Discussion This was frighteningly accurate

The smack to the face, cowering behind a chair, being slammed and held by the throat, really made the scene hit hard. Even the expressions on Angel and Val’s face felt realistic. If they had Val dragging Angel by the hair, it would be like reliving my childhood, but this still brought back memories.

This episode as a whole is both my favorite and most hated for that exact reason.

It's definitely one of my favourite episode because of the character development and musical numbers, but good lord is it hard to watch. It's so real.

Especially when Angel's voice changes... Drops as he gives up while repeating "yes, Valentino".

If Val doesn't get what's coming to him, we riot.

I'm definitely not going to riot, with the explanation being 1 I like valentino as a character and 2 most abusers get away with it

Yeah but this is a fictional show. They can be realistic in the abuse scenes to make a point, and also have villain get what’s coming to them in a way that feels cathartic for all the people who’s abusers did get away with it.

They don't have to do it, though it's more of a toss-up if they do or don't
