We've seen plenty of damsel in distress plotlines, but this one starts at crazy and builds to "What is even going on?" A woman is terrorized by her ex-husband's weird gaslighting schemes that are tough to prove. But crazy schemes are right up The Equalizer's alley; he counters with gauging with "Hm what effect will it have on this guy if I pretend to take a romantic interest in his ex-wife?" ... and then, to the viewer's surprise, they actually do take a romantic interest in each other. Warning: The episode itself, with its ever-increasing absurdity paired with the May-December romance, has in some cases (ours) led to nausea.
