Drew shares his thoughts and feelings about an extremely disturbing and traumatic event.  The details are not 100% clear,  however his initial description was that his girlfriend was “raped and essentially kidnapped.”  Doug and Drew discuss what this situation brings up for him, and how it furthered his belief that he has to put on his Superman cape and save everyone. Drew grapples with the Vader voice in his head, and processes some pretty big emotions.  They discuss how Drew is showing up, keeping his boundaries set, and if this is really the right relationship for him. 

Instead of the usual  Meredith and Doug chit chat, they decide to spend more time discussing the session and the topics involved.  They feel that the seriousness of the situation lended more to focusing less on them, and more on Drew and the seriousness of sexual assault.
