I May Destroy You doesn't have time for victim-blaming in its fifth episode - The A.V. Club

This also apparently brings us to the end of Biagio and Arabella’s relationship.

It seemed possible that he’d offer Arabella support, understanding and love, just like Terry and Kwame have done.

There are a number of factors that make men like Biagio and Kwame’s officer skeptical of victims.

Zain and Arabella’s relationship has jumped ahead three weeks.

It’s evident that Bella is using their relationship as a form of therapy and she still dreams of Biagio.

Arabella is obviously putting in actual work, but Zain doesn’t value or see it.

Arabella not only calls Zain out for what he did in front of his own mother, but also address the very definition of it.

As good as the moment feels for Bella, Sion and Terry, it’s still rushed.

It’s difficult to confront another woman about her partner’s potential past abusive behavior, so I like how the script has Sion approach Bella.

The problem is how quickly Bella goes from understanding Sion to speaking for her on stage.

Yes, Sion alluded to a similar incident with Zain, but that doesn’t mean she was ready to come forward in front of an entire crowd and her boss.

Sion seems okay with the sudden rush of internet attention, but we needed to see Terry and Arabella’s conversation about the issue to understand her intentions and any possible boundaries Bella crossed.

It seems like a missed opportunity to exclude that talk, especially since Terry didn’t even know Bella was seeing Zain or having sex again.

There’s so much happening for Kwame, Terry and Arabella.

Kwame still hasn’t told Terry and Arabella what happened to him and Terry’s stage fright is probably tied to a deeper issue.

Bella’s relationship with Zain was an understandable part of her healing process, but with seven episodes left this season, I hope this really is the last time we see him or Biagio
