It's amazing that a show set in a police station took 120 episodes to tackle sexual assault, says Marissa Martinelli. "Ultimately," she adds, "the episode argues against its own singularity, as in a poignant scene in which Amy reveals she has been the victim of workplace harassment, something she has in common with 'literally every woman I know.' If the writers really want to stress just how widespread stories like Amy’s and Keri’s are, they might consider revisiting the topic in Season 7, because sexism, harassment, and assault are everyday occurrences that can’t be comprehensively addressed in a single episode, even one as thoughtful as 'He Said, She Said.' There’s nothing Very Special about them." ALSO: "He Said, She Said" episode shows just how pervasive inappropriate behavior toward women is every day.
