I think you got a perfectly accurate impression of the episode. It pretty much consisted of scenes like that. And yes, it is painful, but it is painful in the right way, because these things needed to be brought to light. That it makes people uncomfortable just shows how much.

My only fear is that it is just this one episode and that everything will be back to the way things were again next episode without ever being addressed properly.

But then I remember season 8 with Jeremy Carver in charge. I have enough faith in him to believe that these double standards - to that extent at least - will only last for two more episodes.
