something she regularly liked during lovemaking. He also claims to be “more certain than anything” of her wanting to have sex, including use of the words “hell yes.”
