In today's story (2.9), locker room talk turns into a boast, then into a bet, then sneaking into someone's bedroom, stealing their stuff, and accusing them of adultery, which is followed by attempted murder, a secret escape, living in disguise, dramatic revelations, and a gruesome punishment for...ONE of the guys responsible? Unsurprisingly, this is accompanied by a lot of bitching.

CONTENT WARNINGS:

Locker room talk, throughout.

Sexual harrassment: a character sneaks into a woman's room and examines her body while she's sleeping, takes some of her stuff, and uses that to convince people he slept with her.

Domestic violence: a character believes his wife has cheated on him, and so orders a servant to murder her. This becomes widely known and is not punished.

Gore: a character (bad guy, we don't like him) gets executed by being covered in honey and bitten to death by insects. This is described in a fairly gruesome way between 30:30 and 30:50 (after the main character returns home and is celebrated by her community).
