Synopsis[]
While walking past a construction site, Gloria is besieged by sexual harassment. It escalates and she is soon the victim of attempted sexual assault. Archie and Mike debate whether to call the police. Gloria eventually musters the courage to call an investigator over. Things are complicated when the detective tells her that the man she is accusing will make a counter-claim that their encounter was consensual.
Summary[]
Gloria is traumatized when she is attacked and nearly raped while walking home from work. At first, the family insists that Gloria press charges against her assailant. Archie and Mike soon change their minds when a no-nonsense police detective named Vogel tells Gloria what she will be up against in court. This time around, it is Edith who proves to be the most level-headed member of the household -- but will she be able to persuade Gloria to put her reputation on the line by testifying against the would-be rapist? There are no easy, pat solutions in this particular episode.
